Guest Reviews
- LUCIA VERONICA (10/5): lovely stay - The host is super friendly! it was my second time in Lowena. The place is perfect if you want a lovely stay, near to the city with a private parking and delicious breakfast. .
- Zinzan (10/5): Kevin is an excellent host! -
- Jessica (3/5): -
- Dietmar (9/5): - Die Unterkunft liegt etwas außerhalb des Zentrums. Ehemaliges Cafe, Umfeld etwas vernachlässigt, aber der Inhaber ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Individuelles Frühstück toll gemacht. Danke! Zimmer etwas abgelebt, aber man kann es akzeptieren.
- Keisha (10/5): Amazing! Keving was incredibly hospitable and accommodating. - The furnishings were so totally cute! No heating (we’re from fnq)
- Jeff Smith (8/5): great - Breakfast
- Narelle (7/5): -
- Emma (9/5): -
- Jenisha (8/5): -
- Timur Olegovich (9/5): - Это просто старый дом, переделанный для сдачи комнат. Туалет и ванная обшие на этаже. Кевин - хозяин дома, выходец из Китая, довольно отзывчивый, он же делает завтраки с 6 до 8 утра. Жарит яйца, тост и кофе, можно наестся, один раз предложил нам сделать вторую порцию и мы не стали отказываться Матрас был пролёжен, одеяло очень жаркое, спал под пледом. Расположен не очень удачно, полчаса пешком от центра, где вся движуха. Я был без авто, поэтому изрядно находился. Если чуть добавите денег, то лучше выберите ибис)
- Jason (6/5): -
- Monique (10/5): -
- TJ (4/5): - Kevin war sehr nett und das Frühstück richtig lecker. Das Haus selbst ist sehr schön und hat eigentlich viel Potential. Einrichtung ist definitiv in die Jahre gekommen! Die Sauberkeit lässt sehr zu wünschen übrig mit dreckiger Bettwäsche/ Laken, Handtüchern mit Flecken, Dreck auf dem Teppichboden, überall Staub aus mindestens mehreren Monaten. Leider entsprechen nicht der Realität.
- Michele (8/5): Comfortable stay close to the city with a good breakfast. - We arrived late due to a flight delay & had no problem checking in. Kevin was always available & helpful. The breakfast that he cooked was enough to last us until dinner. Everything was clean & the bed was comfortable. The property is a 20min walk to town. It feels like a home stay. The room was a bit cluttered.
- Hayley (8/5): Comfy,convenient and close to town & you're staying in a part of history of Hobart - The breakfast & coffee send off that Kevin cooks U in the morning is quite amazing!! Room definitely needs a smart tv as tv reception constantly cuts in and out and there's good wifi there these days everyone is streaming shows or going on YouTube,would be much better 😉
- 増田紀子 (9/5): - 親切で明るいホスト お部屋も広くシーツなど清潔 シャワーのお湯の水圧が弱い、お湯がなかなか出てこない
- Princess (6/5): Convenient - Kevin was an excellent host. He met us at the door. He was lovely to talk to. The location was great to get to downtown Hobart with busses going either direction close by. The room we were in felt like an add on room. Very dark and not entirely clean. Glasses and countertops were not clean. The toilet was not fully cleaned. Electrical fittings are not well done. The room was not what it looked like in the advertisement.
- Ellie (10/5): -
- DonnaT (8/5): Quirky House, Great Host, Good location - We loved our host Kevin, so happy and very informative. He cooked us a wonderful breakfast every morning. Great fresh brewed coffee. Kevin told us about daily events in Hobart, markets, festivals etc. The accommodation is dated and could do with a tidy up. Grounds were overgrown. But rooms and bathroom were clean, good towels and comfy bed.
- Martin (5/5): Decent cheap stay in old guesthouse style accommodation. - Rooms were nice size and shape, and the house has a certain amount of historic character. Kevin was very friendly and did a great job at offering a good breakfast even at 6.30am! The house was a bit too scruffy and in need of general maintenance. Rooms facing the street were quite noisy. The whole experience felt like a cheap hostel.
- Mareike (8/5): Decent hotel with VERY comfy beds - I really liked the firmness of the mattress and the high quality of the bed linen. Helped to get some good sleep. Kevin, the host was welcoming and always approachable by text message/call. Including a decent breakfast. The property/building looks almost neglected, but the interior of the house is pretty nice and good. Even though we had a good experience, the stay lacked something: the room felt a little carelessly prepared (the leaflets and magazines were a messy pile, the towels carelessly folded, bed linen not smoothed out), the shared bathrooms provided shampoo, but no body wash. Overall, it felt like a hotel "in the making" ;-).
- Lincoln (8/5): -
- Nils (8/5): - Das Frühstück und der Café waren richtig gut. Die Lage war nicht optimal und der Teppich im Zimmer war leider relativ alt.
- Christine (8/5): Loved my stay and would definitely stay again! - Very interesting historic house and out building converted into accommodation, set in an overgrown garden. Very welcoming and responsive host! Great breakfast, coffee , newspapers and hospitality. The property needs some upgrading, some repairs and the garden looks neglected which is unfortunately off putting on arrival.
- Robyn (10/5): A really lovely place to stay with a great host who can’t do enough for you. Fantastic location. Would definitely stay - This property was lovely. Comfortable bed, Kevin was a gem of a host. His hospitality was sublime. My only criticism was that the water in the shower stopped whilst showering. May struggle is someone else is using it but it came back on. That’s my only fault.
- Kim (9/5): -
- susan (1/5): The worst place ever and I would like a refund. - Nothing It was a dump. There were no windows to look out of, the furniture looked as though it was brought in from the street, the whole place needed a lot of money spending on it to even make it worth considering staying here. We booked what was advertised as a one bedroom villa and there was no bedroom it was a studio that felt like a large cupboard. I couldn’t eat the breakfast that was served in the worst dining area I have ever paid to sit in. I’m unsure whether the finishes around some of the electrical sockets would ever pass a safety test. The grounds are disgusting and I can honestly say that this is the worst place I have ever stayed in despite reviews on Booking. Com scoring it an 8. The reviews on Trip Adviser are far more realistic and just as damming as mine. We did tell the owner we wouldn’t be giving a good review but he just said ok and asked us to pay.
- Paul (8/5): Quirky fun relaxing good priced close to town accommodation - Great comfortable soft bed , Kevin gave us a nice cooked breakfast and was helpful with directions etc , quite a quirky interesting place , meeting new friendly people at bfast A few small things like water pressure, new units getting built at back so garden needs attention but still will go back 👍
- Keetah (10/5): Fantastic value for money, comfy and clean, beautiful breaky and lovely host. - Kevin was a great host! Our room was clean and the bed was comfy. Walking distance to where we wanted to head to but the best part was the breakfast the next morning! Thanks so much Kevin, we will back!
- King (7/5): -
- Patrick (10/5): -
- Anabel (9/5): -
- Isabel (5/5): Comfy and functional but house needed repairs and a deep clean - Offered a full breakfast which we weren’t expecting! Kevin the host was very enthusiastic and super helpful - we loved him. The beds were very clean and extremely comfy. The house was dingy and in disrepair and there was dust on most of the surfaces, cracks in the walls etc. the place is very much in need of a renovation and hasn’t been very well cared for.
- Emily (2/5): Disappointed as we were ignored and the owner doesn’t explain the mouldy condition of the property. - Affordable Mouldy, dusty, uninhabitable. Smells musty. Room was caked with dust and I’m sure it hasn’t been vacuumed in a long time. Bathroom is mouldy, wasn’t sure where I could put a towel. We didn’t stay any of the nights we booked and the owner ignored our messages requesting a refund. It is not as clean as it appears in the photos. I ended up just booking a nearby hotel and paying the extra money for a decent nights sleep.
- Gloria (8/5): - Kevin was a fantastic host! Super enthusiastic and happy about his job. He personally cooked breakfast for us and added everything to our personal requests. Also, walls are thick and bed is high quality so we sleep well! Just a little further from the city and a little hard to find the entrance
- Jasmine (9/5): Lovely host - The host Kevin was wonderful, very attentive and made a fresh breakfast and coffee for each guest as they arrived to the dining room. Parking was tight, difficult to navigate.
- chrisinireland (10/5): Charming, comfy and friendly place! - Kevin was a friendly and gracious host. Charming little B+B….clean, comfy and the breakfast was fabulous and plentiful! Kevin made everything to order, using fresh local ingredients. So delicious! The price was very reasonable, along with free WiFi. And they had free parking out back, a real bonus in the city! We will definitely stay there next time we are in Hobart! Nothing! Wouldn’t change anything.
- Stephen (9/5): Quirky convenient accommodation with super friendly staff! - The location is great. Kevin was an amazing host and breakfast was amazing. The price was also super reasonable. It was a little old and could do with some love, but for the price I’m not complaining.
- Agata (9/5): - Kevin is a great host. Location is perfect. Room was a good size and comfortable Bathroom needs a hood scrub
- Haan (3/5): - The location was central and the bed was comfortable The room was not as expected- shark, the blinds were almost falling apart, the room was very hot and there was no aircon. It felt like a hostel with the people always around in the common areas.
- Felipe (8/5): -
- Sandra (10/5): Kevin is an absolute gem, just like his B&B 😊 - This property was perfectly located for exploring Hobart, close enough to walk to the city centre and nice and quiet away from city noise. Kevin made our stay so enjoyable, he’s the perfect host and makes a great breakfast. Would highly recommend this place for great value for money and supporting a local business. Nothing
- Chaouki (9/5): - Kevin is very nice person and he treated all guests with fabulous manner. The accommodation was very good, clean and well located. NA
- Duncan (10/5): If I were to go back again to Hobart, I wouldn’t even hesitate to stay there again. Kevin really was wonderful in every - Firstly, the host Kevin was very accommodating, literally and figuratively speaking. He had wonderful energy and was always generous with his time. Also, I have to say he cooks a mean breakfast and if you are thinking of going on a diet, forget it! You be leaving hungry, that’s for sure. The property itself had a lot of character and was situated in a very good part of Hobart. There was nothing that I disliked about the property. If anything, a shower caddy would be a good addition to have in the bathroom.
- Nadia_Elena (10/5): Descanso reparador - Todo!!! Hermoso lugar y mas linda atencion 🫰 muchas gracias Kevin!! Estacionamiento disponible, facilidades para realizar check in y desayuno delicioso. La habitacion era grande y la cama comodísima!
- David (8/5): Very convenient - breakfast in the morning No where to dry clothes
- Mahony (7/5): - Enjoyed Kevin's smiling face each morning. Good central location All fine
- Sue (3/5): Disappointing, would not recommend - Kevin is a genial host. Location is convenient. Shabby, unmaintained, endless amateur renovations poorly completed. Garden overgrown. Photos on website inaccurate.
- Kavidhra (3/5): Disappointing - Kevin the host was absolutely lovely and accomodating. The room looked nothing like the pictures. To the point where I wonder if the property breaches Australian consumer laws. I’m surprised at the many positive reviews because the 4-5 people that we met at breakfast during our 4 night stay agreed that the property was very unkempt.
- Caroline (7/5): - Walking distance to CBD. Secure Parking. Enjoyed breakfast meeting different people who staying there. Cleanliness could be better.
- Emilie (8/5): - The room was pretty comfortable and Kevin is a great host!
- Play (10/5): Surprising good value and attractive - Good value. Bed was comfortable, sheets and pillows were good quality, warm, tv, downstairs use of kitchen, fabulous breakfast.Handy location, host helpful and friendly. Could have had small amount of milk in the kitchen frig.
- Tracey Dyer (5/5): -
- Liam (10/5): Comfortable heritage stay - Pleasant heritage building that certainly didn’t lack for modern comfort. Everything was clean and Kevin was incredibly accommodating. Front gate needs a bit of a tune-up
- David (8/5): - Location Nothing
- Mairead (10/5): Brilliant stay! Everything was easy and the place is lovely. Would definitely stay again! - Wonderful location, clean and comfortable room with a great view, free on-site parking, delicious breakfast and lovely garden out the front to enjoy. Kevin was very helpful and friendly. Nothing
- MohammadKarim (9/5): - We liked the location, Kevin was very kind, his brakfast and coffee were great, The time that we were in Hobart, the weather was very cold and not many tourists , so it was a little boring and we were alone in the hostle, Not crowded, no one at property ,
- Pilar (9/5): -
- Rosie (9/5): Great - Staff very accommodating
- Koh (7/5): -
- Dionne (8/5): Friendly owner and lovely breakfast - Kevin was really helpful and friendly. Even though just my husband and I stayed he kindly allowed my son to join us for breakfast which we appreciated. Once Kevin has finished building the apartments outside the room it will be lovely although it didn’t disturb us in any way.
- BO RONG (7/5): Soso - 老闆人很好 會說中文 提供早餐 環境偏舊髒 但市區房價也高 所以個人取捨
- Alejandra (7/5): - La casa está bien y la habitación y baños también. Kevin muy amable conmigo en todo momento y mucha compañía en los desayunos.
- Dana (7/5): - Spacious room and facilities. Really practical, a great base for exploring Hobart. Kevin, the owner, was super helpful! The property is due for an upgrade or a deep clean! For example, shower was grimey. It wouldn’t stop me going back though.
- David (8/5): -
- Brett (10/5): Excellent accommodation and breakfast - very happy! - Loved the stay, host was very accomodating and would stay again!
- Mingchieh (10/5): - We had a lovely stay in Hobart at Lowena Cafe and Accommodation. The host was very kind and welcoming, which made our trip even more enjoyable. We feel lucky to have found such a nice place to stay. The breakfast was delicious and a great way to start the day. Highly recommended!
- Anna (10/5): Excellence , Fabolous and beautiful - I like everything , Kev was the best host
- Amelia (7/5): Excellent stay, Kevin was very accomodating -
- fontyn (9/5): Great location and character with a delicious breakfast cooked by an awesome host. - I loved the character of the furniture which really suited the room. The location was fantastic and the host, Kevin, was awesome. He cooked a delicious breakfast each morning according to my preferences and was very hospitable.
- Darryl (9/5): Superb -
- Tatiana (8/5): Very good - The host was Amaizing I got parking We were happy
- Amelia (8/5): Very good -
- Felipe (7/5): Good -
- Kathiana (8/5): Very good - Delicious breakfast. Kevin was an amazing n host and the shared kitchen is big and has everything you need
- Anishika (6/5): - Kevin is a wonderful host who makes a delightful breakfast. The rooms themselves are a good size however do smell a bit musty and the carpets have some stains. The bathroom facilities were good. The parking situation and the outside of the house are unkempt and look a little unsafe. The location is fantastic, literally up the road from the CBD so you can walk to local eateries for dinner.
- Amelie (6/5): It is alright. Beds are comfortable, Kevin is a good host. But everything seemed to be a bit out of date and the shower - Location Got cold
- Morena (10/5): This place is convenient, comfortable and laid back with no fuss...and the host is a lovely Man. - Kevin is a fantastic host and cook! I will continue to book with him again, even though I didn't get a chance to stay with him this time round because of the bad weather. Not being able to be there for Kevin's beautiful breakfast.
- Daniel (8/5): Very good -
- Natasha (8/5): - We stayed in the cottage, which is spacious and secure, with its own private bathroom. The cottage is also equipped with stove, microwave, and everything you need to make a hot meal. It featured a full-sized fridge with freezer you could stock with the excellent local produce. The property is located in easy walking distance to the Wharf and city centre. We were greeted and tended to by Kevin, who was very personable and welcoming. Each morning, the breakfast (included) was cooked up by Kevin to our taste! We had a wonderful weekend in Hobart and enjoyed staying at Lowena Cafe & Accommodation.
- Bruce (5/5): Passable -
- Thomas (10/5): Great place to stay in Hobart - The bed was large and very comfortable, Kevin was a very welcoming host and the breakfast was very nice. It was easy to walk to the waterfront and the battery, I had a really great stay, I highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Hobart. Nothing really, a very good budget hotel, maybe occasional noise from the road if I had to say one thing.
- Lilian (6/5): Pleasant but could be improved - Location excellent. Bed comfy. Host pleasant. TV reception bad. More choices for breakfast eg yoghurt, fruit. The temperature in the breakfast room very cold, no heating.No coffee/ tea making facilities in room.
- Stanley (6/5): Pleasant -
- Lesleigh (9/5): Kevin was such an amazing host and exceeded our expectations by far - The proximity to the places we were mainly visiting and the coziness of the house Tight parking. But that’s due to renovations so understandable
- Graham (8/5): o'nite stopover - Night away,before heading home after holiday
- Nyssa (9/5): Superb - Grateful to the lovely host, Kevin, for allowing early check in. Hot breakfast included. Very comfy bed. The beds, toilets, and kitchen are all cleaned well, but other areas (shower, etc) need attention.
- Sylvie (9/5): Perfect welcoming accommodation in Hobart. - Kevin was so welcoming and reactive by message before our stay. The villa is on the side of the main side, away enough from the road to be quiet. Kevin's breakfasts were amazing, organic. The place was perfect as close to the centre and also close to university of Tasmania Sandy Bay campus. Nothing.
- Anneliese (7/5): Great breakfast, comfortable stay. Could be a bit cleaner. - Kevin is very friendly
- Sreenivasan (8/5): Very good -
- Julia (7/5): Unfortunately not clean. Owner was lovely. - The location and free parking Cleanliness, value for money.
- Bre (7/5): Good -
- Verified traveler (6/5): Ok for a night or two - Ok stay for a night or two, a bit run down and needs a bit of maintenance and a good clean. Beds were clean and our room spacious. Kevin is a friendly host but really feel this place could be awesome with a good clean, fresh carpet and paint.
- Stephen (4/5): Kevin the host was friendly and made us very welcome - Breakfast was ok Property was poorly presented, with noisy busy road frontage and lacked sound proofing.
- Jason (10/5): Exceptional - Kevin was very friendly and welcoming. He made a scrumptious breakfast and bottomless cappacino. Fantastic value for money and a great location.
- Zelmar (5/5): Comfy bed, great venue, loads of potential - needs a bit of work. - The bed was very comfortable and the staff was welcoming and quick to respond to any questions or enquiries. The location is great - walking distance to plenty of great locations. Check in and check out process was easy. This property has loads of potential. The property is definitely aging and could use some TLC. Unfortunately this non-smoking property, smelt of cigarette smoke. We came home from a day out to find the entire property smelt of smoke, particularly our bathroom. When I enquired about this, I was advised that it was the first time this complaint had been raised, and that it was likely because of the weather. The smell persisted for the duration of our stay, but was not as strong. All said, the property has loads of potential.
- Sullivan (8/5): Great location, the host Kevin was terrific - Great Brekky, heaps of coffies 👌 Tad noisy
- Jennifer (8/5): Very good - Excellent cooked breakfast. Fun meeting other guests over breakfast. better mattress
- Jade (10/5): Thank you Kevin for having us! Next time we are in Hobart we will be back - We loved our stay at Lowena! Kevin was so welcoming and accommodating. It was nice to meet other people while eating our breakfast. It’s a great place and location! Nothing!
- Susan (7/5): Good - Great location, easy walk being close to city and restaurants. Kevin host was friendly and served good breakfast. A bit dated and needs to be cleaner.
