Brunswick Hotel is an ideal place to base yourself when exploring Hobart and surrounds.
Location Located right in the centre of the city between Argyle and Elisabeth Streets, this property is within easy walking distance to many of the city's major attractions. Guests can visit the Salamanca Place, Salamanca Market, Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, Tasmanian Distillery and Museum, Penitentiary Chapel Historic Site and many others.
Rooms The hotel comprises accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets, ranging from shared dormitory style rooms to private ensuite rooms.
Restaurant There are stone grills and garden cafe onsite, serving Hobart's finest steak and seafood.
General Large conference, function room with Hobart's biggest TV screen for those special events are also provided at the hotel. In addition, the reception is open 24 hours during peak season with tourist information and booking service.
This was not a hotel, it was more like a pub with a few dodgy rooms above it. The owners did not speak much, even when checking us in. They did not appear to speak very good english. The room was hidious. There was a double bed (which was suprizing comfortable) and a single bed squished into a small room, with an old fridge at the end of the bed. The bathroom was as big as as big as your average laundry area and was not clean and the bin had not been emptied from the previous guests. It smells of mould as there was no extractor. The room was also freezing as it only had 1 electric heater that was about 40 years old. The bed was pushed up against the window which was drafty. There were men getting violent in the middle of the day in the pub downstairs. Location wise it was not bad, about a 10 min walk from the main pier with bars and restaurants. I would not recommend this 'hotel' and advise travellers to try the confort in or any hotel along the front and near to the peir.
