Top Franklin Hotel Reviews

Doctor Syntax Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay, great food and hospitality"

Islington Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I spent my anniversary here with my partner and we can’t recommend it enough. The places is absolutely stunning, THE ART is a AMAZING and the interior design is just perfect. We spent most of the time going around the hotel looking at all the amazing details they have all around. It is a small hotel but it feels grand. The staff and the owner make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. We got bubbles and some delicious treats as a welcome gift. Those little things really make a difference. Overall the whole experience is beautifully curated. Can’t wait to go back"

Marquis Hotel Motel

8/10 Good

"Good location, once you got use to the hill. Although it's a pub very little noise from the patrons. Great little grocery shop just around the corner."

Kingston Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very good"

Bay View Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful clean room with a great view overlooking Hobart. Easy secure parking. Kitchen was well appointed for in room cooking. Access to the CBD by foot is challenging but a bus stop a short walk from the resort is available. I will mention the bed is harder than I like but that’s a personal preference."

Clydesdale Manor

8/10 Good

"Very convenient location"
