"Fantastic location & stay! I cannot speak highly enough of our excellent experience at Sandy Bay. Location was amazing, steps away from St David’s park. We had a city view room which was comfortable & spacious with wonderful amenities. Communication prior & check was smooth & friendly. Lovely staff who go out of their way to make you welcome. Highly recommend and will be back 10/10"

Quirky and fun. For one night the Gypsy caravan was grest. Hatchers Retreat is great and full of interesting stuff along with great stories. Food in restaurant was good too.

Beautiful old home with a fascinating history all documented in books available to read. Owner Stan was so helpful, enjoyed good chats and the service was great - ample breakfast in lovely dining room with drinks available all day. Use of kitchen also throughout the day to prepare own food if wanted. Easy bus ride into Hobart if no car. Would 100% recommend.

Lovely to look out over the water. The room was clean and well equipped. When we arrived the check-in was welcoming and efficient. We were a little concerned that it might be noisy near the road but it quietened down by bedtime.

One of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. Customer service outstanding and could not have done more to make our stay more comfortable.
Our room itself (Arthur) was incredible. Views over the Derwent (including from the bath), enormous space and generous kitchen. Would have loved to have stayed for longer.

We stayed for 1 night prior to our flight. The welcome was warm, the accommodation was really well equipped and the breakfast basket plenty to set us up for the day. Sorell Barracks represents excellent value for money!

This must be one of the most interesting hotels to stay in all the world with this amazing theme of story telling. Everything about it was fabulous from checkin to checkout. We only stayed one night but wished we had planned for longer. Why? The roo was enormous, well equipped and with a great bed and bedding. The view over the waterfront was sensational. It was so quiet at night so great sleep. The evening meal was very high quality from a sensibly short menu but with a good wine list. ...

Excellent location for visiting the Salamanca Market and the ferry for MONA, our room had a great view out over the bay. Friendly helpful staff, hotel with a long history but felt up to date for all we needed/wanted. Really comfortable bed
