Stay well away from this dank, worn out and depressing hotel with rooms that in summer have no fans and no air conditioning. Better to sleep in your car than at this place. The photos on the Waterfront Lodge New Town Bay website must have been taken when it was new 30 or more years ago, and the rooms still... More

We only stayed for one night during our trip around Tasmania. The room is decent, clean bathroom. There s a tiny TV probably the tiniest one I've ever seen hehe but we don't use it so no problems. You have to pay to Internet which is a minus point for the price we paid. I don't think I wanna go... More

The room was like a prison cell. Third party websites advertise the only room with adjacent space for bunk beds as the basic room... a total misrepresentation. The other twenty or so rooms are reminiscent of a down at heel fleapit. The fire alarm went off one night "after hours" (6:30 pm), no one answered the after hours phone number... More

We stayed at the Waterfront 6 years ago and had an upstairs motel room and were fairly happy with the standard then and the views of Mt Wellington and the jetty of old boats at the waterfront were pleasing. As a result we booked again this year Feb 2011 and were given room No4 in the "Cottage", which is an... More

The rooms were clean, hallways and the shared kitchen were not. Several things like lights, powerpoints and hairdryer did not work. Staff were very friendly to my (male) partner but quite rude to me. It is a nice.quiet location but not far enough out of Hobart to be a chore More

We spend a night here as part of a friends birthday weekend. The room was large and the bathroom was neat and tidy. We paid $85 for the room and it exceeded our expectations. The motel was a bit out of the city, but we had a car so there was no issue. More

We booked this hotel on the internet and read some reviews that stated that the rooms were "beautifully appointed". When we arrived at 6.30 pm we picked up a keys for our 2 rooms from a box on the wall outside the main building, these keys were for rooms in the "cottage". These rooms were in a poor state of...

As I work in the hotel industry myself I do expect the basics for all motels/hotels and apartments. Unfortunately my accommodation didn't even reach that standard and was horrified that I had been led to believe was advertised was a lie. Next time I will go through the travel agency or book a place such as Quest, Best Western, Quality... More

Room was small. It was in need of a good clean. Dirty walls and windows. Bathroom wall had hair and dust scattered around the upper walls. Ceiling fan was very dusty. Toilet was to close to the bench that held the hand basin. A person 6 foot or over would strugle as I did to sit comfortably on the toilet.... More
