I stayed at the Gattonside over the weekend during a catch up with a friend, the price was very reasonable, and we received a complimentary upgrade, which was very kind. The room was enormous, well equipped and spotlessly clean, bedding was warm and comfortable, and even though it is located on a main road and we had suite #1 (a front facing room) I didn't once hear any traffic noise. We slept through breakfast so I can't comment on that, but I would definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone.

A lovely old house, gracious and comfortably furnished. In a good position, on a busy road but set back so the trafiic is not intrusive. The gardens are lovely, and it isabout a 10 minute walk from downtown Hobart. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, but something needs to be done about the awful water pressure in the shower. Breakfast was tasty and adequate.

My wife needed to be in Hobart for a Monday meeting, so we decided to make a weekend of it and fly down the Friday before. We chose the Gattonside, mainly based on a few pictures and price, and were certainly glad that we did. We had suite #5, which was an enormous room with a four poster bed and an adjoining bathroom with an equally enormous whirlpool tub. We both slept like logs, even though the Gattonside sits on a rather busy road.
The building is heritage listed, and the interior and decoration is appropriately fitting without being too "frumpy." That said, modern furniture just wouldn't fit. I felt that a good and comfortable balance was struck without having it feel too much like your great aunt's front room that no one is allowed in. Chocolate and port on offer in the evenings is a nice touch.
We found the location to be very convenient, just a short walk to the Salamanca markets on Saturday morning, and a quick stroll to some great restaurants (we tried Monty's on Montpelier, a 5 minute walk away and had a great meal).
Gattonside was a great base to explore Hobart from, the breakfasts were generous and our hosts were quite accommodating. I'd certainly return on my next trip to Hobart.

Gattonside is a beautiful heritage listed building with a lovely garden. Host Nicole was welcoming and helpful. The room, with fresh flowers, a four poster bed and lovely old furniture was roomy and comfortable and had lots of character. The bathroom was huge and lovely. Breakfast choice was small but okay and served in a friendly and efficient way. Guests can use the laundry. There was some traffic noise but the building itself was quiet- you could not hear other guests. There was plenty of easy parking. It was an easy walk to Battery Point, Salamanca Place and the wharves. If I return to Hobart I would definitely stay there again.
