Guest Reviews
- Teresa (9/5): -
- Janelle (7/5): Mostly enjoyable - Great location and easy parking Bistro closed at 7.30pm on Saturday night.
Bar closed 9pm Friday night and 8pm Saturday evening.
Couldn’t have a nightcap 🙁
- Rob (10/5): -
- Teresa (10/5): - All was great food amazing an staff the best
- allison (9/5): great place to stay - lovley meals nothing
- Janine (8/5): -
- Elizabeth Susan (6/5): Budget stay in Hobart - Good sized room and bathroom.
Handy 10 minute walk to Elizabeth Street.
Handy meal access at tavern with good range of readonable food. Room needs a microwave, more rails in bathroom and more soundproofing from traffic noise especially.
- SLAATS (10/5): - The property was clean, tidy and modern. Stacy were friendly and helpful. Onsite food and drinks i didn’t get to eat or drink
Here but convenient if I was visiting again would definitely stay here again
- Guillermo (10/5): -
- Tana Erdene (8/5): -
- Helen (8/5): - Affordable. Nothing
- Jenny (9/5): -
- Barbara (10/5): Was very clean & modern , suited our needs - It was close to the Calvert hospital Nothing
- Adrian (10/5): -
- Edwin (8/5): - We love the location and easy to navigate. But we’re also waiting for a lift installation for getting up to the top floor Microwave in the room
- Kunjal (8/5): - The Nepali lady who was working in the morning was outstanding. They should have microwave in the room
- Andrew (9/5): -
- Julie (9/5): - The bed was very hard.
- Prashant (1/5): Pathetic - Nothing Disappointing Stay - Poor Maintenance and Unfair Billing Practices. Unauthorized Charge Without Notice: The most troubling part came after our stay. Without any prior contact, discussion, or notification, the hotel charged $150 to my credit card claiming we caused water damage. This is completely false - the shower was already broken when we tried to use it. The hotel never reached out to discuss the situation, provide evidence, or give us an opportunity to explain what actually happened before taking money from our account. This is unacceptable business practice. Any reputable establishment would contact guests first before applying disputed charges.
- Ramon (10/5): -
- Ho (8/5): Overall, we are happy with our stay at Black Buffalo. - The hotel is located within short distances from places we visited. It also provide complimentary parking space which is nice to have. Though we only need to climb 1 storey, would be exceptional if there is a standard lift or at least platform lift. We have 5 luggages which weigh about 20 kg each. Also has one senior with weak knees. For this round we can still manage as one of us is a young adult. He provides the muscles for the luggages while the weak knee senior climb up slowly. Other than these, no other negative comment.
- Nicola (8/5): Thoroughly enjoyed this stay. I also enjoyed the vegetarian soup on offer at the restaurant. - The room was spacious and recently remodeled. I loved the 70s vibe.

- Coreen (9/5): A little out of central Hobart but a pleasant walk into the city, can Uber back. - Located about 2.5-3km from the centre of the city. From Federal Street it is a pleasant downhill walk along busy Elizabeth Street. Room and bathroom spacious. Friendly receptionist helped carry luggage upstairs as no lift. Quiet room.
- Joy (10/5): Helpful friendly staff. Nice meal. - The location is excellent as it is a easy drive to return rental cars or catch a flight
- Deborah (10/5): Better than expected - Busy time in Hobart with this pub/hotel one of our only options - a good decision. Free parking, good pub restaurant and the room newly refurbished. The room was big with everything we needed, bathroom was new with a good shower. Staff were friendly and efficient. All good
- David (8/5): Good value - Close to Hobart and the airport. Spacious and clean room. Bistro food was great. Had to run the gauntlet of smokers to get to the room.
- Thomas (9/5): - good meals in restaurant stairs
- Isabella (9/5): -
- Shamayne (5/5): Overall good place to stay for an overnight or two. Staff were friendly and they offer a discount on food if you stay th - The size of the room was great. Lots of room for luggage and didn’t feel like you were tripping over things. The bathroom was big and spacious, the shower pressure was great. The bed was uncomfortable, could feel the separation between the two single beds. Felt like a hard pole.
No subtle lighting for reading, it was bright lights on all the time or not lights at all.
- Karen (8/5): -

- Richard (8/5): - Die Zimmer sind geräumig sauber und die Lage ist man kann das meiste zu Fuss erreichen und das Auto stehen lassen Hobart Pier ist etwa 2.5 Km entfernt.
- Katherine (9/5): Great stay. Close to town. Good value. - Great stay thanks
- Tracy (6/5): Basic but clean accommodation close to Salamanca Market & Mona Ferry - The Steak was surprisingly good. Most accommodation has a hair dryer. Black Buffalo did not. I feel this is an essential item that should be added to all rooms.
- Amber (9/5): - Letto comodo e grande Sarebbe utile un microonde in camera.
- Noma (8/5): - Bed was a bit hard
- Niclas (6/5): -

- Elizabeth (9/5): I will stay here again. - Friendly staff, good size room, comfortable bed & pillows, glasses kept in fridge were nice on a warm day. Spacious bathroom, nice shower pressure. I had some difficulty releasing the blinds down, there was a knot in the cord, so I thought I'd just close the drapes, but they wouldn't close all the way. I felt a bit exposed as I was on the ground floor.

- Eva (9/5): - Quiet. Clean lovely staff Could use some freshen I up
- miao (8/5): 性价比不错,位置也很好,只是环境稍差。 - 位置极好,停车方便,自带餐饮、酒吧、游戏厅、酒水商店,不远处就是主街,生活方便,附近有多个加油站,离机场17公里。 隔音不太好,有些尴尬。

- rudi (8/5): サクッと心地よく泊まれるアコモデーション - チェックイン、セルフチェックアウトがスムーズ。スタッフもとても感じが良かったです。部屋が綺麗で、広くて明るくて、とても良かったです。 下がレストランのせいか、建物に入った時にタバコのにおいがしました。リフトがなく、荷物を階段で2階まで持っていかなければならない。
- Michal (9/5): może być - wygodne lozko, duzy pokoj i lazienka, restauracja na parterze, otwieralne okna, czysto glosno z dworu sprzed budynku, smrod papierosow od palaczy sprzed wejscia do hotelu wlatywal do pokoju, brak windy, cienkie sciany i drzwi miedzy pokojami (chrapanie sasiada zza sciany nas budzilo), koszmarne oswietlenie w lazience, daleko od komunikacji miejskiej
