“Home on the Pier”

Reviewed May 21, 2013 NEW

I go to Hobart for business but having apartment living on the Pier sure is a great way to finish a days work. The apartments are 2 story, very comfortable and well set up with great views of the water, yachts and Salamanca wharf. Plenty of great venues for drinks and dining on the Pier and also at historical Salamanca... More

“Fabulous views”

I've often glanced longingly up at these apartments and wondered what they were like. I finally stayed there last Saturday night with three friends and have to say that it was quite wonderful. We were in the two bedroom apartment and it was a good size for us, with the downstairs bathroom particularly generous. The beds were comfortable and the... More

“Location and views for a weekend escape.”

Reviewed May 11, 2013

A central loft apartment was a delightful, relaxing time to escape the rat race. The nearby cafes. restaurants and interesting walks, coupled with good weather made wandering a Hobart a joy. The Hotel itself was older and the bathroom showed its age. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The apartment services made it convenient to eat in and watch the... More

“Nice Room & Great View of Waterfront in the Prime Location!”

Reviewed April 30, 2013

I guess, this Somerset Hotel locates at the best location in Hobart, right at the waterfront and in the hotels, there are few restaurant options such as simple seafood menu on the terrace, chinese food and cafe etc. The hotel looks nice with beautiful view of the waterfront. The bedroom area is on the upper floor while the living room... More

“Great location for these apartments”

Reviewed April 28, 2013

But one should be aware that Somerset on the Pier is not a hotel but apartments that offer good, comfortable accommodation in an excellent location. The motel style liquid soaps/shampoo in the bathroom were disappointing but staff provided conditioner when requested so.... We had a Premier room with a balcony and as we stayed on Sunday and Monday nights -... More

The good points of our stay: Location - close to Salamanca Place/Marke, walking distance to city centre and right on the water. Check in - friendly and efficient although other front desk staff we encountered during our stay where not as friendly Living area... More

“why ruthie?”

Reviewed April 22, 2013

this is not a review but I was looking at somerset to send a friend for her birthday. Over 50% of the reviews I read complain of the noise from other rooms,and then I read the manager thanking people for their stay but ignoring the noise complaint? Ruthie could you tell me if you plan on fixing this non-stop complaint?... More

Hi Jordan, Being positioned on the Elizabeth Street Pier provides for Somerset on the Pier to have one of the most unique locations and experiences in Hobart. Whilst Somerset on the Pier is generally a quiet location, we do sometimes experience noise issues because of this location, we have trialed different methods to reduce the noise from the thoroughfares but...

“A little lacking...”

Reviewed April 20, 2013

I think the best selling point about this place is it's location. Right on the water, close to Salamanca Square...but other than that, it's not great for executives. Gripes: 1. Booked a duplex room for three people, wifi only allows 2 devices to be connected at once 2. Drycleaning went MIA - not entirely sure where my suit disappeared to... More

“2min walk to Salamanca, but extremely NOISY!”

Reviewed April 18, 2013

20min taxi ride from airport. 5min walk to Salamanca Square. Close proximity to the seafood restaurants, fish and chips stands, and most importantly Salamanca Square is a key consideration. The room we booked does not include breakfast, but comes with free Internet concurrent access for two devices (each with 1GB download per day). We have an Executive Room facing the... More
