Location was good, walkable to dining areas and water front. Room was run down, carpet threadbare, tap loose in bathroom and tap handle fell off on the hot water tap in shower. Nail strip to hold carpet down was bare and was covered by using a towel. The sliding door to bathroom falls off if you pull it on an angle. No flywire on windows. Fridge had every shelf broken and had solid ice on the element. Luckily we didnt need to use it. Broken tiles in shower with no screen so water covered half the bathroom floor. Beds were comfortable and linen clean

TERRIBLE. DON'T STAY THERE. It is VERY dirty. It is VERY old. No maintenance has been done for years! Front and back door are never locked. Hard to get parking. Front office staff are hardly there. The bathroom is NOT as shown in the booking photos. The bathroom is dirty and small and for 2 days we had a 'waterfall' pouring down the wall and all over the basin when someone showered upstairs - disgusting!

Needs urgent maintenance.

You get what you pay for...So I suggest you pay extra and stay somewhere else! The reception guy was helpful and friendly but that's where the positive ended. The room was grubby with dust on all surfaces. Fluff and hair on the floor, toilet seat broken (surely the cleaner, if it's cleaned, would see this). Cupboard doors latches broken. Even the one and only bedside light didn't work! The bed linen was fresh and clean but the bed was hard and lumpy so moved to the small single bed in the room which was marginally better. All in all this place needs urgent basic maintenance and a good clean.

The room was clean. Shower didn't have a screen so water went further than it should have. Didn't see the manager at all, but we had no hassles checking in or out. The yard out the front was rather overgrown and needed attention.

The position of the property was excellent.Of course the property being long established did not have a lift and I was on the top floor so many steps had to be climbed.Luckily I did not have very heavy luggage.Because the property is in the more established category it would probably do with a makeover but my room was spacious and clean and the bed linen and towels were clean too so although my stay was just one night it was comfortable.

Easy parking at the back of the property, no air conditioning but fan is provided. Shower tap is an issue for hot and cold water. Overall, it is a reasonable place to stay.

This is the third time that I have stayed at this property. My room had been recently updated and was small but adequate. It had a double bed and a single bed in it, and everything that I needed. This motel is conveniently located within walking distance of Salamanca and Sandy Bay in Hobart. I am happy to recommend it, particularly for overnight accommodation.

Bang average, needs a proper clean.

This was a basic motel, close to the centre. It really was bang average but needs a refurb. Our room was covered in black hair when we arrived and cup ring stains on surfaces. The entire place needs a Serious clean. It’s location is great and the staff are lovely but if you’re precious about cleanliness I wouldn’t stay here.

The location is excellent, views from the balcony are great. The showers were appalling, carpets were a trip hazard, building old and dilapidated, recommend bringing your own pillow.
