Somerset on the Pier Hobart

Amazing place to stay... very close to downtown Hobart.... walking distance to the cruise ship! Great food in the area.

Location was perfect and close ti everything we needed. Apartment was a good size and enjoyed great views of the harbour.

We stayed twice within a week in 2 different rooms. A mixed reaction with some positives and some negatives. Firstly the positives. Location is perfect for the harbour, restaurants and tours. The apartments are well appointed with a lounge overlooking the harbour, good kitchen and decent bedroom. Can sit on the balcony overlooking the harbour. The negatives included……apartment 17 was a bit smelly like a dirty drain. We didn’t realise this was specific to the room until we went to room 13 for our next stay, which had zero smell. There were no bath plugs in apartment 13, the clock radio did not work, and the fridge did not shut properly. Some of these items were resolved when we raised them with reception. The air conditioning was very noisy, and you could hear the units in the adjoining apartments. Also, the controls were different in apartments 13 and 17, even though the instructions were the same. Overall the apartments are “tired” and need redecorating (at least)

We enjoyed our time here, but the sound insulation between rooms is really bad. You can hear everything, Parking is a mess, and the place needs to be less like an old Ibis and more up to date. Having said that staff were great, and having an ability to cook in that area is worth it.

location was great

Don’t stay here. Our room was filthy. The main bedroom smelled like urine, and the ceiling fan was covered in dust. The portable fan my sister needed due to the lack of air conditioning upstairs was also extremely dusty, and we had to clean it with a tissue, removing thick chunks of dust. We recorded everything and took photos. There was what appeared to be a bird dropping on the TV, sticky marks on the walls, and an ancient aircon that barely cooled the lower level but did nothing for the upper level or bedrooms. During summer, it was hot. There was dust and dirt behind the bed side tables. We complained to reception and received a refund. No way were we staying here. We then booked at the Hilton Hobart, which was cheaper, and beautifully maintained. The manager was very kind and promptly issued a refund, for which I’m grateful.

We loved the view including the balcony to enjoy it We were disappointed with the second bedroom - it was not a room, just a space outside the main bedroom

Excellent location in the heart of the attractions on the water. Wonderful outlook to Mt Wellington and to the water. Parking is the challenge and property is dusty and starting to be dated. We enjoy our stay and the friendly staff.

Love the location just the lack of parking. Rooms where excellent

Loved it. Overlooking Constitution Dock, a working harbour, the apartment a little tired but wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else in Hobart.
