Somerset on the Pier

Hobart, Tasmania


Price

The price is reflective of the location, mid-range, not in the luxury price bracket. The premier rooms have a balcony and they look out onto Constitution Dock, pictured here. These rooms are more expensive, the 'Executive' rooms face the Brooke Street Pier and have windows and no balcony, they are the cheaper option. Still a nice view and good for people watching!


Location

Fabulous location on Elizabeth Pier. The building was an old warehouse built in 1934 and has been converted. There are restaurants on the ground floor, along the pier. One side of the pier faces Constitution Dock and the other the Brooke Street Pier. The MONA ferry is a 3 minute walk away, as is the Tourist Office in the Brooke Street Pier. Salamanca Place is a 5 minute walk away, central Hobart only a few minutes away as well.



Facilities

Somerset on the Pier is self-contained apartment style accomodation. There's a kitchenette which comes with a dishwasher. The bedroom is a loft style mezzanine, it contains a large wardrobe with room safe, as well as another TV. The bathroom downstairs has a washing machine and a dryer.

Executive Room with windows looking out onto Brooke Street Pier.

Extras

There's a Guest Lounge with a computer and printer. Also some books that can be borrowed.

There is limited parking for hotel guests, the hotel also offers airport pickups for those not driving their own vehicle.

Room service can be arranged with one of the restaurants at the pier.

There is only one flight of stairs to go up to the rooms so it's nice just to go up and down the stairs rather than taking the elevator. If you use the stairs you're rewarded with this lovely view of Constitution Dock.

Summary

Really loved the location of this hotel, the apartment is well equipped, so I was very happy with my choice. Will definitely stay here again when visiting Hobart.
