My wife and I stayed three nights in this hotel. We were greeted by the very nice receptionist who informed us of their restaurant that would be open for breaskfast and dinner. The rooms were large and well appointed. Kingsize beds were a bit of bother as my wife seemed to be miles away, and the sheets were so crisp... More

It was a little difficult finding a hotel in Hobart that had good reviews and also offered a good price. I settled on this hotel due to the good reviews and managed to get a good price on the hotel website. I was a little concerned when I got to the hotel as it was peak time and my room... More

We stayed at this hotel for a long weekend. Although this hotel doesn't look like much from the outside the rooms are actually quite surprising, very comfortable and clean. The mini bar is very reasonably priced, I think this trip has been the only time I've ever purchased anything from a mini bar! The hotel is within walking distance to... More

We often visit our daughter and grand-daughter in Hobart and generally try to get something fairly close to the CBD or around Salamanca rather than impose on family. A last minute decision to stay another night saw us using TripAdvisor to find a suitable accommodation alternative to what we normally use and up popped very positive reviews of the Fountainside...

My hubby and I have just spent 5 nights at Fountainside and would highly recommend this hotel to visitors to Hobart. The rooms are clean and have ample space for moving around in. Staff are very friendly and helpful. You are five minutes walk from either the town centre or the waterfront. All in all it was the ideal place... More

Deserves the trip advisor rating. Lovely staff,room and location, and the best value mini bar this side of Timbuktu. It's great value. Perfect for all Hobart sights. 7th floor king room. Nice views. Lift is not rickety. Very clean. Good Tele and bathroom.

Parking was good, foyer simple and functional and the rooms just basic and clean. A few doors away from the hospital, supermarket and restaurants too. Salamanca market is quite an easy walk but can be tiring if you have plenty of shopping. Seems like a stop for big bus tours and groups, but the place is really quiet. Recommendable for... More

Great value and good proximity to central Hobart and waterfront. We had one night in a standard room on the third floor and 1 night in a superior room on the 7th floor. Our son spent 2 nights in a room on the 6th. All three rooms were identical in size and layout however from the room on the third... More
