On a recent visit to Hobart, had the good fortune to visit. Meals were excellent, staff friendly and attentive and also great value. So impressed that we went back a second night. Certainly worth considering.

On the 20th my partner and I went to the Prince of Wales for dinner. We've loved this place for a long time, and go there semi-regularly. We got there before they started serving people in the restaurant, so asked if we could sit there until the time came to take our order. We were then promptly forgotten about. The... More

Good atmosphere in the bar and everyone is friendly. Food in the bistro is much better than you would expect from a pub. Huge Tassie salmon steak with mango salsa - delicious. Prices are reasonable so it's great value. I have never taken a room in the hotel so don't know about the quality. Battery Point is a great area.

This pub has tasty pub food with generous portions and reasonable prices. The beef and bacon rissoles are scrumptious and only $15 mon to thurs. I haven't actually stayed at the accommodation so can only comment on the food.

Airconditioner broken, we asked for a heater and was given a small dusty blow heater. Kettle was dirty, looked like someone may have tried to poach an egg in it! Manager looked but could not find a replacement. He was very apologetic and offered hot water from coffee machine at the bar.

We stayed one night at the Prince of Wales hotel in two interconnected hotel rooms. The area (Battery Point) is brilliant, especially with kids. So close to Salamanca for the markets, and there is a gorgeous park with a big playground just down the road. Lots of food options in easy walking distance, and main shops about a kilometre down...

What great value this hotel is for Battery Point. Awesome steak and beer deal for only $15 pp and Accomodation in the best suburb in Hobart for only $75 pp. You can't beat this place for value.

The Prince of Wales Hotel is located in a quiet residential area, a short walk from Salamanca Square and a longer walk to the harbour and the centre of Hobart. The rooms are on the first floor above a pub, with limited parking at the rear. Check-in is at the bar and service here was adequate, but nothing special. At... More

My lamb shank was served cold and when sent back to the kitchen I was told they'd microwave it to heat it up! It came back lukewarm with gristle and bone I'd moved to the side of my plate mixed back into the sauce. My partner's fish was basically raw so it also was sent back. It returned overcooked at...

We chose this particular hotel simply due to it;s great location. The hotel was situated just a short albeit a steep walk to Salamanca and the Saturday markets. There are plenty of little cafe's in the street nearby as well. The car park is cramped, and if they have a function on in the bar or restaurant, you may not... More
