Small very smelly old rooms with one sink for toilet & tea & coffee. Horrible old soft flat pillows. Banging doors. No fly screens. Parking difficult & space. Staff friendly & helpful.
Room was clean and pleasant. Bed was comfortable. Reception area was not that impressive.

Hotel ideally situated for stopping overnight when arriving late on the ferry, rooms all upstairs but comfortable, a fair bit of noise especially from other guests talking loudly when heading to their rooms and when congregating in the common room. Reasonably priced, excellent food in the restaurant.
The beer was cold, the food was very good, the service was exceptional and the room was just right for our nights stay, will thoroughly recommend to all, we will make a point of staying there on our next trip to Tassie, thank you….Geoff.

Liked: Cleanliness
fairly basic room, but nice and clean, good food and drink downstairs, and live music!. enjoyed the stay
Great location, great price, easy parking, clean and comfortable with a good size bath. I was at the back which had less traffic noise but the back door was quite noisy with other guests not closing it quietly. It did stop and didn’t disturb my sleep but a door closer might help.
