The Blue Hills is only a 15-minute walk from Salamanca and the harbor. There is no restaurant at the hotel, and they follow the unfortunate Hobart custom of most 3-star motels of not having any staff present from 8pm to 8 am.

Arriving late on a flight (9.30pm) to find that reception closes at 8pm. I had to find someone to get me a room. Luckily that happened. The room was OK, comfortable but had a stale smell.

The service desk is under-attended but there seem to be piles of free and current magazines in the lobby (yes,... More

I arrived in Hobart late on a cold Sunday, having booked this hotel via Tripadvisor. It was comfortable and serviceable. The building is old but it has been kept reasonably well. The steps up to the entrance/reception area are steep when you are carrying a heavy suitcase. The bathroom was clean and the water hot. Internet was free and the... More

The 60s may have died here, but it's good value for money, well located, and clean. What more do you want, sometimes? Good views of the city and Mt Wellington as well More
