Mövenpick Hotel Hobart
The room was very clean, we were upgraded to a harbour view with a nice outlook. The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfasts and dinner at the hotel restaurant, Tesoro, was excellent. Location was fantastic, near the piers, Salamanca, city, and ferry and bus services.

ibis Styles Hobart
Clean room, kind staff but there was a few pieces of gym equipment that weren’t working (peloton bike and cross trainer) which we were looking forward to using.
