Sometimes when you find a good place, restaurants, bars and hotels, you want to keep that information to yourself and not get the place too busy that it ruins future chances of getting in. But if there were not enough people patronising the business, the business might cease to exist. Fountainside is a great hotel. It doesn't follow the saying,... more

Stayed 2 nights here, chose the Fountainside based on TripAdvisor reviews, and was very pleased. Friendly front desk staff, sizable room with sofa and desk, fridge, electric kettle, very comfortable. The most astounding thing is their prices for amenities are REASONABLE! Items in the mini-bar (sodas, beer, snacks) cost less than in a convenience store -- $1.50 for a can... more

Stayed 4 nights after reading reviews on Tripadvisor. The outside appearance of the hotel it must be said is not the most promising but inside (which is the important part!) is excellent. The rooms and bathrooms are of a very good standard and are spotlessly clean and comfortable.It is in a convenient location, with free parking facilities being a 5... more

This hotel was a surprise packet. It is conveniently located close Hobart's CBD and the wharf precinct. It was easy to walk to most attractions. It does have free parking if you've got a hire car as we did. The rooms have been recently refurbished and are very comfortable with a nice outlook over nearby parks with king beds,a/c, well... more

This place was exactly what we need for a couple of nghts stay. Walking distance to restuarants and bars, good value, clean and modern rooms. They only thing that detracted from the postive stay was the greeting we received when we arrived! Early flight in and thought we'd ask if we could dump our bags and come back later to... more

Just returned from our holiday in Australia and stay at the fountainside for 4 nights. There really is nothing even remotely negative to stay about this hotel. Perfectly located in Hobart, close enough between North Hobart (Great Restaurants and nightlife) and Harbour that you can walk to both. Also just off the major highways to make day trips easy. We... more

We spent just one night at The Fountainside Hotel and were very impressed with it in every way - position (you could walk to the waterfront), views, room (we were on the top floor) and super friendly helpful service and fantastic breakfast! The mini bar is excellent at shop prices, beautiful bathroom and very comfortable bed. Open 24 hours and... more

We booked on line with this hotel and was shocked! The place was Awesome! Over the past three years, we've stayed at plenty of Australian hotels and have been more unhappy with the ratings and price - but NOT this place! The price was great, the location was perfect, the rooms were fantastic.....we had booked the room for our first... more

What a find!

We really felt like we hit the jackpot - great hotel, great value, great service, great food. Its an easy walk of two blocks to marina area, three bocks walk to shopping area. Don't be fooled by the outside - inside is great. Fantastic size rooms with good size modern bathrooms and all the comforts of home. Would not hesitate... more
