At first, can say that this is special place, very quiet and charmy. Especially, great lobby rooms where you can feel as at grandma's home. Attentive service, very good dining experience. Expensive, of course, but not so. There are some things to improve: 1) we got room number 1 - regency style, big, but the bathroom wasn't heated, so, it... More

Wow! This small hotel ticks all the boxes! Though about 2km from the city centre, it is very easy to drive around Hobart and being at the top of a hill, it provided a good walking workout to combat the effects of the sumptuous spreads consumed at the Islington. The rooms are spotless and beautifully appointed and we had fabulous... More

The Islington Hotel is worth the flight from Sydney to Hobart to relax & feel a world away in an instant. Incredible beds, sooo comfortable and huge! All mod cons for the discerning travelling - double showers, separate double baths in all private bedrooms. Concierge and guest services are to be commended for their attention to detail. Homemade mushroom soup... More

This hotel has everything - style, service and comfort. The owners have decorated it tastefully and eclectically and the feeling is that you are staying in the beautiful home of friends. The entire staff is extremely helpful and spent so much time making us feel comfortable and getting us oriented after a 24 hr journey from the US. Thomas, Francesco,... More

Our travel company in Hobart moved us there, thankfully, after not such a wonderful stay at another Hobart Hotel. We could not believe how beautiful this place is. From the welcome at the front door by charming Francesco to then be shown to a lovely room looking out onto a garden, and then followed by a delicious dinner with wonderful... More

Finally a beautiful, superbly run hotel in Hobart. It was a pleasure to stay at the Islington even for a quick overnight stay. The breakfast was delicious (home made baked beans to die for) and attentive but discrete service. The room was flawless. More

We have stayed at the Islington twice now, the first in February 2011 following a successful marriage proposal, and the second 12 months later to celebrate the anniversary of that day. Both times our experience was fantastic - attentive but unobtrusive staff, fantastic food hand-made just metres from the dining table, beautifully furnished and large rooms with all the conveniences...

We spotted a great deal with Flightcentre a few months before going to Tasmania. The Islington was doing a fab deal in their attic rooms. By the time we booked they had all gone, but they had Garden rooms available. Firstly you are about 20 mins uphill walk outside of Hobart CBD. Is this a problem? if you want to... More
