I was visiting some friends on the mainland and wanted to spend a few days visiting a part of Australia I haven't been to before. I took the airport shuttle to the Prince of Wales. Be forewarned--if you arrive in Hobart during the evening rush hour--be prepared to spend a good hour or so working your way to your hotel... more

I stayed here for 2 nights in May 2009. As others have said, it has a fabulous location - only 5 minutes walk from the Salamanca markets. It also has free parking for hotel guests and a number of good restaurants nearby. The rooms are a little dated, but are good value for money, and they had the best set-up... more

We stayed at this hotel with our two teenage children on a Saturday and Sunday night. Yes it was a little noisy on the Saturday night but I slept with earplugs. The kids didn't seem to hear the noise. Fantastic value for money with a good breakfast included in the price. Stayed in the only two bedroom unit which had... more

A bit claustraphobic but reasonable for the price and location. Short walk to Salamanca Place. Rooms are clean and well presented if lacking in size and decor. Pub next door is reputedly quite good. This place is fine if you're planning on getting out and about and not spending a lot of time in your room (ie for sleeping purposes... more

We stayed here for one night and found the hotel to be very conveniently located, just a walk down the back stairs and it will get you to the Salamacca shops where there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. Another 5 min walk gets you to the waterfront/pier where there are more restaurants to choose from. It is located... more

We spent 3 nights at the Prince of Wales in late October 2006 (wed, thur, fri nights) after reading positive reviews on this site, and although the rooms were adequate and the location excellent, the noise was just awful. The walls between rooms are paper thin and the windows have not been so much as double glazed so noisy restaurant... more

I booked this hotel based on the reviews here and remembering I had walked past it on a previous visit to Hobart. This hotel is a fantastic find. The location is perfect - right in the heart of Battery Point within 2 blocks of Salamanca Place and the waterfront. The rooms are small but modern and comfortable - all we... more

We discovered this little gem in the middle of Hobart's historic Battery Point, a 1960's unassuming red brick building located between by some of Battery Point's historic homes, business's, restaurants and attractions and just a few minutes walk to the waterfront. The hotel has about a dozen rooms, a quite large restaurant, and a small cocktail bar and main public... more
