Hillview House

A basic B&B. Had everything it said in the description. No extras like in a lot of B&Bs. As pretty common around Tasmania, we couldn't link up to the router for the WiFi. Then got the WiFi in the morning as we were leaving. Lucky our phone had Mobile data. Small TV but adequate. A long way up a steep hill but lucky to find 2 1/2 blocks downhill a great restaurant on George Street. Was surprised to find the continental breakfast with fresh fruit salad and yogurt. Only orange juice on offer, but this was fine. Plain but filling breakfast. Friendly hostess.

The location was convenient for us. The room was looking tired and in need of redecorating. It was a cold winters afternoon and the room was not pre warmed so it was very cold and the heating was inadequate. The bed was too firm but warm enough. Service on arrival was good.

It was OK but very overpriced compared to the 2 other places we stayed in on this trip. The room was very small and we had trouble finding a place to put our cases. The bed was comfortable and the shower was quite good. The continental breakfast was nice and served in a very pleasant little breakfast room. The position of the hotel was very good and close to the city centre. Car parking was limited and one night we had to park in the street.

I had booked here for two nights but could not stay, I had gone out for dinner as soon as I arrived on my return noticed a damp stale smell in the room, on looking properly I found the quilt cover was stale The curtains were dirty and damp smelling The blinds were broken and dirty That headboard of the bed had at lest six months worth of dust The shower unit was disgusting On trying to find owners they were no where be ffound I therefore left a letter and moved else where

Has a lot of character, comfortable bed and clean rooms. Breakfast was good with a nice view
