Hotel a Blackmans Bay, Australia

Positives: Beautiful building in a lovely quiet location Large, spacious and clean room and bathroom If any issues are raised, they are dealt with very apologetically Grateful for a packed breakfast on the last morning, as we were leaving before anyone arrived for the day Appeared very clean and tidy throughout with a French-style decor About 15-20 easy drive from Hobart Negatives: Room was not as stunning as the pictures suggest - pretty, but not 'wow' We had no curtains on 4 windows - the main front light shone into the room and if you were in the shower, the room opposite had a free show! No lifts and precarious staircases No-one to help with luggage Super small TV that was not much bigger than my laptop screen! Hard to get someone to answer the phone at reception - either before arrival or when you are staying There is no aircon - it did not bother us as it was winter, but worth noting if visiting in summer The main part of the building is freezing cold - the staff were wearing overcoats to serve, which did not look professional at all, but completely understood why they did as it was less than 10 degrees in the restaurant area Breakfast was stone cold and had to be sent back (only 3 other people staying, so not busy) Breakfast included baked beans but we were given a serving of just 9 baked beans.... There are just 2 young Asian girls running the 'hotel' - they work crazy hours and seem to do everything from check-in, to waitressing, cooking and possibly make the rooms up too!! The 'hotel' main door is locked at 9.30pm and we were essentially left alone in the building all night Key information not provided on check-in - ie breakfast runs from 7.45am to 9.15am only or info on wi-fi We don't recall any fire evacuation details in the room (but maybe we missed it?). We could not find any emergency contact details either in the room if something happened at night We had to remind the staff we had a Luxury Escapes package to get the basket of produce and a free drink AND..... think about bringing your own towels! They have a policy of charging $50 if you get any make-up on the white towels!! Fortunately we saw this and used the make-up remover they had in the bathroom but we were so paranoid of getting any marks on anything!!! We suggest they have darker coloured towels because we felt this was a ridiculous rule when you pay so much to stay in the first place. Would we stay again? No. We left feeling stressed and not at all relaxed, It is not a 5 star location at all - just a lovely 'home' that is more akin to a boutique B&B. We considered eating dinner but with just 3 mains to choose from, we couldn't justify the cost at all. Overall, the villa needs some maintenance and with the 2 young girls run off their feet, we're not sure how this will ever be done. It could be so much better. We were slightly disappointed as this had been a weekend to celebrate my husband's birthday!

La camera di base, ma molto pulita e ben progettata. Molto vicino a tutte le strutture della cbd, Uber food è stato in grado di trovarci rapidamente e senza problemi, anche l'istituto è molto tranquillo di una notte. Il letto era confortevole e c'era Wi-Fi gratuito, per $85 per notte, così vicino a tutto e presentato in questo modo, mi consiglierei felicemente a chiunque conosca e resterà ancora quando siamo ancora giù. L'unica raccomandazione che ho per i proprietari/amministratori è che il cubico di doccia è molto piccolo e sono un grande e grande costruito, quindi andare in giro per la doccia è stato un po' duro, ma altrimenti è così. Grazie per il buon soggiorno, il mio partner e io vi rivedremo al nostro prossimo soggiorno. 👍

I am very disappointed as I thought I booked a room in Wrest Point but instead it was in adjacent property called Motor Inn. I felt that I have been cheated as the picture in the booking details showed me Wrest point Towel and not Motor Inn. I thought the room was called Motor Inn as I have not been there to know the existence of Motor Inn. When I queried about it, they said it was the agent's (trip.com) fault . To move to the main tower will cost me an extra of $80. I felt I have been conned and they should have placed the Motor Inn building photo instead of the tower of Wrest Point in their website for booking. (It is deceptive marketing - show you a ferrari for sale and got a lemon after you have paid for it) Motor Inn is an old building and does not have lifts to the room we were allocated and being retirees , we have to carry our bags up to 2 flights of stairs. On top of that, the room walls were not sound proof and you can hear every customer slamming their doors and flushing their toilets. I thought we have booked the room with the sea view instead there were only bushes as a window view. It was so embarrassing when I thought I could request for a room on a higher floor in wrest tower for good views but instead shown out of the door to an old adjacent building call Motor Inn. In all its websites and advertising, there is not 1 photo to show Motor Inn as Wrest Point . It has always being the tower used to promote the sale of their rooms. The Bistro food is poor quality and costly. We order from the caviary and the food came out to be cold and dry. We wanted to try the other 2 restaurants Kwan Ho and the one on the 17 th floor in the main tower but were told they were close. I thought being a top notch hotel, their restaurant will be open 7 days instead they are closed 2 days.( sun and mon). - the days we were there sat,sun,mon) They have a fantastic location but sad to say they don't have the marks of a 5 star hotel. The first picture is what I thought I booked but the second picture is actually what I got. The 3rd picture is what is in the website for booking and the last picture is what you get.

The Bay Apartments are a good value but simple place to stay in Hobart. We stayed here for 1 night this week, in a 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment was clean but small. It had an overpowering smell of cleaning products when we arrived but this dispersed during our stay. The bathroom is a traditional shower-over-bath, and there is a small living area and flat screen TV. There is a small cooktop and sink, and a bar fridge. The apartments are a short walk to a large range of restaurants, a Woolworths and a Cole. There is also a pub (almost) next door. It is a short drive to Hobart CBD and there are public buses out the front. We were apprehensive at first as it was quite noisy (noise from other guests and from the road), but this didn’t affect our sleep quality. There is parking outside the unit and one reverse cycle aircon unit in the living area. Don’t expect a fancy property- this is a basic but well presented unit at an affordable price point, not a $300/nt property. If you set your expectations correctly this is a very good property. The stairways to the upstairs appartments are very narrow and it is difficult to carry large cases up and down. I’d stay here again if looking for a basic stay in Hobart, but probably not for multiple nights.

I stayed here briefly (plumbing problem at home) so cannot comment on sleep quality. I had room 23, which was tiny (it was advertised as small) and had a double bed. Bed linen was clean and appeared to be good quality. Towels on the bed were folded in a most bizarre way, and they appeared to have been thrown down and crumpled, but were meant to actually look like that (reminded me of a sea creature.) The room was clean, as was the bathroom, with the exception of the entire floor of the shower bay, which was a yellow/tan colour. Maybe it was clean, but if it was, then it was obviously stained and really needs replacing. It was extremely off putting. Walls are thin and I heard the person in the next room showering. The male at Reception was quite dour. I did not have to stay the night as my water problem was rectified so I went home. Good value, but I would not stay here again. The room smelt of cigarette smoke, even though the property is non smoking.

Siamo rimasti al quinto piano, davanti alla strada principale, ma la stanza era molto tranquilla, senza nulla di rumore da traffico o camere adiacenti. Se hai pagato per colazione, includeva sia cibo continentale che cibo caldo con una vasta selezione per soddisfare tutti i requisiti alimentari. Il ristorante è specializzato in cibi asiatici. Il pollo e il potato curry del capitano erano un favorito. Le camere erano pulite e 100% funzionali, in quanto in ogni camera è lasciato un feedback di manutenzione. Le tende di smarrimento hanno fermato tutta la luce per coloro che amano dormire o superare la decelerazione del jet. La sicurezza è stata migliorata con l'accesso alla carta di camera agli ascensori. È stato un cammino a 10 minuti a piedi, a 3 minuti a piedi alla fermata Skybus e a 5 minuti a piedi alla fermata Hop-on-hop-off. Buono valore e raccomandato.

We booked this hotel for its location. You can easily walk to Battery Point, Salamanca …etc. The room needs some upgrading as it seems dated. Housekeeping cleared our rubbish the first day but did not on the 2nd. Overall, it was was a wonderful stay.

Il prezzo è alto, camminare nel ristorante e nel supermercato della zona Hobottwart, la vista è aperta e il tetto ha un grande balcone all'aperto.

Aveva un soggiorno di due notti, un personale di ricezione estremamente obbligatorio, arrivato prima di quanto previsto, ma poteva permettere un check-in precoce. Apprezzato con il clima estremamente freddo. La stanza era senza spot, letti confortevoli. Una grande scelta di Café vicino per un caffè e un snack. Molti posti vicino le opzioni di cena. Un posto per ricordare il mio prossimo viaggio a Hobart. Sarà un viaggiatore di ritorno a Mayfair ogni volta a Hobart.

Abbiamo prenotato e siamo stati sorpresi perché nessuna foto mostrava chiaramente l'esterno del motel, la principale foto è del sito storico di Port Arthur. Siamo arrivati tardi, quindi abbiamo lasciato le chiavi per noi. Alcuni miglioramenti sarebbero buoni, ma la risposta del personale era tempestiva, amichevole e precisa. Abbiamo avuto tre camere, tutti erano felici, era un posto dove andare a letto le nostre teste per la nostra notte scorsa prima di volare a casa.
