Travelodge Hotel Hobart

The hotel's location is super convenient, just a 10-minute walk from the Skybus stop (the 4th stop from Hobart Airport). From there, you can easily get to the pick-up point for day trips to Maria Island or the Port Arthur Historic Site.

The room was very clean and had a strong Japanese style. The bathroom, however, was tiny! I'm not sure how larger foreigners manage to stay here; it felt like it would be hard to even wash your hair in the shower. Just something for others to consider. As for the bed, the large bed felt like two mattresses put together. Also, the duvet insert had a lot of pilling, and the duvet cover was a bit uncomfortable. If you're sensitive, I'd recommend bringing your own pajamas.

Location-wise, it's super convenient. You can walk to most of the downtown sightseeing spots for a city walk, and there are bus stops nearby. It's also easy to get to the pick-up points for various day tours. As for facilities, the rooms are generally clean and tidy. There's a coin-operated washer and dryer available. A little tip: if you're coming from overseas, bring your own laundry detergent, as it costs two dollars per wash here. Washing is four dollars, and drying is also four dollars. Inside the room, you'll find a microwave, hot water kettle, and a fridge. The gym is a bit small but sufficient for a quick workout. Breakfast is pretty standard Western fare. One thing to note: the beds are particularly soft. If you're sharing a king-size room with someone, make sure to emphasize that you need two duvets, otherwise, you'll have to get an extra blanket from the front desk. The staff are mostly friendly and communicate primarily in English. Overall, I'd still recommend it.

New and very clean. The room has a kettle and complimentary tea and coffee. It's close to the city center and very near Salamanca Market.
