- Glynne (9/5): Love the hotel'the staff were great .Great location and parking was a must . - didn't have breakfast When you went to the bathroom and put the light it " made "a sound . Not very good if you get up in the middle of the night . So we left the light on all night so we didn't wake each other up ,We think there was a icon on the mirror which turned it off .Why ??????
- Lisa (9/5): Right in the middle of an historic area close to the waterfront. - Modern, warm, clean and the most wonderful location. Above a pub but we didn’t hear very much actually.

- Kah Hoe (10/5): -
- Monique (8/5): - Staff were very friendly. Clean and comfortable. Great location. Nothing
- Shepherd (10/5): - Excellent location. Walking distance to Salamanca. Excellent coffee shops and restaurants a few metres away. The food at the hotel was exceptional and the service great.
- Susan (10/5): -
- Phoebe (10/5): Perfect stay! - We loved our room and location! Exceptional stay!
- Teegan (10/5): -
- Joanne (10/5): Perfect intro to Hobart - The rooms have been beautifully renovated. Huge comfy bed and lovely clean modern bathrooms.
I was met warmly on arrival and check-in is easy.. my room had a view towards Mt Wellington and surrounded by all the lovely old original cottages of the area. Despite being above a pub, it was very quiet in the room and I never had any trouble with noise. Plenty of tea and coffee options in your room with a kettle and a coffee pod machine. Small fridge and two small complimentary travel sized milk cartons. All of it refreshed everyday when the room is cleaned.
The Kelly street steps are at the bottom of the street which will take you right into Salamanca Square and the water front. It's a bit of a steep walk back but nothing that can't be done just taking your time and soaking up the surroundings of Battery Point.
Across the road in a little blue house is a coffee shop that made the best coffee I've ever had where I would start my day.
I will definitely stay at the Prince of Wales again and recommend this hotel highly. There is also ample parking for guests that have cars.
Thank you to the team for providing a fab place to base myself from for my trip 😊 There is no breakfast option but this did not bother me at all as I prefer to start my day in a cosy cafe with an excellent coffee. There are so many coffee shops and bakerys a stone's throw from the hotel so plenty of choice for breakfast.
A lot of tourists do like a breakfast option though so this is the only thing I could see people finding fault.
- Elke (9/5): It was meeting all my expectations: comfortable, clean, with a lovely view and friendly staff. - The location was just right. Our room was very comfortable with a lovely view to Mount Wellington, and staff were very friendly and accommodating.
- Biplope (9/5): -
- Corey (10/5): Best value, great location in historic area; clean and modern design. - Amazing value at a terrific location in Hobart. Rooms are ultra modern and nicely designed, clean and comfortable. Free parking was an important benefit of staying here.
- Leonard (8/5): All good - Didn’t do breakfast. Good local cafes
Good dinner
- Ella (10/5): -
- Lyn (10/5): Totally recommend (and will to friends travelling later in the year). - Location. Staff very friendly, especially Owen despite being woken by us at 6:30am on morning when we couldn't get out of the carpark! Refurbished rooms (albeit bathroom quite small). Easy walk down to Salamanca and into the CBD. Fabulous restaurants a stones throw away; Italian, Greek, Vietnamese/Thai, as well as great coffee and pastry shops. All were hosted by really friendly staff. Loved the hotel being surrounded by beautiful heritage buildings. No noise experienced during out stay from downstairs bar. Nothing.
- Jenny (10/5): I would totally recommend this hotel - friendly, helpful staff, secure off-street parking, great food & the room was - Don’t judge a book by its cover - this place was incredible! Really luxe & boutique & absolutely stunning value for money! Beautiful bed linen & towels, gorgeous l’Occitane toiletries & a Nespresso machine in the room. The staff couldn’t have been nicer or friendlier - 12/10. Also the Monday night $20 special porterhouse steak dinner was amazing value for money. Can’t recommend this place highly enough - exceptional! There is no lift, so be prepared to carry your bags upstairs. But it’s absolutely worth it!
- Guest (7/5): -
- Jesse (8/5): Amazing room in a perfect location, though damage to phone charger - Amazing room (modern, clean, serviced, comfortable, newly refurbished) and location in Battery Point, only a short walk away from Salamanca Place (with lots of restaurant/pubs). Offers a discount on food. Great cafes and restaurants neighbouring. L'occitane amenities. Onsite parking. Friendly staff. Great value. Staff damaged our phone charging cable, likely because the power points are right behind the bedside table. When making up the room, I assume they moved it out, and when moving it back, they pushed it right against our charger.
The inclusion of a tissue box, extra toilet paper and bottled hand soap (bar soap is provided) would have enhanced our experience.
Worth noting that the laundry (one machine, one heat pump dryer - longer drying time) is open 7am-9pm (assuming due to being near a guest's room).
- Carolina (10/5): Amazing stay with kids - Very neat, clean, comfortable, great location, easy to check in and out
- Andrew William (9/5): Great motel for the price in a great location! - Great location for all the sights. Really close to Salamanca market especially if you go down the steps. Friendly and helpful staff. Food was good as well! The rooms are basic but clean and well appointed.
- James L (9/5): Very handy to city centre, quiet & comfortable room. - Thanks for upgrading our room at no extra cost. quite a few steps to get to the accommodation.
- Jono (10/5): -
- Hsiao Pei (9/5): great and clean - close to city center
- Lisa (9/5): Excellent position, clean modern rooms and good restaurant - Fantastic position for walking to Salamanca, wharf and the city. Good restaurant downstairs (with guest discount) and my favourite bakery right across the road!
Room was very clean (if a little small), same with bathroom, nice and modern, very comfy bed. Air-con and opening windows were good.
Staff were all lovely, helpful and friendly.
Free on-site parking was perfect. Really nothing negative. Our room wasn't ready on arrival at 2.30pm but that wasn't a big deal for us, just had a coffee while we waited.

- Katleen (9/5): -
- Claire (10/5): Location and comfort for execellent value - This hotel is excellent value for money and delivered much higher than I had expected on first impressions at check-in in the Pub downstairs.
The room is renovated to a high standard, a Nespresso coffee machine, L’Occitane toiletries, a soap dish to hold the little hand soaps hotels give you that then slide around everywhere! a great shower, comfy bed!
Easy parking and the location in Battery point is just gorgeous. Go for a walk and check out the neighbouring houses, some great restaurants and cafes near by, and an easy walk down Kelly street stairs to Salamanca.
- Barbara (10/5): Overall we had a great stay and staff all very helpful and friendly. Would definately stay again. - Location was great and the restaurant lunch and dinner was extremely nice. Stairs and room tray needed cleaning

- Donna (8/5): Great Battery Point location surrounded by great little cafes and restaurants. - A perfect location for enjoying the best of Hobart. Some inconsiderate noisy guests however that can happen anywhere
- Tess (9/5): Will return and recommend it. Location is perfect! - Seems like it’s freshly renovated. Bed was so comfy, bathroom brand new with L’Occitane amenities. Was very surprised. Rooms is a bit small due to the bed being big. Not a complaint though you barely use the room. Not a deal breaker. Pub downstairs is not good. Don’t get seduced by it. There’s two unreal restaurants next door.
