You can reach the main city attractions and restaurants on foot, so it is recommended for regular tourists. The room facilities are simple but sufficient, making it very worthwhile at this price.

Room was clean and had what we needed. Checking in after reception had closed was simple and easy. Glad we arrived in time to access a car park on the premises, would've stressed if all the parks were full as only limited on-site parking.

The premises looked very unloved with torn carpet on the stairs one of the first things you see. Every step had badly torn carpet. The walls were marked everywhere and the noise levels of slamming doors was consistent throughout the night. We booked here as a last resort 3 days before we needed somewhere to stay in Hobart. Next time this happens, we will pay the extra $$ rather than stay at Blue Hills. We stayed there around 20 years ago and had good memories of it then. Those good memories have now been erased!!

The place is being done up, it's a work in progress. It's secure and comfy enough. Some spray and wipe, and a shower curtain wouldn't hurt.

It served its purpose; however, it was very unclean. The sheets were clean though. Also, during the night it was very noisy. A vacuum cleaner going late in the evening. They were NOT vacuuming our room.

It was cheap, but it needs work done on it. My room door was hanging off one hinge, and the door handle on an external door came off in my hand. Basic facilities (no microwave) but comfortable enough bed for me and well located

Bio hazard alert

I have to say this is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. It is a bio-hazard waiting to happen. The filth was astounding. Even if a room is cheap it should be clean. Blood on wall tiles in bathroom, toothpaste over taps, smears of who knows what and hair over shower walls. Brown smears on side table and bed head,dirt and grime in floors. Window broken so didn't shut properly. Room was freezing and no electric blanket or additional blankets. Disgusting and would not ever recommend ! Have countless photos but they wouldn't upload
