ibis Styles Hobart
Great hotel, fantastic views, great location and super close to everything we needed, we couldnt believe how little we paid for such a great hotel! Above all else the highlight was how good the lobby and common areas smelled!!!

The Tasman, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Hobart
Overall, the Tasman is a beautiful hotel. It is well-located with easy walkability to restaurants/shopping. However, as someone who is a loyal Marriott user, I was a bit disappointed with my overall experience - not only did it seem disorganized - ex. multiple charges were not posted to my account ...
