The Waterloo Hotel

It was a great accommodation during my trip to Tasmania. If it's a schedule that passes through Swansea, I definitely recommend this accommodation. It was a family trip for three adults. The interior and bathroom of the room were clean and well-organized. In particular, the bathroom was large and the water pressure was strong, so it was very nice. Above all, I loved the sea view from the first floor room. In the case of the first floor, you can go directly from your room to the beach yard. And there's a free washer and two dryers in the common laundry room, so you can have plenty of time if you arrive early (you can wait late at night). It has been very helpful for travelers who haven't had enough time to do their laundry. I remember one thing here: I left my shopping bag behind and came to my country. They messaged me and sent me a parcel. The item I received in almost 10 days felt like a gift. Charmaine and Naomi, Thank you very much for your kind response~~ If I ever visit Tasmania again, I promise to stay in this hotel again.

Love the view from our room. The location is perfect and in a quiet area. The room is spacious and I like they keep the tiles as it is on the wall. It’s unique in a way. The bed is very comfortable. We stayed on the top floor and the view is so worthy. There’s a walking trail at the back of the hotel. The reception is opened until 6pm. The lady at the reception is very nice and reminded us that most restaurants close a bit early in the area. There are a few cafes/ restaurants around. A bottle shop is at the corner and the IGA is 10-minute walk away from the accommodation.

This hotel is everything you need it to be, and it is a fantastic budget friendly place to stay. It is very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the room has all of the amenities you could need for a couple of nights stay - including locally roasted and compostable coffee pods! Our 3rd floor room was quiet and spacious, and had a large balcony overlooking the beach and the bowls/golf club. The 70’s decor is quaint and quite charming, and everything was perfectly kept and well maintained. We are big fans of the Waterloo Inn, and would very gladly stay there again if we were ever around Swansea. Highly highly recommend.

Cons - Expensive! Paid over $700 for my folks to stay two nights. Room Service An executive suite and they had to wash their dishes in the bathroom sink because the room doesn't come with a proper one. Someone came to refill the tea and coffee etc but no one could wash their dishes? Free Wifi Terrible connection; not acceptable with Starlink now a thing. Bar Fridge Tiny bar fridge in the room and at ground level. Not overly accessible for older or movement inhibited people. Everything has to be laid down to fit in. Pros - They were happy with the spa and were fine with the room size. It didn't feel crammed in. Closeness to other attractions and amenities was a plus. Staff were polite and courteous. The views was amazing. Overall 2.5 - 3 stars. I really was unhappy with the price vs what you get for it; the lack of kitchen sink and multiple dishes being the biggest detractor. Your forced to wash up after every meal if you want to have available dishes for the next one. How is that a holiday?

The Waterloo Hotel is a 3 star accommodation and in this category I’m giving it full marks. The location is great (beach front with direct access to walking paths) and so was service. The room was large with a big, nice balcony overlooking the sea and had all the conveniences. Furniture wasn’t brand new, but it was clean and fully serviceable. Definitely would stay again (price allowing).

Great cozy room. Comfy bed and pillows. Great water pressure in the shower. Large enough balcony. Vintage feel but not run down. Would recommend!

The room was clean ans comfy. The hotel staff has made sure we could access the room key after the office hours. Some good recommendations too where to eat. If the hotel can leave a spare blanket in the cupboard, that would be wonderful.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The room was spotless, and the entire property was very well maintained. It was also incredibly quiet, which made it easy to relax and get a good night’s sleep.
