Wonderful little pub/ hotel! The pub has been newly renovated meaning the bathrooms, restaurants, bar and whole area is almost brand new. The pub downstairs was lively with locals and tourists mingling, even live music on the public holiday which was a treat. The rooms were nice and comfortable with big windows. A little on the smaller and basic side but this was made up by the lovely bathrooms with hot showers, a full stocked fridge and kitchen to help ourselves too and the beautiful sunroom. Located in battery point was a luxury, with sea views too, I absolutely adored staying here.

Room was a little small but I spent most time wandering around Hobart so wasn’t too fussed!

it’s a recently renovated historical building, and is decorated fittingly. the room is quite spacious, and has a desk + wardrobe as well as a bed. i stayed in an economy room, so the bathroom was shared, but there was a total of 4 toilets and 2 showers and i didn’t have to wait a single time in my 3 night stay. staff are friendly and accommodating as well! the location is pretty good - you’re not central central but still within easy walking distance of most things. overall, thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and felt this hotel was good value for money!

i visited hobart during a pretty hot period (31 degrees!) and the room was definitely a bit stuffy. easily rectified by opening up the window and letting the provided fan run for a bit though! my window opened directly over the street and didn’t have a fly screen, so i kept it shut with the blinds drawn when i was out of the room.

I stayed for 3 nights. The Shipwrights is a pub/B&B/restaurant, popular with locals and nautical types. it's located in a very pretty and peaceful neighbourhood. It's conveniently placed between Salamanca, (bars restaurants and markets and a short walk to the quayside in Hobart) and Sandy Bay with it's jetties at the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania. The food was very good, I ate at the bar and in the restaurant and found both to be very good. Breakfast can found a short walk at the Jackman and McRoss Bakery, which I would highly recommend. Upstairs, the rooms are basic but comfortable and clean. There is a guest lounge and a kitchen which was unexpected but welcome. the one corridor has toilets and showers on it, which were fresh and clean. The staff were very good, friendly, and remembered you. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the bar, listening to the banter of the locals and watching the cricket on the 2 TV screens. They had a good selection of beers and ciders. I would recommend that you book early to avoid disappointment.

In and ideal world I would have preferred an ensuite toilet and shower but, that would require a huge redevelopment and the the cost would have to reflect in the room rate, It was clearly stated that it was a shared bathroom before I booked the room, and I'm only saying this because I had to say something.

The hotel is in a great location near the city's waterfront. It is fully renovated and in good condition. It is tasteful and a grown up backpackers. I really like the atmosphere. It's friendly and can interact with others staying there in the small living spaces. Meals, drinks, and band downstairs. Good hooks, shelves, and benches for your stuff. Even though small spaces, if it has hooks and shelves, it's ok. It is priced appropriately. Very clean. Helpful staff. Help yourself toast breakfast and hit drinks. Casual which works.

I asked for a twin room in the comments section but this wasn't seen by the hotel, and it was a small room with one bed. As I was unwell my friend slept on the floor on her camping mat, which was ok. We could have arranged a trundle bed too.

My partner and I stayed for two nights in the budget queen room. We honestly had a fantastic experience. We booked a room without our own bathroom, but there were three shared bathrooms/toilets so we never had to wait. The facilities and rooms were very clean, newly renovated and decently sized. There was a small kitchen with complimentary tea and coffee, cereal, milks, bread and Vegemite - perfect for a light breakfast in the little sun room. The building was quaint and historical with an old fashioned pub downstairs as well as a more modern restaurant area. The manager was extremely friendly and accommodating. He made us feel very welcome. We had a couple of fantastic salads in the restaurant downstairs on our first night after a long day of travel (we had already eaten earlier). The Inn is conveniently located in Battery Point, which is a gorgeous little neighbourhood set back a little from the waterfront. If you are walking from the waterfront, it's a little bit uphill but is no problem unless you have mobility restrictions. When we were there (early November), there were so many roses blooming which pleasingly scented our walks.

Nothing, really, but if I could make a suggestion, perhaps hooks or a towel rack in the room would be helpful.

This is our second stay and it's still a great location for low price but since they've renovated all the rooms and bathrooms, it's even nicer. The staff were lovely. We could cook meals and they give you breakfast things. Lovely view from the breakfast room. And easy walking distance to city. Sharing bathroom was no issue at all.

The pub noise and kitchen aromas from downstairs can be a little offputting but you are insulated from it once you close the bedroom door. We are early to bed and weren't disturbed by it.

Our budget room was above the bar so we had some lovely jazz until around 11pm which was not at all disruptive. The room was recently renovated and we were in Room 9 which is right next to the shared bathroom (no sounds through the shared walls). Breakfast was continental style from the kitchen on the same floor and had loads of bread for toast, condiments, full cooking facilities.

No coat hangers in the room. No room in the bedroom to hang our towels (lucky we only stayed the one night) and we didn't feel hanging these in a communal bathroom was appropriate. Not enough mugs for tea but that's being very picky!

Gorgeous building in quiet residential area. We organized our late arrival with them and they allowed us to order before the kitchen closed for the night, which was very much appreciated. The food was excellent. We didn’t have breakfast because we made an early start but there was plenty to choose from. The staff were very welcoming and made us feel comfortable right away. The building has been renovated extensively, and our room was very modern. I was expecting rooms that were dusty and creaky (which I also like) but it was definitely not that. It was so clean we felt like the first guests to stay.

The walls are quite thin so we could hear people in the next room coming and going all night, but it’s an old building so that’s understandable.

An excellent location and the rooms are very clean, comfortable and all you need. I particularly liked the cute kitchen area that was well-stocked, especially as I had to leave at 4am. I'd just come from power cuts in Cygnet, so it was great to recharge devices, access wifi and get warm too. I appreciated the reception manager carrying my cases up the stairs when I arrived and also letting me check in a little early. The small lounge area has beautiful views - if you can get in it!

An extra blanket in winter would be good. It was tricky with two heavy suitcases to move them quietly up some stairs then down a flight of steep stairs to leave at 4am. There does seem to be a lift but I don't know if it's just for people in wheelchairs. The small lounge is lovely and I was enjoying sitting there until a succession of staff members took it over. I know people need a quiet break between shifts, and I have worked in hospitality, but it was difficult for guests to have access. There is some noise from below - there's a stairwell leading up to the rooms - it was a good jazz band when I was there but expect some noise.

The location. The front bar. We have visited this wonderful old hotel many times over the years and the atmosphere is always happy and welcoming. We have met a number of locals and continue to return to catch up with them.

This is the third time we have tried to stay at the pub and each time there is confusion about the reservation to the point of not having any record of it all on one occasion. The staff take no responsibility. While we were in the front bar there was a goup of three young men enjoying themselves. I believe one particular staff member acted irresponsibly by serving them 3 shots each at one time. Needless to say, one young fellow was very much worse for wear. Didn't cause a problem but not nice to watch. I hope this issue has been addressed.
