Central Hotel Hobart

Love the location in Central Hobart, right above a sports book, cafe, and gaming center. Excellent dining options nearby. Didn't do any gaming, but enjoyed having a bar downstairs. Only downside was the washer / dryer facilities were down, and we had been planning on them.

Firstly, I will say that the actual room was quite adequate (except for the minute corner shower). But my concern and low points given rests on the hotel itself. I would strongly suspect that it has changed hands. It looked nothing like the photos on the website. It is now a gaming hotel (with the accommodation as a secondary sideline in my opinion). It is now painted a dark grey on the outside with a lot of advertising about it being a Gaming place,e.g.billboards on the footpath and overhead signs etc. You walk in and have to go to the bar to the right of the entry and check-in at the bar surrounded by clients watching wall to wall TVs showing every available sport etc. On the other side of the entrance is the pokie room The accommodation is through a secure door between the two gaming rooms.I am not complaining about the staff as they were polite and helpful with luggage etc and the rooms were very clean and well presented. It is just that it not a suitable hotel to have on this website in its changed form. We felt embarrassed walking in and out. In fact so much so, that although we had booked and paid for two nights, we moved to another hotel after one night. We found the whole experience depressing. There are a few tables and chairs at the end of the TV Gaming room which I suspect is the "restaurant" but dinner is served only 2 nights a week and heaven knows about breakfast. We would not recommend this place as it is nothing like the photos on this website.

Sharon the lady at the check in counter really helpful and friendly. Very good convenient spot close to every where. Good price.

We had a great stay at the Central Hotel. Its all you need in a room to explore around Hobart and is well positioned to the harbour. We stayed on a Friday and Saturday night and the pub was closed earlyso there was no noise. Will stay here again when we come back.

We stayed at Centyral Hotel Hobart a couple of days and returned a week later for another few days. We were able to leave some things which the staff stored for us while we were gone which we appreciated.

Convienently located. Poor sound proofing between rooms and other patrons having parties in rooms
