This place is awful, if only I had seen the reviews and knew about trip advisor before I got there. Everything stated in other reviews is correct, although didnt experience bed bugs. I think this is one of lifes experiences that you should receive a knighthood or similar accolade for surviving a night here. Therefore I am recommending it, survive... more

I totally agree with the previous reviews. Obviously I'm not the only one who is writing a review for the first time, in the hope of saving other travellers from The Hobart Hotel experience. As well as being filthy, (the kennels where my dogs stayed was cleaner, and smelt better!) the facilities were nothing like stated on the internet advertisements... more

Budget we have done it Historic we have done it This was something dreadful , we looked up the web site for (The Brunswick Hotel) photos looked fine, facilities seemed more than adequate No great seafood and steak grill restaurant as stated (nothing at all) No function room, only a side room always full of probably backpackers zoned into their... more

Silly me, I didn't read the other reviews before I booked in to this Hotel. If I had, I wouldn't have booked. I went to the "Tasmania" site and from there to "accommodation". The photos there are the same that are on this trip advisor site which are very different to what it is actually like. What everyone else has... more

How can the internet advertisement and the real thing be so different? Everything the other reviews have writen is true, unfortunately we paid up front for the Old Hobart for 4 nights when I asked for a receipt it read the Brunswick Hotel, Unfortunately the Old Hobart is a backpackers hotel If I had known this I would have never... more

Dear all, being a easy-going person, i have never submitted any reviews online on my hostels/hotel stays in my years of travels. But this time round, I had to Google for the main sites listing this hotel and do up my reviews as I think its really important to keep ALL my fellow travellers AWARE of the bad situation here.... more

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in - I was booked in for 4 nights, but it was so bad that I had to get out of there and check into another hotel after the second night. The staff were friendly and helpful, but on arrival you have to go into the bar to check in -... more

We have just returned from a weekend in Hobart and stayed one night at the Old Hobart Hotel. Alarm bells should have already been ringing when I was greeted by a bad smell upon walking into the hotel bar and the reception asked me to pay up front for the two nights. I asked to check the room which was... more

I joined tripadvisor just to write a review of this hotel. It's a pub hotel and it caters to backpacker types. I was travelling to Hobart on a budget for a conference and found a really good deal on this room. I was pretty concerned about this place because I couldn't find very much information about it online and there... more
