Characterful hotel on waterfront.

Reception opened for us though we were afterhours on arrival. Spacious room facing harbour so always something interesting to watch from our window. Breakfast included was very good. We shut out noise at night by closing window & using aircon for comfort. Good shower & good towels.

I Had room 24, If you use this hotel book this room or floor above and there will be no noise issues from bar downstairs. So glad I booked this hotel.

Ideal home base to explore Hobart’s harbour area

Customs House is perfectly located to explore the harbour area of Hobart. We chose it for its proximity to the Salamanca market area and the harbour (including Mona museum ferry). It’s an older building in a busy part of town, and there’s quite a bit of street noise but the retro fitted double glazed windows are effective. Beds were comfy, bathrooms clean, and the included breakfast was basic but perfectly fine. Restaurant staff were great, and Nuri at reception was amazing; our initial room (1) suffered from some noise from the live music downstairs and she found us an alternative quickly at the quieter end of the hotel.
