Tassie Backpackers

3.5 Good hostel for what you're paying for, good free wifi (but only for one device) and a really great location. However our room and hallway smelt awful and the kitchen wasn't very sanitary. Beds and curtains definitely need to be upgraded. The bathrooms and showers should be cleaner. Overall a good hostel for brief and cheap stops when backpacking but not a pleasant environment to stay.

It is what it is: a hostel for backpackers. If you're staying in the dormitory style rooms, it's cheaper but funky. Yes, squeaky beds. Yes, not perfectly clean. Yes, noisy at night. I heard the private bedroom accommodations are a step up, and many of them have their own floor to escape noise. For the price and location, not bad overall. The "free wifi" thing is a bummer (250MB doesn't do much), but there are other options nearby at coffeeshops/etc. The bar/restaurant downstairs is nice though. I'd stay again if on a budget.

The deluxe room was comfortable and the staff is friendly. Unfortunately, the common area is very small and not clean enough. There wasn't enough essential things such as bowls and plates! Hard to make friends in a hostel where the living room is so dark and unfriendly!

The kitchen isn't big enough, but the rooms are decent. The location is great with a Woolworths across the street and minutes walk away from all the city shopping centers. The receptionist Zara was incredible, very nice and super helpful!

Great location but definitely a no frills hostel. Dorms and bathrooms are very basic (but mostly satisfactory) however the kitchen and common areas were cramped and dirty. There is a large commercial fridge located right next to the outdoor common seating area that emits a loud hum and luggage storage room is also extremely limited. Would recommend if you are looking for a well located place to sleep at night and not planning on spending much time on the premises.

I stayed here for 3 weeks. This was the cheapest deal I could find for $24 for a 4 bed dorm. Convenient location and there's woolies right accross the street. The room was really clean apart from the smell coming from the carpet. But it wasn't too strong. The kitchen was always clean and organised. The bathrooms looked old but they were always clean. I was able properly use only 2nd shower because the water from the other ones wasn't flowing out properly. The reception and the cleaning staff were really friendly. The internet is unlimited but i had to get a voucher from the reception of 250mb every time it got over. But sometimes the same vouchers worked multiple times. Overall my experience was good. Its the best I could get for $24. I would recommend this place for any backpacker.

This review is for the hotel, not the bar... Sorry, there is no true FREE WIFI... they give you a voucher for 250mb. Wish that was made clear on their site. The place for the most part was unkept and the laundry machines were grimey. The sheets were pretty soiled and old. Also, the staff just barges into your room without knocking to change your trash.

Cheapest hostel i could.find for a four bed dorm in Hobart. Friendly but as with any hostel you have share with people which some times not best people maybe missing few brain cells. The hostel was ok for the price. It's right next a bar but I still managed to have a good.sleep.
