The Art Hotel surprised us. It worked out well for our trip. It was next to the Catholic church, which was important for the lenten season and it surprised us. It was on a busy street, but very walkable, markets, the gorge, restaurants and downtown.
It has a short check-in time which surprised us too. There was a call number to get the key for our room. We had minimal interactions with the staff.

Just beautiful. The location is slightly outside the CBD so it's lovely and quiet but very walkable. And hoo-boy, it's SO pretty! Absolutely loved staying here and it will be our Launie hotel forever now

Very clean, lovely staff, central location.
From a female perspective more coat hangers and a shelf in the bathroom would be a good addition 😊

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.

This is a quirky hotel, I believe it used to be an old bakehouse. Definitely the sort of place I like to stay, but may not be for everyone. My ensuite was pretty narrow, however, it looked like it was in an old part of the original building. Staff very accommodating and friendly. Would stay again, thanks
