Guest Reviews

• Dawn (2/5): - I would not give it a rating or stay. As I wanted to book two rooms for 2 people with disabilities and noticed the stairs, I rang the property. I was told they had rooms where there would only be a couple of stairs, so I booked the rooms.on arriving at the property, I saw how many stairs there were into each room, they had also booked us into two rooms in the main house with over twenty stairs. I rang the owners, who had already taken the money out of my credit card and refused to give even a partial refund. The male owner then abused me over the phone, I was so upset that I hung up.
• Rachel (4/5): - The property had walls so thin i could hear all the guests conversations on the top level. I phoned the hotel before making booking and explained i have a walking disability but was told there will be only 4 stairs into hotel room. That is a lie, there is 6 stairs to reception level and then 20 to the level we needed to be on. The room was dirty. Bed uncomfortable and only 1 pillow that was flat. I had to use my jumper as a pillow cause nothing else.provided.
• Julie (4/5): - Very old. Not very big. Stairs only.
• scott (2/5): - Our room was not cleaned from the last people who stayed. Bedding didnt smell clean and it had stains on the Bedding. The bin wasn't empty from previous people as there was used ladies personal hygiene in it. Under bed had food and someone undies left there. Would not recommend this place
• Rita (8/5): - Old world charm
• Dianne (6/5): - The smell from the bathroom wasn't great. The toilet seat was old and dirty around the fixtures.. Overpriced for what you got.. Limited kitchen facilities and nowhere to sit inside.. .not worth the money Bed was ok
• Lance (4/5): - Very dated, small rooms, narrow staircase. Did not meet our expectations.
• John (4/5): - The room was very small, just able to accommodate the queen bed. The bathroom was tiny, like an elongated telephone booth. The fan in the bathroom Tastic didn't work. The sliding door to the bathroom covered the GPO when in the open position. The fridge (also tiny) freezer compartment was iced up and unusable. The stair access to our room (12) exceeded 15 steps in a single flight and I doubt would comply with BCA. There was no sound insulation between the rooms. At $147/night the room was ridiculously overpriced. I expect that Amos House will be the most disappointing accommodation of our 2 week road tour around Tasmania.
• Jane (6/5): - unfortunately for such a great location the facilities were not clean
• Kathryn (4/5): - The room was very small,no air conditioning, the bathroom fan was filthy
• Peter (6/5): - Ok ordinary, no food, not generous with tea and coffee, good restaurant down the road.
• Joe (6/5): - Compact room and bathroom. Upstairs access.
• Robert (8/5): - Property is well located with easy access to the towns facilities and comfortable.
• Michael (6/5): - Good location centrally in Swansea. An older style hotel but you get what you expect and what you pay for so it was comfy and convenient for the night. We had a minor maintenance issue when we checked into our room and the owner was apologetic and helpful in moving us to another one.
• Paul (4/5): - Right in town
• Bill (2/5): - stay at your own risk...photos on wotif do not show how small & inadequate the facilities are the motels & wotif need to advise if a room is upstairs before the purchaser confirms the booking would I stay at Amos again...not even if you paid me, I would travel further & stay elsewhere
• Richard (4/5): - Bates motel comes to mind
• Leigh (6/5): - It was a nice getaway but we stayed in room 9 and came in late and every step to our room on the main hose creeped it was impossible to sneak up the stair but overall good quiet place
• Haritha (4/5): - Room seems very old and blankets , towels also look old. May be the Villas are better but the Room and the bathroom is very congested. Looks cheaper compared to what we paid for other accommodations but the price is same.
• Dana (2/5): - I got really frustrated trying to cancel before the deadline, because we were not able to get there. I ended up having to pay for it although we couldn't use it.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Ok for a day but maybe not so comfortable if staying longer. Nice view though
• Christine (8/5): - Very clean and comfortable. Well situated near and restaurants. very close to the beach.
• Harold (6/5): - The wifi was non existent and the room size was extremely small
• Brett (4/5): - Room was very small and compact, TV did not work, fridge thermostat was broken and ran 24/7 and froze all our items, lots of noise from neighbouring shops.
• Shane (6/5): - Q
• Kayla (10/5): - Amazing views and location, lovely staff and service!
• Heidi (2/5): - Never again! Shoebox room, no sound proofing,unfriendly, unhelpful man in reception.
• Kevin (6/5): - Could not wait to leave. Narrow steep stairs killed the knees and hip, light in bathroom didn’t work, building smoke alarm going off in the middle of the night waking all tenants and no explanation from owner or coming to check on cause of alarm. Won’t be back.
• Shawn (10/5): - I enjoyed my stay very much. The location next to the sea was very quiet and calming, as I could hear the beautiful sounds of the sea. The staff was so wonderful and helpful. I left a small bag and they were able to ship it to my next hotel through the post, which was so extremely kind and helpful of them. The customer service is wonderful. Thank you so much for everything, Swansea Villas!
• Barbara (2/5): - Very unfriendly staff. Tv did not work. Staff accused us of tampering with it but when they replaced it with another Tv that didn't work either. 🤔
• Pam (2/5): - Refrigerator had old blood in it from a previous lodger and the floor had not been vacuumed as there was black hair on the floor. The staircase was unsafe for elderly. Not sure what would have happened if there had been a fire!!
• John (8/5): - Convenient base for visiting East Coast- Coles Bay, Bicheno and St Helens. Property had been nicely refurbished and was clean.
• Wendy (6/5): - View was lovely. Everything else was average
• Philip (8/5): - The room was clean, freshly painted, bright and comfortable. Nice view of the sea (through the carpark) from the balcony. Within walking distance of the Bark Mill (a great place for dinner). The only downside was there was a bit of a mix up with the booking, but the gentleman at the desk sorted it out. Apart from that it was a great stay.
• Elizabeth (2/5): - I wrote to you from the property complaining about the size and condition of the room. I was told I would get a reply within 24 hours but this has not happened. This was the worse room I have stayed in throughout many years of travelling in many countries
• Tracey (6/5): Accomodation to explore the area - Check in was fine, room was very compact, but fairly comfortable. However the room was not serviced each day, particularly to take away dirty cups etc, and there were no supplies to wash them yourself. Some of the crockery was dirty before we used it as well.
• Steven (6/5): - The property was disappointing, stairs were tricky, small rooms. Glad not to be staying there more than what we did
• Diane (4/5): - Extremely small. Reasonably clean but old and needs renovating. Unfriendly reception staff on arrival. Room was cold and heating was noisy and inadequate. A security light in the car park came on at about 3am and STAYED ON! This light shone through to wake us each night! However good location and close to everything but we were happy to leave.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Our room overlooked the bay with large windows. A balcony to enjoy a wine at the end of the day was a bonus. We enjoyed every moment of being there.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Rooms are adequate but tiny and the bed is only double sized.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Light, airy, comfortable and very clean. All that is needed for a brief stay.
• Oliver (4/5): not my type of accommodation - Not a great first impression. Did not seem very friendly or welcoming, however check in was quick and there was parking on site. The room decor and smell were not to my liking, floorboards were creaking, the bin was not emptied to but the worst part was find chocolate pieces and hair on the bed! Did not use the other amenities other than those in the bathroom - shower, towels, toilet, sink - which seemed clean. There was no disturbance at night from other guests (if any) despite the walls being pretty thin. Check out was a quick drop key in the box. Not likely to stay there again as it seems more targeted to pre 1980s guests.
• Claire (8/5): - The property was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Good storage space in. the bedrooms. Overall pleasing venue.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Lovely Budget Accommodations right beside the beach. Would have been nice to have the cafe open but the local cafe's were open nearby.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location, friendly helpful staff, cosy rooms, comfy beds. Everything you need . *****
• Brendan (8/5): - Neat & tidy , comfy beds. unfortunatley found a empty pizza carton with scraps of food left in room.
• Malgosia (8/5): Travel - Dated but overall okay motel close to shops.
• Celia (8/5): Fantastic location near everything - Great location and near the ocean too. Close to shops . Walls a bit thin so could hear next door but didn’t bother us too much . Earplugs come in handy when traveling!
• Ray (10/5): - Great views quiet location easy to locate property
• Jose (6/5): Smelly bedroom - The motel is located on a nice spot with great sea views. One of the bedrooms smelled really bad, like if somebody forgot a French cheese inside for one month
• Jill (8/5): - Good location and small but pleasant room. Swansea is such a lovely town.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Very old decor, very small room for 2 beds, outside room smelt of cigars, definitely overpriced. Lack of people staying there must show how accomodation was Not up to standard in other places we had stayed. View was beautiful Would not recommend
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Apart from the night I slept on an airport departure lounge floor 2 nights here on a double bed that is so old the inner springs have collapsed would have to be our worst we have slept in in 40 years of traveling. The walls are so thin you can hear next door snoring,there are no block out curtains so you get security lights all night. Inconsiderate staff socializing in the dinning room directly under our room until 1 am in the morning which only stopped when I went downstairs and complained.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Property was well located staff were helpful we received an upgrade with our three day stay
• Verified traveler (6/5): - We stayed in the main house. The rooms have signs up asking you to be quiet and consider others, you feel like a teenager in your parents home. We could hear people cough or sneeze in the rooms either side of us. No one was intenially noisy but you could hear every conversation from the other rooms. I got no sleep and the next morning said to the staff I did not want to stay a second night, the answer was pretty much "suck eggs".
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Convenient hotel located down town Swansea. nothing fancy, but do the job
• Rajen (4/5): - The wifi doesn't work at all in the room. Have to go close to the reception to get any wifi at all.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Position great, quiet and comfortable. Good view of the beach, handy to shops and park
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Proximity to beach. We had great views from our room.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Small hotel in town. Tiny room but with good view. Just stayed there as stopover so didn't expect much.
• Reby (8/5): - Location is good, house is clean. It was cold during our stay but there’s a heater provided. Appreciate staff to inform us about the surroundings and restaurants.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice view and and good for family stay.
• Andrew (10/5): - Clean and comfortable and easy walking distance to beach and town.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The view from our villa was lovely - overlooking the water; rocks and trees. Very peaceful. We would stay again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very friendly welcome by concierge, tidy, good location and very reasonable price.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Good location tho need a bigger bin and recycling in rooms and bathroom is so tiny
• Evie (4/5): - As I lay awake at 4am due to the bed springs & sinking mattress, the person across the hall coughing & the person next door snoring - I thought I don’t think I’ve stayed in a place that didn’t come close to the description on the site. Surly men at check in that I had to ask Q’s on WiFi, where to eat etc. Narrow stairs to get to the rooms, if you have heavy luggage, forget it! Floor boards creak, thin walls, place smells, very outdated. Positive - it’s clean.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Great location in town with beautiful view. However needed a better clean. Dust/dirt all down and around on the surfaces and the plates and cups needed a clean.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - If you enjoy an ocean-side stay in a toasty warm cabin then this property is not for you. The rooms come with a very small heater and in the cold months it just isn't enough. A restful nights sleep can be had by all, except for the sound of the waterpipes. It sound like the property is being scanned by some alien search beam. But don't worry,it only happens between midnight and dawn. And if your lovemaking is going to be loud then you should expect that the other guests will be discussing it in the morning. Enjoy.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The view from my room over the bay was stunning , the bed was very soft though
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Large very comfortable bed. Met all of our basic requirements.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Top Views, fire place and very cosy lounge. Nice budget place over and above.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Upon arrival the staff were not overly friendly. Once I got to the room, it had a sour odour and the bed was incredibly uncomfortable. My side lamp didn’t work, the door to my room didn’t lock properly and the TV remote was very sticky. Overall this place needs some attention.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We really enjoyed our stay. Was perfect for our family, close to beach, playground and supermarket. Views were lovely! Thanks again
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Nice view from the balcony. Room very clean. Very creaky wooden floors so neighbours movement kept you awake. Bathroom basin way too small. Generally overpriced for such a small room.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The location was good however, the place is a bit dated and could be cleaner.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The property was nice and clean. Could have had a few extra powerpoints at more accessible locations.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Our room was very small. Only room to step around the bed. No chairs. MWave, fridge, tea making provided but very limited bench space. Towels not good quality. Entry and staircase to our room was very tight. We did not even attempt to carry our suitcases up the stairs. We left them in the car and only took what we absolutely needed to our room. Not enough space to open them in our room anyway. Very overpriced.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Was nice and quiet. Comfortable. What I wanted just for the night.
• Elizabeth (8/5): One night stop - Only a one night stop after driving from the airport. We arrived after they would nirmally close but I had contacted in advance so it wasn’t a problem. Room was small but adequate as we were going to be heading off early next day
• Graeme (8/5): Lovely! - Loved this place. Great location. Friendly staff.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great spot and quiet. Easy access friendly people thanks
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Room hard to get to and very cramped and small.No good for elderly people.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Disappointed in room considering there were other accommodations with similar pricing this one was a real let down for price. Also middle of the night the fan started screeching loudly and you could hear every footstep in the place.
• Ashlee (8/5): Cosy but clean and comfortable - Small room but for only 1 night it was good for all we needed. Nice view of the water from the balcony.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Room was perfectly fine. Bed comfy, room was clean. We had minimal interaction with staff (checking in and out was the only time we spoke to someone as we were attending a wedding nearby), but when we did they were friendly and helpful. Decent hotel for the price.
• Lucy (2/5): - The property is not in good condition. The front desk staff, especially the big one without glasses was very rude, impatient and unprofessional. Our room was super hot when we checked in around 4pm. When we asked whether there is air conditioning, he was irritated and seemed in very bad mood. We booked late and there was no other choice. Definitely do not recommend this property.
• Anthony (8/5): - Great location to Oyster bay and welcoming from owner who was knowledgeable Clean room without air-con. En-suite was small but usable ideal for a couple of day stay. Easy driving distance to Freycient national park and wine glass bay
• Sarah (10/5): Great owners - Owners were great. We were very late in arriving due to exploring on our way and the owners were very accommodating. The place was perfect and wonderful location. Would definitely recommend.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Stayed here in the 9th of January the room smelt and the bed was that old and uncomfortable ended up sleeping in the floor so the misses could sleep on it

• Verified traveler (6/5): Okay, not fantastic - A little dated, no Wi-Fi
• Roy (6/5): - Excellent position in the town of Swansea great walks for scenery and cafes.shops
• Verified traveler (4/5): - meant to be villas but it was a hotel room instead. walls are paper thin, floors creaky, plumbing made noises all night, access up a skinny set of stairs. cheap but not great!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Small but pleasant hotel close to everything. Some water views from the balcony.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great views of the ocean, close to shops, and walking along the beach.
• Ann (8/5): - Good size for four. Close to beach, shops and activities.
