Reviews for Edgewater Hotel

Review 1:No free internet. Protective blanket at the end of the bed was full of hair.

Review 2:Close to ferry (Spirit of Tasmania), comfortable room. Breakfast is good value with the TT Line special offer.

Review 3:Attitude of reception staff - careless -the fact that we were first given a key to a dirty room - unmade bed, dirty towels on bathroom floor, dirty glass on night table, etc.

Review 4:It's proximity to the ferry terminal

Review 5:Breakfast was not included and was cheaper to book as a walk off thestreet customer than going via bookings.com.

Review 6:Location and cleanliness. Firm Bed.

Review 7:We had a King waterfront room and it was an excellent location. The small water taxi was right outside if needed. The boats passing outside the window was a great sight. Excellent location for travel on the Spirit of Tasmania.

Review 8:The location is about a hundred yards (give or take) from the Spirit of Tasmania. However to get there one has to walk about a kilometre because there is no direct path. I can't believe that something can't be done about that.

Review 9:The food was edible and the room was adequate for one night.

Review 10:restaurant had set hours pushed you out by 8pm no where to sit and talk Internet charged @ $7.95 hour

Review 11:Comfortable beds, refurbished rooms. Next door to ferry terminal surprisingly no noise from ferry as it comes and goes. Food good at restaurant

Review 12:The only off putting thing is out side each door are containers with cigarette butts in there for smokers & as rooms are close you smell them & encouraged smokers around the door way to the rooms .

Review 13:The room was clean & tidy you could dine out there as we'll good food reasonably priced .

Review 14:$145 is more than you should have to pay for a simple motel room of thisstandard. I booked online on Booking.com many weeks in advance for whatwas meant to be a good rate, so I was disappointed to be handed a flyerfor this exact establishment when boarding the Spirit of Tasmania ferrywith a rate $6.00 cheaper per night, and with breakfasts included. Atcheck-in, I asked them to simply match the breakfast offer but no suchgenerosity was offered; I would have to not only pay more for the room,but also pay $11.90 per person for breakfast! Not a great way to treatyour guests or to generate good publicity or return visits. The bed inmy room was below average for comfort, poorly made, and the onlyavailable pillows were very hard & high profile. I did not rewardthis hotel by paying for their breakfast, preferring to walk to a nearbycafe & spend my money there.

Review 15:Close to the ferry terminal; that is the sole reason for staying there.I could have booked better places for less but didn't have a vehicle& did not wish to walk 3.4km to get there. The room was clean &the bathroom good.

Review 16:The shower had some mold. Could be better insulated when doors opened and closed from other rooms the windows vibrated and shook. Noisy from 5.00am when people started leaving.

Review 17:Staff went out of their way to accommodate requests as did the manager. They were all very friendly and helpful.

Review 18:The shower grout was dirty. Room appeared to have little insulation and had to have heater going all night.

Review 19:The breakfast room was very nice and the breakfast was excellent. Bed had electric blanket. Perfect location.

Review 20:Lacked full toiletry and tea coffee service. Noisy and bright light through the curtains so struggled to sleep. Grimey stained shower curtain a rusty shower rack. Linen etc was fine and is obviously newly painted. Small little things as mentioned at the start would have helped as we have paid the same for a far nicer room in centre of Hobart.

Review 21:It was very close to,the spirit terminal.

Review 22:Although it looks a little tired outside the interior of our King room with waterviews was really nice. Being part of the hotel meant food wasn't far away. Dinner at the pub was fantastic! So close to Spirit of Tasmania dock meant a very short trip after our ferry that came in quite late.

Review 23:Tiny bath room and toilet area a real squeeze. Must have changed the chef since our last visit as the food was shocking.

Review 24:Good parking, located close to the airport.

Review 25:Room quite small but good for the over night stay.

Review 26:Being so close to the Spirit Terminal was a plus. Not much on the outside but ok on the inside.Had Dinner at the connecting pub,good value.

Review 27:Everything Views of river and spirit of tassie Facilities. Bar. Bottle store. Restaurant. Close to everything. Room was awesome and clean Great spa. Lovely staff. Great balcony.

Review 28:Sofa was a tad uncomfortable. Especially for two adults to sit on it, and I loathe laying on the bed to watch telly.

Review 29:Friendly staff in particular, its hard to find these days. Availability of a dining room for dinner on site is a real bonus. Love the river view.

Review 30:internet is prohibitively expensive and only worked for 2 days before dying the rest of the week. I will look for somewhere else to stay next time as this is something i need for work.

Review 31:The 'king bed' was just two singles pushed together and they gave our breakfast to another table so we had a long wait and they blamed the chef when it was clearly the servers fault

Review 32:The location was convenient

Review 33:The Host was extremely helpful and had great knowledge of the area, the motel is clean and comfortable great value cooked breakfast 2 peaple for $12.00.

Review 34:The atmosphere is on overall not very pleasant, as the hotel is located next to the harbour, and is combined with a not too classy bar and gambling site. The rooms (at least some of them) are quite cold, even if the heating is on. The hotel is also located on the wrong side of the river, and therefore there are basically no stores and only a few cafes of restaurants nearby. The distance to city centre is more than 5 km, which is too far as there are no regular bus connections available every day.

Review 35:If you are going to the cruise with Spirit of Tasmania, I could recommended this Hotel due to location. The hotel was clean, and there was plenty of hot water. The staff was really nice.

Review 36:The bathroom area too small the walkway to narrow for both people to access

Review 100:No meals available on Sundays

Review 101:Good clean comfortable rooms

Review 102:The only one comment is that the 2 single beds pushed together is not a King size bed! Still, they were comfortable.

Review 103:The location was excellent, great to watch the Spirit of Tassie come and go. We didn, t know if the ferry was operating so that would have been good to walk back and forward to Devonport shops etc. Meals were lovely and not overpriced.

Review 104:Looks nothing like websites very run down the pillows where like someone throw chunks of foam into the pillow cases would never go back or recommend them the meals at the pub attached where terrible too

Review 105:Not a whole lot oh it did have a hot shower

Review 106:Very cramped facilities. Booking in, we were told the room over- looked "a courtyard". That is very misleading. It was a bitumen car park.

Review 107:Convenience to ferry. Proximity to the water for an early morning walk. Comfortable bed.

Review 108:The second night we stayed in the first floor room which was very much bigger but the bed even though it was king size, had a terrible one side with a huge dip in the end. The restaurant was closed....... Not good.

Review 109:The first night was most enjoyable. Ground floor room which was very comfortable with large king size bed. I liked the modern touch. The restaurant was most enjoyable.

Review 110:Nil.

Review 111:Recommend upgrading to a terrace room. The extra small cost is reflected in larger, well fitted out room of high quality. Very convenient location for boarding Spirit of Tasmania ferry.

Review 113:the bed was a good size .close to spirit of tasmania .

Review 114:The constant noise of cars and people arriving and leaving. The restaurant closes very early. No WiFi. There is absolutely nothing to do in the area other than get up early in the morning and board the ferry.

Review 115:The Spirit of Tasmania is as close as it can possibly be. The waterfront rooms are spacious. The beds are large and comfortable.

Review 116:I thought the accommodation didn't match the price, and I was charged $10 dollars more on one night for no apparent reason, the charge of $120.00 a night not justified.

Review 117:The bed was very comfortable, with a bad back it suited me fine, and I liked the location.

Review 118:Reception area smelly put me off having dinner there. Surrounding streets not friendly and nothing much to do, have to drive to Devonport for shops. Shower water pressure soft. No shampoo. No mini bar.

Review 124:nothing

Review 125:Staff were very friendly and helpful, clean older style motel rooms. Very convinient to Ship to Melbourne. Fair value, not great but OK. Bathroom small but clean.
