From the moment of booking, this was one of the most wonderfully effortless experiences we have encountered. Unpretentious and attentive staff were welcoming, our evening meal was superb, and the hotel is stunning in every way.

We stayed at the Islington based on their very impressive Tripadvisor ranking, regularly in the top five 5 star hotels in the country. We had a fabulous experience with Claire and Gabriela making us feel very much at home and very well taken care of. Nothing was too much trouble and little details like the tea my wife preferred at breakfast quickly translated to additional teas in our suite that werent their before - very impressive. The view from the suite was fabulous, as was the public areas and both breakfast and dinner. I cant recommend them highly enough.

On our travels we have stayed at properties claiming to be 'boutique hotels' but mostly they were far from the mark. For our trip to Hobart we booked a four night stay at the Islington Hotel and were not disappointed; the 'boutique hotel' label is defined by hotels like the Islington. On arrival we were greeted by Claire and provided a personalised check in experience, our garden suite looking out to Mt Wellington was a generously sized room, well suited for the duration of our stay. We must commend Claire, Gabriela and Maria on the warm, personal service we received, and being personally greeted each morning was truly appreciated. The hotel is a few minutes drive from the CBD but in the southern end of Davey Street which is much quieter, and traffic noise never intruded on our stay. Breakfast each morning came with our room, and the conservatory looks out onto Mt Wellington, a great view to start the day with exceptionally good breakfast fare. Highly recommended, we will most certainly return on our next trip to Hobart.…

I dealt with Claire and Gabriela several times while making a large group booking for July 2021. They were both always so friendly, professional and helpful. We were a group of 22 coming down from Melbourne for 3 nights and had booked out the entire hotel as well as organised dinner for the Friday night in the hotel, and in the last few days unfortunately we were all unable to go due to Covid-19 lockdowns. We had paid a substantial amount deposit (50% of the entire booking). The hotel came back to us and initially offered half of the 50% deposit as a refund and the other half as credit, which I thought was very generous as they only had to give us a credit. A week later, they actually offered the entire amount we paid back which I was so pleasantly surprised at. The hotel lost their entire booking for the weekend we were supposed to be there, yet still offered us all money back. That is impeccable service. I cant speak highly enough of the staff, management and Hotel, and would recommend it to anyone. We cant wait to get down to Hobart to stay there.…

My wife and I stayed here on the final leg of our Tasmanian holiday. This is a beautiful hotel nestled away in South Hobart. Understated from the outside but simply sumptuous from the inside. The service was excellent. The two ladies who looked after us couldnt do more. In fact I read in one review here that a 76 year old was made to carry luggage up the stairs to the room. I was not allowed to touch our luggage and the ladies insisted on transporting two large suitcases to our room. The garden room we had was simply very comfortable and grand. My only crticism is that the restaurant was not open. On a wet and windy day like the one we experiences staying would have been a great option. That said that upper management decided to close the restaurant for the season because of lack of custom. That could be the summary of the whole of Tasmania. The government ads say come visit in the off season. The shops and restaurants seem to be closed till Thursday. Nevetheless a beautiful isle. The only reason for a 4 star rating is the lack of an open restaurant.…
