My stay at Rydges Hobart was quite pleasant, with a charming older building that added character. The location is perfect for exploring North Hobart, although I found some details in the room to be lacking. The breakfast was decent, but not as impressive as I had hoped. Overall, I would recommend this place for its comfort and unique ambiance. 😊

Rooms

I stayed in one of the older rooms, which felt spacious and included a small lounge area. However, it was odd having no mirror in the room and the bathroom setup could have been better. I also missed having more towel rails for drying towels.

Service

The staff were friendly and accommodating, helping with my requests promptly. They even provided champagne glasses for my small celebration, which I appreciated. There were some limitations due to renovations, but overall service was good.

Location

The location was fantastic—just a short stroll to the vibrant North Hobart dining strip and only a bit further to the CBD. It’s quiet enough for a restful stay but close enough to enjoy the city life.

I found the on-site restaurant to be a bit pricey, and the breakfast options were fairly basic, lacking in variety and freshness. However, the dinner I had was good quality, made with local Tasmanian ingredients.

I appreciated the spaciousness and cleanliness of my room at Rydges Hobart, but I encountered several issues that made my stay less enjoyable. The lack of adequate amenities was disappointing, especially for a hotel of this caliber. While the location was decent, it was a bit far from the heart of the city, making navigation a bit tricky.

Rooms

6.0

The room was roomy and cozy but lacked sufficient tea/coffee supplies, and those provided weren't replenished daily. The bed was comfortable, but I noticed some issues with the shower and towels. The old McDonald’s container I found under the bed was unsettling.

Service

7.0

The staff were generally friendly and helpful, and I appreciated the immediate response when I requested softer pillows. However, the overall service could have been improved in understanding guest needs, especially regarding room conditions.

Location

6.0

The location was okay but a bit far from the CBD, which made accessing attractions a little inconvenient. It was nice being close to some restaurants, but walking could be challenging due to the hilly area.

Dining

5.0

I found the on-site restaurant to be overpriced for the quality of food offered. While I had a buffet breakfast each morning, it didn’t impress and could be better value if you explore local cafes nearby.

Facilities

6.0

Facilities like free Wi-Fi and a good housekeeping service were a plus. However, the common areas felt a bit dated and lacked some basic amenities that would enhance the overall experience.

Breakfast was buffet-style with a basic selection. it could definitely use more variety, and some dishes were overcooked. Yet, it was convenient and saved me a trip downtown.
