Location and getting around
Macquarie Street is one of the main streets of the city centre, and the hotel is placed so that you can reach the waterfront and the weekend market without a car. Salamanca Place and Salamanca Market are about three minutes away on foot, Brooke Street Pier, where the Mona ferry departs, is about seven, and Constitution Dock and Franklin Wharf are about ten. St Joseph's Church, Franklin Square and the Cat and Fiddle Arcade are all within about five minutes. Hobart International Airport is roughly a 19-minute drive.
The rooms and the feel
The hotel offers ten room types, which is unusual for a mid-range hotel and means you can choose the level that suits your budget. Compact rooms with a queen bed or twin beds are the best-value option, guest rooms come with a queen or a king bed, executive rooms have a king bed, and city view rooms come in queen and king versions.
For groups there is a guest twin room, a guest triple room and an interconnecting family room that sleeps four, which is handy for families who want two rooms side by side. Rooms have air conditioning, a safe, a refrigerator, an electric kettle and a flat screen television, and the hotel has a lift, laundry and dry cleaning, and luggage storage.
Food and facilities
The hotel does not have its own restaurant, but breakfast is available as a buffet for a fee, and there are cafes and bars within a couple of minutes' walk, including Leatherwood Bar and Kitchen. There is a gym, and the 24-hour front desk can help with tours and tickets. The hotel holds an energy sustainability certification, which matters to some travellers.
