Prince of Wales Hotel

We had a truly fantastic stay at the Prince of Wales Hotel in Hobart. The location is absolutely perfect, we could easily walk to the city centre and were right on the doorstep of the Salamanca Market, which was ideal for our weekend trip. The food at the hotel restaurant was outstanding; every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. When we did encounter a minor issue with our room, the staff handled it swiftly and with utmost professionalism. That level of attentive customer service truly stood out. Plus, having private parking was a huge bonus! Highly, highly recommended for a stay in Hobart.

Absolutely the worst experience. One of the staff members, a smaller man with an accent was extremely rude to a family who were simply asking about their food, which had already taken over 15 minutes. Instead of providing an update, he kept going back and forth to them, raising his voice, telling them to leave, and claiming they “don’t know how customer service works.” His behaviour was shocking and unprofessional. He even threw their refund at them before essentially kicking them out. It was genuinely upsetting to watch.

Fantastic stay. Beautifully renovated room, clean and comfortable. Great pub food. The hotel has great coffee places nearby and short walk into the harbour.

Very pleasantly surprised. The rooms have been newly renovated and have quality finishes. We stayed in room 12 that has both mountain and river views and faces on to historic battery point. Its a short walk to Salamanca and would have to be one of the best locations in Hobart. The restaurant was top notch with new decor and a nice ambient setting. The scallops were in season and were simply amazing. To top it off it has one of the best bakeries right next door which gave us a perfect start to the day. The staff were very accommodating and we really couldn't have asked for anything more.

This is an absolute gem for accommodation in Hobart. At such an affordable price, we were expecting average accommodation. However, we were delighted with the close proximity to Salamanca Place, the modern rooms and amenities (wonderful to have a pod coffee machine). It totally exceeded our expectations. Despite being a pub, it was so quiet in the accommodation area when we returned to our room at about 9pm. We will absolutely be return customers, we visit Hobart regularly and this is our new go-to place.

Extremely poor service today. Ordered a beef burger and waited over an hour and a half, then staff told me it was no longer available. I changed my order to a chicken burger, waited another 30 minutes, and still no food. I had no choice but to cancel the order. Waiting nearly 2 hours with no food and no proper explanation is unacceptable. Very frustrating experience.

Perfect pub for an afternoon in the sun. Good food, cheap drinks and special shout to the staff working Saturday afternoon - they were so lovely.

Had a 60th birthday here. Great service all night. Friendly staff. Nothing a problem. Highly recommend.

I loved the hotel. The room was simple but clean. The staff were exceptional. The food was ok. Large portions, real pub food. The drinks were pub prices, not bistro prices. We dicked them around with the booking but they were super accommodating. I have a problem with fried everything. Grilled calamari would have been great. If you have a problem with farmed seafood, check first. I do; if I am by the water I want seafood fresh out of the sea.

Good service but terrible food. I ordered a risotto, which was gluey and tasted like it came out of a packet. I think there was wheat thickener in it too. I could have made it better myself. My friend's steaks were chewy and fatty - not what you'd expect for $30! Never eating here again
