    Beautiful art deco style hotel in the heart of Hobart. Everything was exceptional and luxurious. Room was good size with very comfortable bed and beautiful bedlinen. We loved the air-conditioning and big screen TV and harbour views. The interior design was outstanding with great attention to detail. The Peppina restaurant and Mary Mary bar were absolutely fabulous in terms of food and beverages menu and also interior design with lovely ambience and excellent customer service by staff.

    Perfect location for travelling to the Salamanca Market where I was running a stall. Very comfortable and cosy rooms, I almost forgot it was winter outside. The private street access was prefect for a lone traveller. Staff were brilliant and so helpful when I needed to leave some baggage, even after check out. Hotel has lovely interior design, rooms are simple but luxurious and have ample plugs for charging phones etc. Hairdryer, ironing board etc all included in each room was very handy.
