ibis Styles Hobart
Lovely room and convenient location. The pool and saunas were great (pool was very cold though and there are only a few chairs and no hooks anywhere to hang bags etc which seemed uninviting) we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would recommend this hotel and some time in Hobart.

Allurity Hotel
The room was clean but set up with 2 extra beds and the room was not large enough for 4 people. We only had 2 and it was still a bit small. Not like the photos on the site.
