Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart
The best characteristic is it's location, which is superb. The underground carpark can be very full at times,and no reservations are accepted, which means you may not have a carpark which can be a major issue.

Mövenpick Hotel Hobart
Limited breakfast menu. Room not what’s expected.

Wrest Point
The hotel has a main building and also operates a separate motel, so you should be careful to distinguish between them when choosing a room. The bed was too soft, and it caused back pain.
