Room 106- Huge! Brilliant view over the water. Yes there was a car park out front (which did not concern me at all) but then a fantastic water view- ocean liner in full view to complete the picture. Balcony, lounge, kitchen, deep spa bath and a lot of space. This apartment was a very welcome surprise and in a brilliant... More

We stayed here for two nights. This is not the best hotel we've stayed at, yet it isn't the worst. The location is the best aspect of Somerset on Salamanca. You,re literally at the doorstep of Salamanca place. Many reviews are saying that this hotel is expensive for what you get, but you need to take into account that it's... More

We chose this place over Somerset on the Pier after reading reviews about the potential noise we might experience at night. However, I think it would have been better than what we got at this place. No issues with checking in at a separate location and having to park and bring our own bags in (as this was already mentioned... More

This is a great place in a fantastic location in Hobart Tasmania. You are right on the door step of Salamanca where you have access to wonderful eateries, a Tasmanian icon in the Salamanca Saturday market and easy access to the whole harbor precinct of Hobart. We stayed in a two bedroom self contained apartment which was very spacious with... More

We stayed at this property a number of times in the past. This time we had problems with booking the accommodation - had to be transferred to the Global booking office, which is in Manila. People there don't have a clue what they are talking about when it comes to the Salamanca property, which makes booking difficult. When we finally... More

These apartments are OK but really are not worth the money. They are not that luxurious (as is indicated on the site and with the brand) but are reasonably standard holiday apartment accommodation. They are in an awesome location though but so are plenty of other apartments in the Salamanca area. My overall view was these are nice apartments if... More

Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you very much for your feedback. Our apologies that you didn't find our apartments represent value for money. We do believe that our apartments do represent good value for money based on size and location in the main tourist area of Hobart. Hobart being a small city with limited accommodation can also experience increased rates when there... More

The Somerset on Salamanca Hotel is located in the Heart of Hobart's picturesque waterfront district a two minute walk to the Iconic Salamanca markets held every Saturday and short distance to the many historical locations around this area. Hobart has an abundance of accommodation options. The hotel is tucked away off a side street and it was frustrating to discover... More

We showed ourselves to the room and was stunned that it overlooked a large tin warehouse instead of boats and water. When researching a place to stay not one review said how awful this place was. When booking to stay at Salamanca at Hobart a room with some sort of view is just natural. The following day we requested another... More

Rooms not clean. Advertised as king bed but actually 2 single matresses on a king frame. No cover on quilt. No maid service. Hallway dirty and cold. With so many other options, why subject yourself to this. More
