Lady Franklin Gallery Tours and Activities

Great location in proximity to the city, restaurants, and Hobart scenes. Clean and neat. Difficulties included having a view of another hotel/building from our room (perhaps this is not all rooms), no toilet/bathroom in lobby, and queues in the reception quite often (staff were kind and hospitable, but definitely took their time to answer people - we wanted efficiency).

As someone who stays in 5 star accommodation weekly.. sadly the hotel is looking and feeling very tired. For example; Coffee Machine Broken, Open the bar fridge everything falls out as the bar on the door....you guessed it... broken, TV remote - not working, furnishings... tired... the absolute bare minimum of in-room amenities supplied... the brand of those amenities the exact same as a middle tired hotel, no dental kit, comb, etc or any of the usual extra items that you expect in a 5-star hotel. On a positive note, the staff were friendly, and breakfast was tasty. The chain that owns the hotel needs to put some money into it so it can remain a top-tier hotel; otherwise, all of its business will wander a 5-minute walk to The Tasman.
