Beautiful heritage building in the heart of Hobart with walkable access to the city and nearby restaurants. I stayed after a hiking trip for the jet bath and will absolutely do so again. A good mix of short and long staying guests who often gather in the communal areas for a chat.

Older building with character. A bit loud with our room above both reception and facing out into an active courtyard on a night when sleep was critical. Any other night we wouldn't have minded. Very comfortable bed. Nice staff. Thank you for the onsite parking and free room upgrade.

What a cute hotel in this historic bakery! And so close to the waterfront and parks. Delightful one night stay here with a comfortable bed and charming room. Though the room was a bit small, it was workable during our short visit. It was also great to have onsite parking.
