Hotel vicini a Cascades Female Factory Historic Site a Hobart

My partner had arranged a birthday surprise for me with a stay at The Islington, a place I had eagerly anticipated due to its reputation for a relaxing environment and top-tier service. However, our initial encounter left much to be desired. When we buzzed the front gate intercom, we were met with an ungracious ”who are you” from the speaker – not the warm welcome we expected. Inside, we were confronted by the same discourteous individual who promptly requested our license and credit card information. For an establishment boasting a 5-star status, this was far from our expectations, making us feel uneasy and questioning our choice. The situation continued to disappoint when the same staff member gave us a brief tour before directing us to our room. Upon entering, we found a cheese platter wrapped in cling wrap and laminated signage marred by unsightly marks. At this point, my partner's frustration had reached its peak. He had paid well over a thousand dollars for our stay, and he believed that any other hotel in Hobart would have provided superior service at a lower cost. In an attempt to address our grievances, my partner sought out the same staff member but found him absent. Resorting to a phone call, he expressed his disappointment, but instead of an apology, he received a response that left much to be desired – an offer to leave, with the stipulation of contacting Luxury Escapes for a potential refund. The entire experience left us disillusioned and questioning the 5-star rating. Three stars at best, especially given the quality of service provided. While the grounds were indeed pleasant, the interior furnishings clashed with the building's heritage, giving the impression of hurried assembly from an IKEA catalog. In summary, I would caution anyone considering a stay here to think twice before investing their money in an experience that falls far short of the advertised luxury and service quality.

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.

Little bit dated. Booked through Qantas Hotels and somehow was upgraded. ( No requested room available? do not know.) Water shower deluge head is great. Plenty of towels washers etc. The body wash and shampoo bottles are squeeze to actuate, sounds simple doesn't it? Mattress very comfy. Pillow a little firm for me but I did have the choice of 5! You get a kettle and that's it. Fridge opens one way, cupboard door opens opposite way. Not user friendly. Mis mash of cups. No knife or fork. Had to book for a couple of nights the next week but was an extra 50 an night. Thought that was a bit unnecessary for a returning client booking the same room. We had two windy nights and the sliding door widows rattling was enough to keep you awake. Need to be wedged. Location to town. Excellent, walking distance.

The room was clean and as described. The location is fantastic, walking distance to everything. It's a bit tight with the two beds, but we weren't spending tons of time in the room anyway. The twin bed was not the most comfortable but the queen was better. It can get a bit loud when the bar has music playing. They tell you this up front so it was expected. You can hear people pretty clearly if you're in the right part of the building, but they shut down promptly at closing time, around 9 or 10pm, and then it gets very quiet. The staff is friendly. Check-in and check out were very easy.

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.

Great location in bush setting. All informatiin sent in email before stay was helpful, so access was easy. Self contained cabin,with all you need, included. Great for short, or longer stays. Not far from city centre

Questo appartamento è più simile a uno standard di un motel. Puoi lasciare la tua auto nel parcheggio e scendere a Salamanca per trovare cibo e negozi.

Il mio soggiorno era molto pulito, il letto molto comodo e il bagno senza spazi, anche una vista che potresti stare a ore di Hobart. Un negozio di comodità (vendita) è a soli 50 metri dalla strada e un lavastoviglie, se necessario. È abituato a camminare per Hobart CBD, ma se ti piace camminare non è male. Ho trovato questo hotel anche in una zona tranquilla della città.

Si trova in un quartiere tranquillissimo Battery point a 10 minuti dal porto e dal Salamanca market del sabato . Non può essere considerato un ostello perché ha più l’aspetto di una casa . Il proprietario sembra un po’ rude ma ti aiuta per qualsiasi cosa tu abbia bisogno. Frequentato da ragazzi , uomini e donne di una certa età (come me) e famiglie . La pulizia è i marchio di garanzia . E di Sto arrivando! L’esempio fa tanto e tutti lasciano tutto in ordine come fanno gli altri . Sono stata veramente bene

Had a recent stay for 3 nights and found it really enjoyable. After a little confusion with parking the car due to street it is located on being a bus thoroughfare, valet parking was prompt and we found we didn't need to get car out again. Great location in the centre of town and easy walking to everything Hobart has to offer. Rooms were very clean, although a little small, bathroom was a generous size although water did flood floor when showering. Did have to order another pillow as ones in room were rock hard. Breakfast was very yummy and buffet option that was offered had more than enough to satisfy. Gym was small with just enough equipment to do a workout. The Chocolate Hour was a bit of a letdown, not what we expected, but still another point of difference. All in all, a really nice stay and we'll certainly wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
