Reviews for Rydges Hobart
Elena Cherepanova
I think Rydges Hobart is one of my favourite hotels in Australia. The heritage building in itself worth visiting. There is something very special about it, the little fountain at the front, looked after shrubs, rooms with chess floor. Very 'homey'' feeling. Plus all the normal 'hotel' stuff, comfortable beds and an amazing lady at the reception. Whoever is managing this place doing a great job
Nathan Croft
For the North Hobart location, this is a lovely hotel. The building itself is quite beautiful, dating back to the early 1900s, retaining much character and elegance. The staff are friendly and attentive. The rooms could do with a slight bit of sprucing up and some love, but that's not overly surprising given the age of the building. (Minor note: it was pretty cold when we visited, but we were very happy with the amount of heat the two room heaters provided.) Loved the location with the proximity of shops/cafes/cinema/restaurants/bars/pubs on the main strip, plus the Botanical gardens not far away. Certainly would stay here again if we were visiting the area.

Very nice room. Larger than normal at a good price. Big car park. Unfortunately the TV system didn’t work for us. So bring a laptop. Breakfast was complimentary and also great.

Lovely old restored building, on top of a hill. We stayed in an Executive Antique Suite with a great view. Lots of parking and close to town. Terrific that it had a laundry, but they had run out of washing powder. Lucky we had a sachet in our luggage. Microwave and crockery, cutlery, and glassware. Lovely staff.
Teresa Murphy
Really lovely hotel. Was half the price of any other hotel for the number of nights we needed. Rooms were surprisingly spacious and absolutely spotless, and I'm very fussy. Besides the bedroom and very large bathroom there was a little sitting room which I wasn't expecting so that was great. Staff were very courteous and helpful. We were able to leave our bags there after checking out as our flights weren't until the evening. It was a bit of a walk to the city centre, about 20 mins, we didn't mind as there were lots of interesting little shops on Elizabeth Street leading down into the centre. If mobility is an issue an uber is only a few dollars to the centre and there is a bus stop just outside also. There were some slightly uneven outdoor steps up to our room which was fine for us but might be a struggle if mobility is an issue so maybe check with staff before finalising booking.
