We stumbled upon this place when we arrived in Hobart without a booking and discovered that the town was almost fully booked out by the crew of a huge U.S. naval ship. It turned out to be a real find because of its great location in the centre of Battery Point.
The hotel is the local village pub for this area. The modern structure has a bar, TAB, and all the usual pub facilities. There are 10 rooms situated on the first floor (second floor in U.S. speak) with a separate entrance from the car park. A security system controls unauthorised entry. The rooms are strictly functional but are suitable if you plan to spend your day sightseeing. The beds have electric blankets and there was a room heater so the room provided a warm refuge at night. The ensuite bathroom had a shower, toilet and handbasin. Facilities were clean but a little worn.
Accommodation included a Continental breakfast in the downstairs restaurant. This was a help-yourself affair. A choice of cereals, fruit, juice, bread for toast, and tea and coffee was on offer. We were satisfied.
The location was excellent. Several interesting restaurants were in the surrounding area. We walked around admiring the Georgian architecture and the quaint streetscapes. We walked to Salamanca Place, the waterfront and the central city. We happily left the car in the hotel carpark. At A$85 for bed and breakfast it was good value.
