The room was spacious, the sheets were clean (comforting faint smell of bleach) and the bed was very comfy. That is all the pros. Everything was pretty drab, worn, faded... We weren't in the main building and it felt like we were living in a cheap dodgy apartment block (the neighbours smoking outside the room in their pyjamas added to... More

For my mothers birthday I wanted to treat her to High Tea. The experience we had at Rydges was nothing short of outstanding. The food was delicious, scones just out of the oven, a delicious creme brûlée, a chocolate mousse encased in a chocolate base was just to die for, as well as many other extraordinary treats. The service was... More

Buildings and grounds were fine, however our room - twin beds with lounge area - dirty, old and disappointing. Old furnishings, cracked and worn bathroom and kitchen area, dusty carpet & furniture and toilet smell throughout. Didn't even have a couch in lounge area - only 2 old chairs!!! Breakfast (incl. in price) was very average. Some staff were friendly... More

Really really really bad old mattresses. It's like you are sleeping on a ski slope. The room was BIG (twin superior) but the TV was in a separate space and couldn't be watched whilst in bed (isn't that one of the luxuries of staying in a hotel?). There was a pull down extra bed in the 'tv room'. I've never... More

While the suite was spacious, we had booked an antique room and expected far more than the tatty mismatched furniture that was presented. The TV room was particularly shabby and in desperate need of an overhaul. The kitchen was very dated, and overall clean, however it would seem that the area behind the microwave had not been wiped for months.... More

This establishment has spacious rooms, food is good and service is always friendly. I have stayed here a few times whenever I am in Hobart for business. When I have taken my wife with me, she has always commented on how well presented the rooms are and the food is always excellent

After reading quite a few negative reviews, we were a bit hesitant about coming here, so thought we'd ask to check the rooms out before making a booking. The staff were more than helpful & even offered to upgrade if we wanted to. We were pleasantly surprised - yes the rooms are old, but it is a heritage listed building!... More

Nth Hobart is a lovely area, nice restaurants and 25 min walk to the city. The hotel is beautiful from the outside but the rooms are dated. Our room was near the car park and it was very noisey. The gym only has one treadmill, stepper and bike.

First off, it's a very nice bed. Most comfortable bed amongst the many hotels I have spent my nights in. Very large rooms (we stayed in a Manor King room), but apart from the very nice king sized bed (which was effectively two single beds put together), there was nothing else to shout about. As with the other reviews, carpets... More
