Myself and 3 of my friend from Launceston travelled down to Hobart (child free) and stayed at the Somerset on Salamanca.

I knew about the building site blocking out most of the Harbour views but didn't expect an old fashioned box TV especially as I wanted to watch the last three nights of the Australian Open tennis. After a phone call to the office the management quickly obliged in finding a decent flat screen TV, one of which is due to... More

this was the second time we have stayed at Somerset on Salamanca. It has a very convenient location, just about 50 metres from Salamanca markets, but it's far enough away to miss a lot of the noise that would be associated with such a location. The construction across the road (harbourside) has been mentioned elsewhere, they start at 7 six... More

Dear Happyvisitor01 Thanks very much for the feedback and we were glad to see you enjoyed your stay. Unfortunely we do have construction across the road from us and this has now obscured the water view we had. Prior to that we used to be blocked by an old dirty pier shed so at least the new building will be... More

What a top spot. Great restaurants at the doorstep for lunch and dinner, and 5 mins to best bakery in Hobart at battery point. Great views.... The workman didn't bother us as we were out and about. When I needed milk someone was there within 5 mins. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful.

2 nights with 3 of us in a 2 bedroom apartment over Saturday and Sunday at premium rates was an unremarkable stay. Apartments are close to Salamanca which is an interesting part of Hobart but frequented at night by the lager louts lurching around the outside bars who can be a bit tiring and obnoxious. As others have pointed out,... More

I Have stayed on a regular basis for work. The location is great right in Salamanca with all the restaurants. At the moment the view is great but they are building on front so won't be for long. The draw backs are the noise from the building, old style TVs and the beds that are two singles pushed together. Because... More
