Hadley's Orient Hotel

I stayed at Hadley’s Orient Hotel for four nights and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The room I had was surprisingly large — it felt more like a small apartment than a standard hotel room, which made the stay extra comfortable. The nostalgic look and feel of the hotel really add to its charm, with beautiful old-world details throughout that take you back in time in the best possible way. Breakfast was a highlight each morning, with a good continental spread to start the day. For something more substantial, there was also the option to order à la carte, which I appreciated. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, always happy to help with anything I needed. If you're looking for a place with character, comfort, and a touch of history, Hadley’s is a great choice.

If you want an authentic Tasmania. Experience, this is the hotel to stay in. Rooms are restored tastefully, bed and pillows are super comfortable, well heated and lit with lamps due to the age of the building built before electricity! Coffee machine and pods supplied (Nespresso equivalent).||Bathrooms are renovated beautifully supplied with quality shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer and amenities.||Staff are friendly & helpful (shoutout to Ash on the front desk) and the bar is lovely, warm and comfortable (and the drinks are spot on). ||Priced exceptionally well compared to other capital cities in Australia!||Short walk to the Elizabeth St mall and to Salamanca.||Absolutely loved our stay and would definitely return!

Our first choice in Hobart due to its location, warmth of staff and historical character filled interior and building. We love the music, how the space feels upon entering and the charming vibe. The hotel bar with fireplace and beautiful interior and dining/breakfast options are also excellent, and some evenings there is live piano. We are always looked after at this hotel and why we keep coming back!

We had a lovely stay at Hadley's. The hotel is beautiful. The rooms are large but all are a bit different so it is worth asking for a specific room if you have a preference for a bath or a view. The service was excellent. We had an issue with the air-conditioner but the evening manager was extremely helpful and professional. He ensured we were well looked after. Housekeeping was attentive. Parking is a few minutes walk from the hotel but easily accessible and there are loading bays at the front door to unload luggage. We would definitely stay here again. There are options for large family rooms which make it a great choice for families.

The staff were friendly and courteous. The rooms were comfortable. Location perfect for Salamanca place and the pier. Loved the ambience of the hotel and its history. I enjoyed the Saturday night live piano and jazz singer. Breakfast was delicious. Lots to choose from.

A classic and comfortable hotel. Professional staff. Comfortable beds. No noise or unpleasant smells. This time the travelers went to Mona and Maria Island. The hotel is conveniently located near various attractions in the city center, which also has beautiful scenery. The hotel is very close to skybus stop 5, making it easy to get to the airport. Highly recommended.

Our stay at Hadleys was fantastic. Upon entry we were greeted with a warm and friendly staff member, Anthony. Anthony & the other staff were all very polite and accommodating. The hotel was warm, inviting and has old fashion charm. Our room was spacious and the bath tub was huge. The location was also fantastic. In the heart of the city & walking distance to everything that one would need. Continental breakfast had everything you could want. Great stay. We will come back one day. Until then, Thank you Hadley's for an amazing stay.

Perhaps the sixth time we have stayed here. Always been happy previously, but...|Room 101 is a cold outside facing room and the heat pump was not adequate. |The sink taps were loose, as was one of the shower taps. The TV had five white dots on the screen and obviously needs to be replaced.|When we came back from dinner (which the hotel no longer provides) we were hoping for a drink; but the bar had closed at 8.

Upon checkin there was only one employee working. The phone rang continually while she tried to check me in, she apologized profusely. I was upgraded to a superior room. It was located facing the street which made it incredibly noisy. The room was large and clean bathroom nice not enough counter space to do makeup and cannot plug hair tools in bathroom. I came back from a tour late on A holiday with a raging headache. I asked the gal at counter if they had a sundries shop where I could get Advil. She said Woolworths may still be open, at that point it wasn't and I just needed something. How does a hotel not sell aspirin, toothpaste etc!? She didn't offer to get 1st air kit, nothing. I called down a short time later it have them arrange for a cab to airport in the morning. She didn't want to do it she wanted me to wait until the morning. Not being a morning person and a planner I didn't want to wait, she never did call me back to confirm so I had to call in the morning anyways. Ordered room service it was quick and tasty. Overall hotel is nice and I enjoyed my stay..

As the website says this hotel has a touch of the past and the present, it literally does... there is a 1836 part of the hotel which is kept that way and trust me you'd don't want to stay there. However the modern setup looks very elegant. I stayed here on a business visit for 5 nights, the rooms are pretty good but it looks like they want to give their guests the impression of they being cash struck. The lady from housekeeping did not think twice before telling us that have run out of soaps and we have to adjust with some body wash. Yes this is what exactly she said :) They say that the guest laundry is present, if you want to use it please be ready to get the feeling that you are washing it in a public toilet with no maintenance. It looks harsh but I am saying exactly what I felt when I entered there. The positive is the food, room service was good and got us some very well done pizza. Overall it's not too bad for staying a couple of days there but I won't recommend it if you have other options.

Stayed here on a 3 day trip to Hobart. It has a very quaint, very classic feel to it, and the look they are going for is definitely a "period decor". So if you want quaint charm, this is the place to go. However, they could still have quaint charm with some updated facilities. For instance, they have a TV, but this was very old rear projection TV, with terrible reception/picture quality. On the plus side, they do have a DVD with movies available at the counter, so they must realise the reception is terrible. The room is tiny, no fan or extractor in the bathroom and no windows so forget using the mirror after a shower. The towels are torn and raggedy (I'd seen reviews on tripadvisor state this, but didn't believe it til I saw it) and the carpets and furnishing in general were in a worn state. I had a selection of dishes from room service. The squid starter was tiny for the price although it tasted good. The pizza breads were dry. Chips were fine and the cheese plate a little disappointing (this is Tasmania..... how can you have such a bland cheese plate???!!). It's in a great location and it has historical and classic charm, but honestly, I've stayed in better guesthouses and for the price, you can get far far better.

We booked a "Superior" room weeks in advance. Small room, mold in shower, taped together remote and a view of an alley.

Absolutely a lovely hotel! From the time I checked in to the time I checked out, I received exceptional customer service! The lobby is welcoming, the ambiance is friendly and the hotel staff are all absolutely lovely! The rooms are a bit small, but I didn't come for a weekend trip to Tasmania to hang out in my room! The bed was simply amazing! There was a feather topper on the bed which made it feel as though I was sleeping on a cloud! I enjoyed dinner at the bar, one of the best meals I've enjoyed in a while! I had a Tasmanian eye filet with mushrooms, asparagus and wedges! The steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and was so tender it melted in my mouth! Ordered room service for breakfast and it was equally delicious! I highly recommend Hadley's for your place to stay when visiting Hobart, Tasmania!!!

Had a lovely breakfast at Hadleys this morning...food, staff and old world charm all perfect. I've not stayed in the hotel but ive always loved visiting for the food and amazing bar....you really get the feeling of steping back in time. The building is absolutely stunning....im the one sitting in the corner of the bar stairing at the ceiling features and paint job.

The worst experience ever and I would never stay at Hadley's again! My wife and I booked accommodation for the evening after our wedding. After a very long day and night we got to the hotel to be told we didn't have a booking. It took nearly 30 mins for them to finally find our name and confirm our booking. They were extremely apologetic and we understood these things happen. But after unloading everything once in our room and taking forever to get all of my new brides hair pins out and getting out of the wedding dress/suit that we had been stuck in for most of the day, we were extremely disappointed and frustrated to find we had no hot water? After all this is a basic necessity that is provided in even the cheapest hotels and we had paid a reasonable amount of money for a room with a spa. We could not get any answers out of reception so decided to forget about it and go to bed as we were exhausted and assumed it would be ok in the morning. No! Still no hot water the next day. What a disaster. After an extremely hectic day/evening, we had to pack up and check out without getting to freshen up at all. We Would have rather just stayed in our own home where we could have at least showered. The manger explained they had an issue with the hot water unit and could not get it fixed overnight, but was not very apologetic. She eventually offered to deduct our breakfast charge. Wow thanks! A free breakfast for ruining what was supposed to be one of the happiest days of our lives. Apart from that experience, the rooms are old and outdated, cramped and small, If the sound of yelling from drunk patrons below doesn't keep you awake all night then the bells from the church opposite chiming will. Not worth 1/4 of the overpriced rate!
