I agree with the comments about the noise, as we had the room right in the corner overlooking the road. We spent two nights at Motel 429, and I found the staff very helpful indeed in terms of suggestions of restaurants, what to see etc. The views were lovely across the river, and the room was light and airy.

We recently stayed 4 nights and found the experience very comfortable and excellent value for money. It is in an great location for jogging or walking alongside the river. A microwave in the room is a plus when staying a few nights and there is an excellent, casual seafood restaurant within walking distance. I would also highly recommend the Indian... More

Stayed here for a night after flying into Hobart late. Easy to get to, friendly service. It is a bit noisy being located on a fairly busy road, especially when the road is wet. The bed was a bit small and a bit hard. Overall, i would recommend this as a good overnighter.

Stayed at this motel twice in our recent trip to Tasmania, rooms were clean and tidy, modern in decor. Reception staff were friendly and helpful Location on the waterfront across the road from the wrest point casino was good and proved to be a good location to explore Hobart and surrounding countryside. Pricing was at the top of the range... More

Stayed in a Deluxe Queen room. The location of the motel is lovely, right next to casino and the derwent river....The room was clean and comfortable. The bed mattress seemed to be a bit hard though. There is free parking onsite. The room had a dvd player, microwave, basic crockery and cutlery and tea making facilities. This was very helpful.... More

We stayed for one night only in a Deluxe Queen room. The good: free parking; microwave/crockery/cutlery; tea/coffee facilities; DVD player; reasonably priced mini bar. The bad: price; location; unfriendly staff; toiletries (hand wash & shampoo) provided in dispensers, no conditioner provided. There is a Coles supermarket 10min walk or 2min drive away (open until midnight) and if you have kids,... More

Motel 429 was very clean, comfortable and the staff were extra friendly. We stayed for 2 nights and would highly recommend. Location was really great. Only downfall is there is no restaurant but close to others.

We stayed three nights in a second floor standard room. This was clean, freshly decorated and well furnished; the queen bed was particularly comfortable. Our room had a small balcony with room (just) for two to sit out. The bathroom is very small with a WC, basin and sit bath with shower over, but again very clean, freshly decorated and... More

We keep coming back to this motel. Love the fact that we can park the car outside and just get up and go in the mornings. We stayed in one of upgraded self-contained family rooms this time. Motel is always clean and very comfortable. Loved the little kitchen, after several days of eating out three meals a day it was... More
