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.

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.

My stay at Rydges Hobart was an absolute pleasure. The hotel perfectly combines modern amenities with a charming heritage vibe, reflecting the rich history of Hobart. The rooms were spacious, clean, and tastefully designed, offering a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The location is excellent – close enough to the city center while maintaining a peaceful, relaxed environment. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making sure every detail of my stay was perfect. The standout for me was the dining experience. The Manor Grill offered delicious meals, with fresh, local ingredients and a great selection of Tasmanian wines. Breakfast was a treat, with plenty of options to suit all tastes. If you’re visiting Hobart and looking for a stay that balances comfort, history, and excellent service, Rydges Hobart is a fantastic choice. Rating: ★★★★★

Loved the overall experience of this hotel and the staff went above and beyond. Rooms although serviced to a high standard suffer from cross-noise contamination as they are narrow and in two floors. There appears to be limited noise dampening. Also parking is immediately outside, one morning constant car door closing noises. The staff however were expectational and offered a solution without prompting.

Went for Christmas lunch, had a 1pm booking and they ran out of food within 30 minutes, unable to bring any more meats out. Very disappointed in the planning and preparation since it was fully booked and they knew how many and when people would be turning up. Had a much better experience last year at half the cost.
