Top South Hobart Hotel Reviews

RACV Hobart Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very spacious apartment with a balcony and nice views over the city. There was a good size kitchen and dining and lounge area. The bar downstairs had a happy hour and tasty bar snacks. It was conveniently located and the parking was on site which was great. We only stayed one night but wished it had been longer."
