Watermans Hotel

Hotel

We didn’t stay here but will definitely next time! Great bar, great service and music! The atmosphere and music is fun and the bar staff know how to make a cocktail!

Had a chicken Parmigiana with chips to die for. Top it off with a pint of lager and a perfect lunch. Paul and Co were very knowledgeable and friendly and made you feel very welcome. It's definitely worth a visit, just a great old-time pub.

Great food and wonderful staff. Happy to accommodate your needs whether food or beverage.
Live music who interacts with patrons.
It was my first time here and a great experience. Will be a first port of call when I come back to Tasmania.

We stayed for 1 night at $250 per night on a Sunday night. There's no one on site if you need customer service. The fan in our room started making a shrieking noise, my partner called to ask if there was a replacement fan and was told they didn't think they had one and there's no one on site. Worst of all we ran out of loo paper! They provided the last bit of a roll and no replacements, heaps of cupboard space in the bathroom.
The window says you can open it but it was broken so we couldn't. The room is a bit rundown and could do with some touchups. Bed was comfy, bath was nice and a great location. Bar and restaurant were closed on a Sunday night. Paying $250 per night you'd think you could get some more loo paper!

I really enjoyed going to this venue. The meals are reasonably priced and I enjoyed the steak. The vegetables that came with it were not the usual. Cannot remember the last time I had asparagus and broccoli at a restaurant. Fantastic.

Very beautiful room, but walls are paper thin and you here all the drunks around salamanca until 5am.

Well located and good layout of room. Lacks parking so watch for the parking tickets.

Odd check in service with no explanation on how to check out (check out rules — minimal may I add — were in the hotel information file so very easy to miss). Noisy from the bar downstairs. Good location for the Salamanca Markets on Saturday’s. Otherwise would not stay again — had high expectations but was let down. Very expensive. We could hear the room above us walk around constantly (they must’ve been wearing high heels) which was very annoying. Many beautiful places to stay in Hobart that I would rather stay at.

Booking was made 6 months prior to date. 1 week before hand the booking was cancelled on us. 7 weeks later we are still waiting for refund. Phone number listed on Google is also incorrect. Wouldn't trust or stay here EVER! If I could put less than 1 star rating it would be minus millions.

Left stranded outside our apartment with no way to get it n. Door jammed, called number on door, told I’m an idiot cause I can’t enter the code. Girl turns up to open door with a knife, unsuccessfully, then leaves without saying anything! Left stranded at 3am with no where to go, what the fk, worst accomodation ever.

Great coffee and food. The area is near to the markets too. It is a good strolling area after having a beautiful breakfast.

Terrible place I ever stayed. Biggest rip off ever! Don't even deserve 1star. -check in: We booked this place 3months prior but when we were to check in the staff couldn't even find our booking on their system. Check in time cant be flexible and it took us long time till we even get the password from the staff as the staff was serving other people first. (You have to go through pub to get the password from staff for checking in) -Room itself : There is no lift so forget about big luggage, you will have to carry them all the way by yourself. We stayed in the top floor facing towards the main road, each room has different name but never to stay in Parliament room (that's where we stayed). No aircondition in the room, only one little fan will welcome you when the room is boiling hot inside. Tree pollen were all over the bed and we were told that it's because it's heritage building we can only open the window and they can't do anything about pollen flying through the window. So forget about booking this place of you have asthma. -Amenities: they said it's serviced apartment with all quality equipments. Again, big no. Washing machine door is broken so I couldn't even do the laundry but washing it on my own in the bath tub, there was no remote control for TV. Tea, coffee wasn't replaced after one day. -Noise issue: Just be ready to hear anything and everything in Dolby sound system quality in the room.

SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ELSE WHERE My boyfriend and I are a young couple who spent $200 on one nights stay, and it was nice but not what you would expect for $200. We stayed in the Waterman room and there were a few maintence issues -exhaust fan in the bathroom didn't work -nail sticking up from carpet near stairs -carpet had warn out in some places -chips on wall and on the bath in the bathroom -bathroom sink did not drain properly I would not expect this from a 4 star hotel. Apart from that we had a lovely bath and were able to cook breakfast for ourselves in the kitchnette.

There is no soundproofing; you could hear talking, laughing and music from the pub downstairs. The bathroom exhaust system no working so after toilet the smell still there. Used water hole have noise, like open faucet and flush toilet.

A beautiful old building with a stylish modern fitout.

Way too noisy had to sleep with noise cancelling headphones on very uncomfortable on the ears. Would not have booked here had I realised above a live music venue.

I was nervous about staying here but chose to because the rooms looked so nice and they were. I could live in that place. The sandstone walls and see through shower. The huge bed was so comfortable. Great view. Awesome food in the same area. Delicious breakfast at a great discount the next morning. Yes, it's a little noisy. But, they've done the best they can to stop it. I didn't think it was to bad. Probably would be worse on a weekend. I would recommend and stay there again. Loads more character than a regular hotel room. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

So noisy that we left after one night… despite having paid for three. I would not recommend staying here. There is virtually no soundproofing; you could hear talking, laughing and music from the pub downstairs which was open until 12.30am Sunday morning. We contacted the manager and were told that there was nothing that could be done. We left after one night. We also understand the pub is also open late on Friday and Sunday nights. It's a shame as the room was nice.

Beautifully fitted out rooms: preserving the raw sandstone walls, but with all the shiny new ultra modern comforts, like the rain shower… We were a bit concerned about the noise when booking, due to the location above a bar, however our room was very quiet. Very good location too, near all the markets and tour operators … we loved it.
