Our Reviews

Good: Good value, friendly staff, super comfortable bed, convenient location to where I needed to be, clean and tidy, portable cot available when requested.

Bad: Can be noisy if there’s a function, but it is a pub so that kind of goes hand in hand with it and didn’t worry me at all.

Good: The bed was very comfortable and room was clean.

Bad: It was quite noisy from downstairs on my first night, I didn’t stay for the second night I booked. Also when checking in I was notified of your policy change that the breakfast packs are only complimentary if I booked direct.

These rooms do everything I need. Close to where I need to be for my meeting, so all good.

I was a little concerned when I looked up to see the smoke alarm was covered in toilet paper. Told the guys downstairs. Not much else I can do about that. They know who stayed in the room prior to me, so I won't get charged for doing it.

Otherwise all good.

The bathroom window and the kitchen widows didn’t shut properly so we had to stuff towels in the gap so we didn’t freeze having a shower. The exhaust fan in the shower was filthy. No parking for hotel guest when the bistro was full we had to come out later in the night and move the car onsite.

Happy to conserve water and energy, but do actually need hot water for my shower. The supply of water was limited which is okay as a water saving measure, but when the hot water is below body temp and you don't need to add cold water it makes for a poor shower experience.

Good: Two streets away from where I grew up in the average working class streets of Moonah, the light industrial capital of Tassy the Carlyle Hotel was once my regular watering hole and band venue. It is every bit of that today but accomodation is not their forte and neither is it anyone’s only job except for the part time cleaner. Room service is part of a bar staff duties and breakfast comes in a box not the bistro the Carlyle is so we’ll known for. Gaming is where this pub’s profits lie not accomodation. There are dedicated smoking areas, a kids play area, a bottle shop and very helpful, friendly staff. To be honest we had a pleasant and very quiet stay. Checking in was a disappointment. The website photos were deceiving and taken with a fish eyes lens which makes the rooms look a lot bigger than they are. We booked a King Studio for $75pn. It was the cheapest and best value around bar none. The key deposit was $200 and you only get one set. There is a key for the main door and a key for your room. Annoyingly only one person can go wandering because without the keys there’s no way you’ll get back in past the solid slam shut security doors and into your room. Right on the main road the trick is to get a room at the back of the complex away from constant noisy 9-5 traffic. There’s no lift to the first floor accomodation but it does seems they cater for those with limited sight with room numbers 500mm tall. Why? Even the manager Andrew didn’t know. Unfortunately we got slogged a $200 cleaning fee which we negotiated down to $100. Apparently the room smelt of vomit but it certainly wasn’t ours. Smoking in the rooms is an indictable offence and they make no bones about their $500 cleaning fee if they smell smoke. This was by far the cheapest accomodation I’ve had in greater Hobart. If you’re after a bargain this is as good as It gets. Next to the public bus state interchange.

Bad: Accomodation is not their primary focus and handled from the bar. Getting towels took a while. Breakfast that is included comes in a box not the bistro. The website photos mixed the different rooms into one gallery. Mostly taken with a fish eye lens that made the rooms look much bigger than they actually were. The metal keys and the heavy security doors with a hefty $200 loss charge. Accomodation is managed by bar staff.
