DoubleTree by Hilton Hobart

Located in downtown Hobart on Macquarie Street (a main road), it's about a 10-minute walk to the Museum and Art Gallery / Brooke Street Pier. The room facilities are great with good soundproofing. The bathroom meets DoubleTree standards, and the mattress and pillows are very comfortable. The breakfast has a decent variety. Street parking right outside the hotel is free from 6 PM to 8:30 AM; at other times, you can pay by credit card at the parking meter, which is explained during check-in. The Skybus airport shuttle stop is right there too.

Overall, the location is quite good, and the hygiene is acceptable. The bed was made and towels were changed daily. The breakfast was pretty standard, a classic foreign breakfast. Other than that, there's nothing much to note.

I slept very well, the room was soundproof and quiet. However, the laundry fee was a bit high, and it took a whole day to get my clothes back, which needs improvement. The room rates also fluctuated quite a bit.

They gave us some small, tasty cookies upon check-in. The hotel's location is not far from the city center, and it's super convenient as the Hobart Airport Skybus stops right in front of the hotel on its fourth stop. Breakfast was decent, with hot food available. The city's architecture is quite retro and beautiful; it's very pleasant to walk around and explore.

The location is quite good, within walking distance to the pier, CBD, and other attractions. The service was excellent; they even gave me warm cookies during check-in. The only minor flaw is the bathroom design, which I found a bit inconvenient. The sink is very small, so washing my face splattered water everywhere, and the shower area had no enclosure except for a curtain. Taking a normal shower felt like it would flood the bathroom (I wonder if my room was a disabled-accessible room? The front desk might have mentioned it, but I didn't fully understand). I'm not sure if other room types are the same.

The hotel has a great environment. The breakfast is also very rich, and the SkyBus is right at the doorstep. Very convenient.

The room wasn't very big, and since I booked only a week in advance, the price was a bit higher than expected. Overall, the hygiene was acceptable, although there were hairs on the bed and in the bathroom when I checked in. The hotel staff helped us resolve that. I forgot to take photos of the room, but you can refer to the hotel's pictures and other reviews; they're all pretty similar. It's worth noting that international hotels aren't as accommodating as domestic ones when it comes to upgrades. Here, you'd either need to be a high-tier member or pay for a higher room category to get an upgrade. Each day, the room is stocked with two bottles of drinking water, a carton of milk, and the usual capsule coffee and tea bags – pretty standard. However, I don't understand why housekeeping moved my belongings. Several times, I returned to find my neck pillow on the floor, clothes I'd hung on the hanger had been moved, and my slippers were in a different spot. While it's not a major issue, it was a bit annoying for someone with OCD. I hope the hotel can pay attention to this aspect. I've included a few breakfast photos. On a side note, the fillet steak at the downstairs restaurant was very tender and worth trying.
