Hobart Hotels with Airport pickup service

Hobart City Apartments is located right in the downtown shopping district of the city. You don't stay there for the view, but you are in the thick of things and still only a 12 minute walk to the harbor for endless choices of restaurants, bars, cafes, etc. With notice and availability, they offer underground parking for $20.00 a night. Otherwise, there is night street parking and a couple of lots close by. Though this review focusses specifically on the 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom penthouse apartment where we spent 6 nights, 3 of us first spent 1 night in two large single rooms, while awaiting availability of the Penthouse apartment. Each large room included a king bed, with end tables and lamps, a wall mounted TV, and a seating area, plus a good sized bathroom with large walk in shower. These 1 bedroom units include a small kitchen with a mini fridge, and stove top, microwave and dishwasher. Suffice to say that both the single units and the Penthouse we stayed in, are beautifully and relatively recently decorated, and very comfortable. The Penthouse apartments are large and feel quite new, like the single units. Similarly they are well appointed, and nicely decorated, with lots of light. The upstairs consists of one bedroom, with a king bed, end tables, table lamps and a wall mounted TV, plus an ensuite bathroom. The bedroom space is tight which of course, can't be helped, and so there's minimal drawer storage though enough if you plan it out well. There's a wide, deep ledge in front of the window, so one of us used that to lay out clothes, and toiletries, while the other used the shelves in the closet and though we needed more hangers, there was enough hanging space for 2 of us. The suites are relatively new so having what felt like new bathrooms was a bonus. The upstairs bathroom has no counter space but under counter storage, a large shower and it's well designed. There is no door at the top of the stairs into that bedroom/bathroom, so if privacy is an issue, be prepared. The main floor houses a small kitchen, with a microwave, full fridge and stove, flat cooktop, plus dishwasher and just enough plates, cups, glasses and utensils to get by. Don't plan on cooking a big meal though. It's best for breakfast, and serving up take-away. The adjacent living space had a large, 'pleather' (ie: looks like but isn't leather) couch and matching chair and the flat screen TV is mounted on the wall beneath a media unit, and across from the couch so it's a pleasant place to sit. Behind the occasional chair, is a small dining table, seating 6, then a sliding door, and screen out to a large but unfurnished patio. It would be nice to offer up 4 outdoor chairs and a couple of small side tables to enjoy a cocktail. The 2nd bedroom on the main floor, is larger than the upstairs, and houses a Queen size bed, end tables, with lights, and a closet. There is no TV in that room; something else they should add. The 2nd, large bathroom is across f

Facilities: Very convenient, 5 minutes' drive from the airport. It's okay to walk, it takes more than 20 minutes... but it's a dirt road, so it's best not to walk on it. There's not even a light at night, and the road at Hobart Airport is under construction (it's been under construction for 5 years and it hasn't been repaired yet). Service: Many hotel front desks in Australia are not open 24 hours a day. After the front desk closed, the keys were placed in the mailbox. There are cameras. Just get your own key. Health: Complete facilities, RV base. There is also a clothes drying rack at the door to dry clothes.

We loved our night here. The rooms were spotless and spacious and had everything we needed for a great stay. My husband got talking fishing to Guy (the owner) and got some very helpful information about where to fish, unfortunately they weren't biting (or that's what my husband is saying anyway). We found it to be a very relaxing spot and the attention to detail that the owners put in is second to none, like the home-made chocolates and the slippers and coffee pods etc. The location is great too if you are intending to catch the ferry over to Bruny Island as it's only a couple of minutes away. It's a fabulous place to stay and would highly recommend to anyone.
