excellent value for money - huge comfortable bed. Everything clean, tidy and quiet. Close to a lot of what Hobart has to offer, easy to find from the airport and on the main highway going north. more

Wonderful clean spatious room. Firiendly courtious staff who went out of their way to help. Nice view outside over the fountain and roundabout. Despite being on a major road, was very quiet due to double glazed windows. Lovely batroom with glass froned shower. No trouble with adjusting temperature - just turn hot water on first and wait for water to... more

Had a good feel from the reviews given here. Price wise it was right. True to form, the rooms are quiet, even though its fronting a roundabout and the mini bar is very good value. more

Having stayed here last Nov/Dec, (see previous review), I was hoping our 4 night stay would live up to our previous experience...and it certainly did! Rooms remain spotless, beds are really comfortable and huge...forgot to check the manufacturer"s name as we are in the market for a new bed...mini bar prices still excellent and breakfast adequately good. One small problem... more

I stayed at the Fountainside Hotel Hobart with a touring group. On first impression of the building our hearts sank. " Not another Tacky hotel". How wrong we were! The rooms are well thought out and very spacious,and spotless with great views. Like many we were concerned about noise from the busy road but even my friends on lower floors... more

I have been staying at the Fountainside Hotel in Hobart and have been extremely impressed with the service here. The staff are friendly and professional and nothing seems too much for them in terms of helping you. A fantastic manager and very comfortable rooms. Just a couple of examples of how they go the extra distance. They switched over the... more

After reading a few reviews before leaving home we decided to take a chance and book a couple of nights with the option to leave if we had to. The hotel (for the price) far exceeded our expectations. This experience is what travelling should be like and it is obvious that it is owned or managed by people who really... more

A lot better than we were expecting!! Beautiful room with a king size latex bed (heaven) and huge shower. A little bit of traffic noise. Great central location and always parking available. Staff excellent. Mini bar prices very reasonable. Highly recommend for the price. more

Old hotel but newly refurbished. Rooms are fresh and roomy and bathroom a delight. The bed was huge and very comfy. Old lift could do with an overhaul, very clunky and noisy for those rooms near by. Breakfast was simple and very good value. Dinner was deliscious and excellent value. Staff at dinner (one for whole of restaurant) was under... more

For a touring holiday in Tassie, we pre-booked 2 nights at Fountainside. When we decided to arrive a day earlier than planned, the staff happily accommodated our request, and even gave us the same rate for the 1st night, even though Wotif was showing prices about $30p/n more expensive. As per other reviews, the rooms are excellent. Quite big, KING... more
