Guest Reviews

• Leanne (3/5): Filthy but cheap self contained - Appliance wise ok to good.I slept well. Extremely dirty.human hair,food spilt in microwave oven grease inside & out.Dirty cutlery .cupboards dirty inside & out,floors the list is big. No hair-dryer there & it says in their add there is.Vacum cleaner it works but head falls off as it's broken. My carer had to remove cupboard pieces just so I could get out of the car.Then she had the curtain netting rod fall down on top of her. No washing up liquid or cloth, tablets for the dish washer. Nothing to wash hands with ie soap.No complimentary personal products ie soap..,the sugar was in a bag lumpy.The t.bags were loose in the pantry cupboard, no milk.If this property was clean it would be quite good value for money. That was what I was looking for at the time. A property that was self-contained & value for money.
• Holly (8/5): Cozy and quiet - Location was perfect for afternoon walks with my dog, close to shops for essentials and a vast selection of food delivery options too
• Frances (9/5): Extremely good value, comfortable clean and incredibly well located. Not luxurious but safe and warm - I’ve stayed here before, and I highly recommend the location and the price. Just a few steps to a beautiful long walk past the bay, and close to lots of cafes and supermarkets. Very quiet and peaceful. Not fancy by any means, but comfortable and well served by washing machine, dryer and dishwasher. Also a good stove, a big fridge and excellent hot water pressure. TV quite small, no vacuum cleaner, iron or hairdryer. Overhead Fluorescent lighting extremely dull and the bedside lamp still broken.
• Ali (7/5): Good -
• Branagan (5/5): Good location but owners don't care!! - Kitchen and bathroom good. Bed comfortable. Location great for us. BUT vent over stove needs cleaning, detergent drawer in washing machine dirty, shower tiles/grouting need scrubbing, no protectors on pillows or mattress, pillows disgraceful - torn cover and black marks all over one - mould?, bedside light broken (review in Nov 24 said same!), bedside table top dented in, chair at desk very old and tatty ... Could add more! Obvious lack of attention to detail which exhibits total lack of care. Furniture all mismatched. No couch or lounge chairs. Curtain rods fall when you touch them. Noise from house above. Not value for money!! Sue and Mark
• Damber (7/5): Good -
• Kristine (6/5): Pleasant -
• Frances (9/5): Not fancy, but incredibly well priced for the location - Very comfortable. Washing machine , dryer, dishwasher free. Big fridge. Good oven, pans, pots, condiments, knives etc Amazing location, less than a minute from Sandy Bay Road. Very safe and homely
• Sally (7/5): Good for 1-2 nights, has good basics but not a place you can relax. - Has all the basics, bed comfy, clean, and convenient location. Good for the budget-conscious. Lacks a lounge/sofa and not very “ homely”, dodgy curtain rods, plastic chairs, converted double garage, with people living above.
• Bels (8/5): Very good -
• Ruth (3/5): Poor -
• Duncan (6/5): Adequate, but less than satisfactory. - We chose the accommodation because its location was perfect for our needs. it was neglected and needed a thoroughly good clean. We arrived after the 3pm check in time and the place was unlocked and housekeeping had not begun to clean and service it for the next guests. We phoned the number we were given for contact and the English of the person who answered was not good. But we explained our complaint and when we arrived the second time, it had been made ready for us.This was 30 minutes later so a quick ‘clean and refresh’ yes!
• Lorrae (4/5): Disappointing -
• Andrew (1/5): Not very pleasant. - Great location. No couch to sit on. Just 2 kitchen chairs. Made for a very uncomfortable stay. Room smelt a bit mouldy and the noises from people staying above were very loud. Not nice to look at the exposed back of the refrigerator. Are the wires hanging out the bathroom wall over the mirror live?
• Anthony (6/5): Reasonably priced and located for what we required, would have been happier if the cleaning was 100% - Location The cleanliness of the internal and external of the property. But mainly the internal. Left a handwritten note to say we didn’t use anything other than the bathroom and bed, we didn’t cook etc. but noticed nothing had been cleaned from whoever last used the full facilities. The floor had not been vacuumed and near the sink there was a slug trail across the mat. Still a very damp mouldy smell in the internal wardrobe area, I noticed a comment previously about that, and only one of the bedside lights were working. Very noisey fan in bathroom.
• Serena (6/5): Raining with a chance of privacy, lol! - I love the location! I also had to leave my bags because I had way too many, and I couldn't take them with me. My bag's were exactly where I left them and they were untouched. I really appreciate the honesty. I had house keeping come during my stay to bring me rubbish bags and hand wash, however it felt like house keeping was actually checking up on me. I have no idea why they felt the need to do that, I was on my own! I am an introvert so I don't like guest coming past unannounced, sorry!
• Kate (7/5): We had a great stay, only a few minor things to improve on - It had everything that we needed and was in a great location The power cut out twice at the start of our stay but the owners were very good at addressing the issue, it was very easy to hear the people upstairs which was annoying especially when we were trying to sleep. I also found a condom wrapper under the bed which was a bit gross
• Joy (2/5): Enjoyed Hobart but not the accommodation. - Only the location Place is scruffy and lacking any form of welcome. Room not prepared for arrival, no tea bag or coffee , no info on where to purchase these or on the area. Had to unload dishwasher to find cups. Broken light fitting over bed, minimal equipment in kitchen (like a student flat). No comfortable seats.
• Ian (8/5): Good accommodation, good location, good price. - The location was excellent, and the cost of the accommodation was appropriate to the area. I'd certainly consider returning if there were similar requirements. The kitchen and laundry amenities were excellent. There were two minor issues - first was that the key lockbox code or the box lock never worked for us. Fortunately when we arrived the cleaner was still finishing cleaning the property and we were able to use their key for our whole stay. Some guests might consider the TV a little small these days. We were fine with it. The reading lights for the bed need repair. The one that worked was of excellent brightness, but was coming apart. The other light was missing a globe.
• Lance (8/5): Very good - Probably upstairs noise from other tenants
• Armstrong (8/5): Very good -
• Robert (7/5): Great compact accommodation at riverside location - Warm, (great heating system), cosy, and convenient. Easy to access property. Walking distance to Sandy Bag promenade and BlacFig cafe and deli. Slight smell of damp. Electrical plugs all stopped working on the final morning after a fuse blew
• Carolyn (7/5): Good value. - The unit was fully self contained. Full kitchen in studio style unit. It was very quiet and private, and in one of the best neighbourhoods in Hobart. A really great price. There was no coffee or tea, and no shower products. We had to go to the supermarket and buy it. The walk in closet was very damp, and needs some moisture crystals. But really for the price, I'm not complaining(:
• Michelle (5/5): Excellent location, conditions could be improved - Excellent location, had everything you needed to cook and clean The place was unclean, the wardrobe smelt severely of mildew/mould, you had to keep the door closed, and you couldn't put clothes in there. The shower had mould, so you had to keep the bathroom door shut from smell. The fridge was dirty with crumbs of other people's food. There were no blankets, it's Tasmania in the middle of winter. The door pin code to get the key was wrong. The bins were full and over flowing, with rubbish on the ground around them.
• Markku (7/5): I liked the location - Location and price Could of have a thicker doona
• Lorraine (6/5): Comfortable but lacking attention to detail. - Good location and size. Many appliances. Owner responsive to extra request. Black mould in shower. Nothing to sit on comfortably to watch TV etc. TV was new but not tuned so we had to set it up ourselves. Lacked provisions eg heaps of teabags but not coffee, sugar was contaminated, no clothes washing detergent, no tea towel, nothing to wipe up spills, one bedside light had no globe, door locks a bit tricky to use, key safe lock broke, no instructions for the heater.
• Steven (8/5): Very good - Tidy an Finding it :) Google maps wasn’t showing me the correct address..
• Ellul (9/5): Great place to stay. Great value. - Great apartment with everything you could need. Owner was very accommodating. Helped us quickly when we managed to lock ourselves in the apartment. Shower needs better cleaning and dirty towels were left on the shelf from previous people that I almost used. Bit gross.
• Kayla (3/5): Poor - Location was great The smell of walking into a Cattery it was awful.. Slept with the door open.. Wet floor from what seem to be where a kitty litter has been stored. The curtains where soaking up the moisture from the wet dirty carpet
• Don (8/5): Very good -
• Robyn (10/5): Fabulous location and very comfortable - Very clean, very comfortable, great location It was all good
• Swanson (8/5): Happy with the accommodation - Location was good There was no tea towels and need better pillows
• Michael (8/5): Very good -
• Jizhou (8/5): Very good - Well-equipped Bad soundproof. Noise from upstairs at 3 AM.
• Rodney (8/5): Very good -
• Juan (10/5): A10 - Location is excellent 100m from sea. Very good hosts and always on phone if anything is needed but is all there, well stock kitchen and clean, our stay was of high quality. Thank you Mr DONG we will return many times, Juan Nothing
• Marg (3/5): Distressing until kitchen worked and I had a comfortable chair. Lighting insufficient. - Under a house lead to insufficient lighting and no outlook. I had to request more kitchen utensils in detail and the owner didn’t have the concept of buying small amounts in a small kitchen. I twice had to request a lounge chair. I had to request tv be made to work.
