We really enjoyed our stay at Rydges Hobart – it was the perfect hotel for a cozy winter getaway. The heritage charm, spacious rooms, and warm atmosphere made us feel right at home. It’s in a great location, close to everything yet quiet and peaceful. The staff were friendly, helpful, and genuinely charming, which added to the overall experience. We’d definitely stay here again!

A couple of minor cons: our room didn’t have air-conditioning (though some rooms might), but the heater worked perfectly for the winter chill. The water pressure in the toilet could also be improved. Despite that, I would still recommend this place!

The Rydges Hobart is an older style building but the rooms feel very homey and modern at the same time. I loved the black and white retro bathroom floor tiling. The price is very affordable for what is offered here. Staff here were very approachable and kind! The location was great and about a 10 minute drive from any restaurants or sites that we wanted to visit in Hobart city. There are plenty of parking spaces.

- When we first arrived the only way to the front reception was up a flight of stairs and the only other way in for guests was through the back entrance but you need a key card. My friend and I ended up carrying our 20kg suitcases up. After checking in we were able to use the key card to access the back of the building (with no stairs). - The on-site restaurant menu was quite pricey and the food was only okay for me.

Great location, lovely old heritage building with lots of charm and character! The size of our room was spacious and had good cooking utilities - by means of a kettle, microwave and toaster! Lovely views of Hobart city centre!

Our shower leaked when in use - flooding the bathroom which was annoying, and when we mentioned it to the staff they seemed disinterested and didn’t offer us an apology or change of room. The breakfast was below average - stale bread, and only offered scrambled eggs etc. No yogurt selections, or fried/ boiled/ poached eggs, the bacon was fatty and the mushrooms dry and cold…. limited selection of food - we would recommend eating breakfast in Hobart or finding a nice bakery instead!

Welcoming and friendly staff to greet us. It wasn't just a room more of a small apartment lovely and warm huge bathroom with twin basins water temp in shower was perfect don't know if it is pre set but it was perfect for me. Big fluffy towels. King bed was very lush and cosy. I would have liked to have explored outer builds more especially the Braille library as the whole site was originally the school for the deaf and blind back in c.1914?. Reception building is also restaurant and a bar stunning, beautiful woodwork and plaster work. Not sure how close to city centre walking or driving wise as I was not there for that. Would 100% recommend and will definitely stay here again

Only one vegan option on the menu which was disappointing it's not hard to make vegan options considering the produce we have on hand in our beautiful state. High end accommodation like this can do and should do better.

The building was interesting and unique, in quite a lovely setting. Inside was warm, clean and interesting. Loved the period pieces and references to the former purpose of the building. Dining room was really pleasant as was the lounge/bar. Dinner and breakfast was great.

The sweets were a real disappointment. I had sticky date pudding - tasted off the shelf and the butterscotch sauce tasted like plastic. Topped off with manufactured cream out of a can - awful! My friend had the apple crumble, expecting an old fashioned taste treat. Instead another commercially made product with little flavour and lots of pastry. Very disappointing to round off a lovely meal with such poor quality sweets. The only other thing was the shower was way too high and I could not lower it. Water leaked out of the onto the floor when I grappled with the hand held. My friend opted to wash at the hand basin rather than tackle the shower.

We loved our stay at this hotel which has been renovated in this historic building. Our room in the main building was fabulous with loads of windows along both the sitting area and bedroom walls with great views out over Hobart and as far as the Bay in the distance. The room (really a suite) was very comfortable and well appointed and having the fridge, kettle, sitting area was so handy. The staff were wonderful and so patient with my many questions. There are lovely historic touches all over the main hotel building including a lovely fireside bar area. We thoroughly enjoyed out very memorable stay at this lovely place - also found it walkable to waterfront and eating area and CBD in Hobart (but then we are big walkers:)) Thank-you to all the staff for your wonderful care during our visit.

Everything was amazing !!!!

Comfortable beds, spacious clean bathroom with great shower, liked the sitting room and tasteful pictures. Great to have a microwave. Enjoyed the tasty pot pie dinner and liked the sense of history. Parking on site. Friendly staff. Quiet.

An extra bin in the living area, preferably lidded, would be great for food waste/packaging items and body lotion included in the toiletries would be nice. Extra milk and some complimentary biscuits included with tea/coffee supplies on arrival would be appreciated..

We had a comfortable stay for 4 nights. Bed very good, bathroom good. Having the TV in the bedroom however was silly, when there was a sitting room where it should have been.. Could open windows for fresh air. Good restaurants at North Hobart…walkable distance. Staff helpful..

Location was too far from town for us. older people cannot walk into the city and back again uphill…you definitely need a car if staying here. there are buses however….or taxis. Bar area small, no ambience. Didn’t use dining room.

I recently stayed at Rydges Hotel, and it was an amazing experience! The room was not only comfortable but also spacious. The highlight was the fantastic deal we got, which included breakfast – a great way to start the day.

We did notice a few flies in the room, which may indicate that housekeeping could use a little more attention to detail. Additionally, there were no tissues provided in the room, which I feel is an essential item for daily comfort. Addressing these small issues would greatly enhance the overall experience.

We love the location, super convenient to Hobart centre. Free EV charge port and the reception staff was professional and welcoming.

We booked with complementary breakfast, bread was stale and fruit salad was not fresh. The only waiter wasn’t so nice or friendly. We asked for GF bread and never came, didn’t offer there is high chair for our baby. He probably hates his job, won’t even greet to you at all. He did have smiles with his colleagues just not us. Until weekends, the additional waiter/ waitress was very nice and helpful, we didn’t know there is kids high chair and she/he brought in GF bread.
