“Location, Views and Quiet”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

Our experience of Grand Vue was very good indeed.
Location: walk to Hampden Road for several great breakfast options. 10 min walk to Salamanca Place and the docks for dozens of eating options. 15 min to walk onto the City. Mona Street is relatively quiet and there was no traffic noise in the back rooms. Battery Point is the best accommodation location in Hobart. (And I grew up in Hobart).
The executive suites have delightful views of the river and the corner suite has a view of the mountain as well. Big rooms,well-appointed and well-equipped. Beautifully restored Edwardian (?) house.
Parking is on-street via a permit from the owners. They gave us quite a bit of help with dining options.
Grand Vue in our opinion offers excellent value for money. We visit Hobart annually and will now use it as our preferred accommodation option. And we liked the muffins.

Room Tip: Upstairs executive suites - the NW corner is the best.

“Exceeded Expectations”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

We stayed here for one night on our way to Cradle Mountain. We arrived late due to our delayed flight which wasn't a problem. An easy 5min walk to Salamanca where we got a late dinner. The view from our room was amazing and very romantic. we had breakfast supplies in our room and they were happy to accomodate my gluten free requirements. The room was spacious and very clean.

Fantastic location and reasonable priced. Would stay here again

Room Tip: Upgrade to a room with a water view - worth it

“Grand Vue PRIVATE Hotel NOT VERY PRIVATE!!!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed December 1, 2012

This hotel while tucked away in the back streets of Battery Point is still close enough to Salamanca Markets and the square is still a bit of a walk to the main shops of Hobart. The hotel is very clean, very quiet and has a view to die for HOWEVER the very stuck up snobby half dead man owner "John" leaves very little to write nice things about. He has about as much personality as an ice cube or pick depending on whether you meet his criteria. When we got there he showed us very quickly and very briefly some locations of where we are and how to get there etc etc unfortunately we missed a few pointers and my husband had to go and ask him the next day where the steps were again he replied " I showed you yesterday and marked it on the map I gave you" shame on us for being hot and tired and not paying attention. NOW be careful if you are there for a little romantic weekend because JOHN thinks its ok to tap softly on your door and if he doesn't hear you respond he just lets himself in.....1st time my husband caught him as he was just about to walk in and we were like whoa !!! 2nd time we had had a big day out on the water very hot and very tired we got back had a shower and (room 4. Executive water view room is so hot and stuffy) decided to have an afternoon snooze ...naked... We had the tv and a fan on and again JOHN tapped softly on the door to which we did not hear and did not respond to being as we were asleep and he lets himself in again.....my husband raced for the bathroom and I threw something on really quickly and asked him to please not do this again....to which he replied " I knocked" WHO CARES whilst the gesture of giving the guests a small cake is really very nice you cannot do this to guests and when we checked out he still didn't get it that you can't do this find another way to deliver your treats. And he would NOT APOLOGISE in any way shape or form his wife did but he was adamant to the end that he had done nothing wrong "I do this everyday " says he.

Room Tip: If you want privacy go elsewhere and their is no air con so the rooms are very hot and stuffy. The...

“Quality Accommodation With Amazing Views”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

My husband and I stayed at The Grand Vue during our visit to Hobart. Everything about the hotel was beyond our expectations. The location was perfect. Battery Point is a beautiful location and there are nice places to eat close by. Salamanca Market is also a short walk away. The building itself is beautiful and tastefully appointed with quality features. Our room was amazing and the views were breathtaking. We also loved the added touch of the delicious hot muffins delivered to our room. I highly recommend this accommodation. I could not find a single fault.

“Excellent accommodation with scenic water views”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

My wife and I enjoyed a long weekend at the Grand Vue Private Hotel in Hobart. The hotel has very well appointed rooms with stunning views and is only a pleasant 10 minute walk past pubs and cafes to Salamanca Market. There is an optional huge continental breakfast and evening delivery of muffins and the setting of this restored mansion in a quiet street makes for a more private and personal experience. The owners are very helpful and accommodating.

Room Tip: Water view rooms have large floor to ceiling views
