I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was fantastic, close to the sea and ideal for those who enjoy the beach and hiking. The rooms were modern and clean, providing ultimate comfort, but the carpets in the older part of the building need some attention. The staff was attentive and friendly, although there was a slight delay in addressing an issue. The dining experience was delightful, especially at the top-floor revolving restaurant, even though prices were a bit steep for my liking.

I stayed in one of the Waterfront rooms at Wrest Point for a show, and it was a nice and quiet experience. The room was clean and well-presented, making it so inviting that I didn't want to leave. However, the dining experience was a disappointment as some items were missing, and the pricing for certain extras seemed unclear. The location was convenient, with easy parking and close proximity to the casino and city, but the price for additional items like 'eggs' felt unnecessary.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were outdated and had a musty smell, but they were a good size for my family of 4 and overlooked the Derwent River. The service was a bit confusing at first, but the staff went out of their way to ensure we had a comfortable stay. The location was not in the center of Hobart, but close enough to get to everything. The dining experience was satisfactory, with good choices at the top-floor revolving restaurant.

My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were huge and modern, impeccably clean, and the well-stocked fridge was a nice touch. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff willing to go the extra mile. The location was perfect for exploring Battery Point and Salamanca Place, but a bit of a walk to the harbor.

The hotel offers a mix of positive and negative aspects. The rooms might not quite hit the mark in terms of star rating, but they provide picturesque views of both the mountains and the harbour. The service is commendable, even though our stay was short, the staff was friendly, professional, and attentive. The location strikes a balance between serenity and accessibility, being away from the city bustle yet still convenient for sightseeing and harbor gazing. The dining experience could be more varied, though the hotel offers the usual breakfast fare at an additional cost.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with a beautiful waterfront view from my Tower Executive room. The room was impeccably clean and incredibly comfortable, though the abundance of yellow shades was a bit overwhelming at first. The service, especially at the entertainment and bar areas, was exceptional, going above and beyond to accommodate us. The hotel's location on the outskirts of Hobart CBD, near shops and eateries, was convenient despite being uphill from the next lift. While the breakfast was a bit bland and uninspiring, the fabulous dining view and the homestyle Japanese dishes were delightful. Overall, a great place to stay that could benefit from some updates.

The hotel had a beautiful view over the water and featured remote-controlled curtains, two large TVs, a huge shower with a large shower head plus a handheld shower head, a bath, a walk-in robe, and a spacious sitting room. However, we encountered ants in the room, resulting in a room change. The lack of clear information about breakfast options led us to pay for room service breakfast while it was included in the price but required going to another location. Despite being a little old, the rooms were very clean and comfortable, with impeccable cleanliness.

The hotel was really outdated, and major renovations were ongoing, causing a terrible experience.

My accidental twin share booking only resulted in a double bed and a limited water view, not ideal considering the ongoing improvement work. However, the complimentary service on our Wedding Anniversary made our stay more memorable despite encountering grumpy and unfriendly interactions at the Bistro.
