Writing this review having just checked into the Wrest Point. Room is clean and spacious, king bed and massive window that spans the entire outside wall. The view is not of the harbour but of the mountains and small portions of Battery Point can be seen. I can not remember seeing a view like this one anywhere that I have... More

This hotel was built in 1973 and although it probably has been updated some, still shows its age. The rooms are of average size and most will have a view of the Hobart harbor. The restaurants here are expensive with meals ranging from $24AU p/p for a Continental breakfast to more than $50AU p/p for dinner. The hotel is not... More

We booked a Tower room as part of a package to see a show ( Adam Hills) and paid in fact $200 for one night just for the room. We also had trouble getting food ( the main restaurant closed at 9 pm when the show finished). The rooms are small and old. There is a terrible old 48cm TV... More

This place was more like an RSL with rooms to stay over night. Boring, nothing going on. The Birdcage bar was so small...I couldn't beleive it, the cocktails were a bit overpriced but having said that if you get a frozen one it's topped up like a large sundae, but it really was just a piano/cocktail bar, not for a...

The hotel is embarrasing. For a first class country like ours you get better value and aesthetics from a 3 star dive in Indonesia, I've rated one room in Bali as "a toilet in a toilet" but in all honesty, as bad as it was, the Wrestpoint casino and hotel are deplorable. Tired old "Brady bunch" decor, the food prices... More

I have stayed in several Hobart Hotels so know the standard well enough to say that even for Tassie, it was substandard and over priced. Small, out dated, tired, and it even smelled bad. When I complained I was told that this was the only room I could have as they were all the same. I booked it as a... More

I've had a recent 3 night stay at Wrest Point casino. I foolishly did not check reviews on trip advisor prior to booking because I was visiting Hobart for a conference, and Wrest Point was the conference venue. I stayed in a Tower Harbor view room.

the views from our room in the tower were lovely. The rooms were very dated and many things in our room were broken and not in a working manner. The location was great only a $9 taxi ride to salamanca. The concierge was extremely helpful. If youre going to spend a decent amount I'd reccommend looking elsewhere.
