Location is great, staff was friendly. Unfortunately the room was seemingly not properly cleaned. The toilet bowl was filthy and the fridge had the previous tenants food leftovers in there still.

Great position near to Hobart. The large in room spa was a real treat and worked brilliantly. Very comfortable king size bed and all we could want for a comfortable stay. The kitchenette was very handy as well. All in all we had a very enjoyable time, thanks you.

Disappointed

We were disappointed with our stay. There was no room service provided, and only one room key was given for two guests, which was very inconvenient. Despite repeated requests, the owner was unresponsive. Additionally, we were not given fresh towels for three days. Overall, the service and hospitality were lacking.

Overall average

Waterfront hotel is a budget hotel, but our room was very small with an enormous bathroom suitable for the disabled. Over the 4 nights we stayed there, our room was not serviced and we had to request fresh towels daily. The fridge, microwave, tv and kettle were all plugged into one power board hanging from the ceiling, and if all appliances were being used at once, the power would cut out
