The rooms are a little run down. The location in regards to Port Arthur penal settlement is outstanding. All staff that I met were wonderful. Probably best described as budget accommodation where you pay a bit more for the excellent location.

Room clean, good facilities, kettle microwave fridge. Would have like 2 double beds instead of a double and a single. Bathroom gave it 4 stars due to toilet running all night and the door did not close even if locked. Easy to find great location

Spacious clean room. Supplied with bottled water that was topped up each day. This was appreciated because the tap water wasn't that nice. Fairly comfortable bed apart from most of the pillows were too high; managed to find one suitable pillow. Weak wifi. The heater struggled to heat the room; this would have been partly due to the draught coming from gaps around the front door. Tiny fridge. Minimal crockery provided; two small dinner plates with knives but no forks. Provided with a tea towel but no other kitchen cleaning equipment. Great to have face washers but no hand towel.
