We were well pleased with our recent (3 night) stay at The Elms. Just out of central Hobart (~1.5km) and walking distance to a nice assortment of North Hobart cafes, restaurants and useful services. A great, less touristy area well suited to people who want to have the use of a hire car and not have the hassle of finding... More

My wife and I stayed at The Elms for three nights in March, 2012. The rooms are very comfortable, as are the ensuites. The rooms, the grounds (although they are a work in progress) and the whole house exude charm. Hosts Tina and Raymond are wonderful, and do their best to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible. The... More

I agree with the previous review. I too was surprised to read a recent negative assessment on The Elms. I found The Elms to be centrally located and close to most of Hobart's attractions. The building itself is a delightful example of an early 20th century mansion and to me, it was like stepping back into another era. My room... More

I stayed at the Elms in Hobart recently - I found the experience magical. The hosts ,TIna and Raymond were so helpful and gracious, and the room was emaculate and very cosy.I was surprised to read a critical review of the 'Premier room' as i stayed in that suite, and found it to be lovely. I found the Elms with... More

We stayed at the Elms during our stay in Hobart - 2 nights on arrival and another 3 nights after touring the Huon Valley. Tina and Raymond were perfect hosts, and we found the Elms Suite comfortable and very spacious. The house exudes period charm while retaining all the comforts of the present century. Breakfast was a special joy -... More

We paid $300 for a very old tired room complete with gold cherubs and dirty blue couch. The bed was very hard and in need of replacing. It was marketed as the "Premier Room", what a joke. Taking a step back in time to an all new level! Bring your own bed pan to complete the weekend ambiance.

We stayed at the Elms from 17 Feb to 25 Feb 2012. The Hosts (Tina and Raymond) were very nice and extremely helpful and obliging. Our room (The Willows) was quiet, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The breakfast was plentiful and a great variety of cereals and a selection of bread (for toast) as well... More

Friendly, comfortable & good location. We lost the cricket but didn't matter !

Accommodation and amenity: We stayed in the Hawthorn room which is on the first floor facing the street. The street noise is noticeable as the building location is on a hill and the street traffic is powering up the slope. I didn’t really find the noise an issue, despite being a fairly light sleeper. The view out the window over... More
