Somerset On The Pier Hobart

“Location and Staff Great... but Needs a refit...”

We enjoyed our time here, but the sound insulation between rooms is really bad. You can hear everything, Parking is a mess, and the place needs to be less like an old Ibis and more up to date. Having said that staff were great, and having an ability to cook in that area is worth it.

“Good Experience”

Great location, simple, clean and no-fuss. Amazing spot for pictures and central to all food, markets, transport, and tours pick-up. Recommended overall for families, especially the views. The hotel needs an update of room A/C (equipment) for the price. 😊

“In the thick of it”

Great room, fully equipped kitchen and central location with a bonus of a view out to the river and up to Mt Wellington. The only downside is that the rooms have a loft bedroom and the bathroom is downstairs. It was a little treacherous to navigate at 4am, I nearly tripped and went flying out the… more

Great room, fully equipped kitchen and central location with a bonus of a view out to the river and up to Mt Wellington. The only downside is that the rooms have a loft bedroom and the bathroom is downstairs. It was a little treacherous to navigate at 4am, I nearly tripped and went flying out the window more than once. Minutes walk from Constitution Dock in one direction and Salamanca markets in the other. The perfect location

“Great location but needs attention!”

We stayed twice within a week in 2 different rooms. A mixed reaction with some positives and some negatives. Firstly the positives. Location is perfect for the harbour, restaurants and tours. The apartments are well appointed with a lounge overlooking the harbour, good kitchen and decent bedroom. … more

We stayed twice within a week in 2 different rooms. A mixed reaction with some positives and some negatives. Firstly the positives. Location is perfect for the harbour, restaurants and tours. The apartments are well appointed with a lounge overlooking the harbour, good kitchen and decent bedroom. Can sit on the balcony overlooking the harbour. The negatives included……apartment 17 was a bit smelly like a dirty drain. We didn’t realise this was specific to the room until we went to room 13 for our next stay, which had zero smell. There were no bath plugs in apartment 13, the clock radio did not work, and the fridge did not shut properly. Some of these items were resolved when we raised them with reception. The air conditioning was very noisy, and you could hear the units in the adjoining apartments. Also, the controls were different in apartments 13 and 17, even though the instructions were the same. Overall the apartments are “tired” and need redecorating (at least)
