Connor Gregory
While the initial appeal of 1800 architecture seems appealing visually, it’s unfortunate that there hasn’t been an attempt to include even the most basic amenities in what is priced at the higher end of town. For $377/night you expect the rooms to at least have air conditioning, which they do not. The staff was kind enough to inform me there was a heater to use instead, so unless you’re coming in winter, or enjoy sweating in your sleep forget about it. Terrible stay. Never again. Who knew when you’re paying nearly $400 a night you wouldn’t get aircon.

Have stayed here many times but it had been a while. Sadly many changes to staff have occurred. The receptionist, Eyes, is by far the worst at her job. Try to charge over $300 extra on my confirmed reservation and it wasn't until I showed her the email she finally agreed to the cost. This was stressful after a day of travelling from WA. She was just as rude at check out a week later. The rest of the staff in the restaurant and cleaning were lovely. I doubt i will be back though

The rooms lack basic things like enough milk for a single coffee. The beds were really nice. Only one bin and it's tiny. Really bad tv. 3 stars rooms. The room booking was very frustrating because we asked for an extra bed in one of the rooms. They put us in a room cheaper then we asked for and still paid the price of the more expensive room. After our first night they moved us into a room we paid for with 2 beds instead of one. While the staff were moving our luggage (we were out of the hotel so we couldn't move it) they lost my 40 dollar charger. I went the night without it and the next morning they looked all over for it came though they were so understaffed and found it saving me 30$. I greatly appreciate it and they were all very nice. 5 star service. The location is not bad looking over a footy oval and a portion of the Hobart housing areas. Enterong the parking lot is easy and there s lots of parking spots and a nice pool that is very clean. 4 star location. Overall rating 4 stars.

We very much enjoyed our stay while at Rydges Hobart. Lovely hotel! Just wish that the room service was available all week. That caught us out a couple of nights.

Nice blend of late 1800s charm and modern amenities. Only down side was carrying bags upstairs as there was no lift but easily worth it for the view, King bed, large TV & spacious room. There is a bar, restaurant & breakfast is available on site with ample parking containing charging stations for EV’s. location is close to restaurants, shops and central enough for getting around Hobart. Excellent friendly reception staff, WIFI was faster than most places we’ve been, streaming was capable in our room.
