4 Star Hotels in Port Arthur, Tasmania

"In short, I would stay here again, but only if no other options in the area were available. Room was somewhat dilapidated. Dead bugs on the floor, dead flies in the windowsill (though a spray can of insecticide was provided). Water not potable, but plastic bottles of drinking water provided. During its opening hours, restaurant would not seat me when it was empty, but allowed a reservation for an hour later. When I returned, the room was full and it took another hour for my food to be served. The lady who checked me in was friendly and gracious, but otherwise the operation leaves much to be desired."

"As seasoned travelers over decades, both within Australia and OS, we had high expectations for this 2-night stay which were not met, given the price point. This was not a cheap stay, but we were happy to pay for a different 'experience'. Nice area but! The obvious things included unlike what was advertised about "Free Wi-Fi. Available in the cottage" it didn't exist. We didn't even have mobile reception unless we walked to the 'Telstra pole' (their written advice in room) at next property where Wi-Fi materialized. Cottage 1: here are just a few of the more obvious things: shower water goes everywhere/towels need to be on the floor to collect the water, sink plug doesn't work, Daiken AC does not work properly: needs at least a good clean: we tried multiple times to get it working with no luck (our homes over the years have had Daiken: brilliant AC normally) & the afternoon heat on the glass panels turns the main room into a hot room: not good when the AC is playing up: might be great in the depths of winter: the cottage badly needs an update. In short, we didn't think the owners had put much effort into checking our cottage before our arrival to ensure it was ready. Two other mentions before we close. The Sharp TV was old & useless: few channels only & the bed was hard/sheets/covers barely average quality. Being underwhelmed & generous we rate this a 3: we cannot recommend this nor; will we be back again. It could of & should have been a much better stay, for the price. "

"Good, thanks"
