Disappointing overall - receptionist's welcome was poor, night duty manager similar, no written instructions as to how air con (heating function) was to operate, no answer on internal lines to ext. 9 or 210 (duty manager / porter) when called to attempting to operate air con, duty manager came after we attended reception and did fix the problem. Dirty (sticky)... More

We stayed at Rydges Hobart on a recent holiday to Tasmania. We received an upgrade to one of the "old" rooms which was very spacious, 4 poster "style" bed, large room and great faciliteies. If you are travelling inTasmania during winter months be prepared for a reduction in service as you will find the receptionist is also the dining room... More

I gave the attendant a nice smile, despite having had to cool my heals in reception waiting for her to turn up. And received a scowl for my trouble and a barked "Checking in or out!?" She then proceeeded to deal with a maintenance painter before returning her attention to me. Not a good start. Our room was located via... More

It 'really a huge apartment (2 rooms plus bathroom and kitchen). In the living room there is a foldaway bed in the wall. Close the bathroom door before opening the water to prevent the smoke detectors detect the steam of the shower. The curtains did not completely obscure. Internal parking. have the swimming pool and sauna and laundry with coin.

Well located with easy access to city and to North Hobart restaurant belt. Grand old building with modern blocks attached. I checked in late and was met at door, details from previous visit retained, very easy process. Only down side, would have been nice to have been offered the option to put in breakfast order at check in as by... More

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

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
