Wrest Point
Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Would have liked options other than the full breakfast in the dining room. Not everyone wants to pay for a full breakfast when we only want toast or cereal .

Doubletree By Hilton Hobart
Staff were excellent, from reception to cleaners all were very friendly and made our stay so enjoyable. The rooms are lovely and the location is right in town, short walk to the Salamanca Market. And the pool and sauna were very clean and lovely. We will be back next time we are in Hobart.
