Wonderful holiday base location
Excellent location in the heart of the attractions on the water. Wonderful outlook to Mt Wellington and to the water. Parking is the challenge and property is dusty and starting to be dated. We enjoy our stay and the friendly staff.

Excellent location. Great staff.
Amazing location (right on the wharf) with fabulous water views. Handy and walkable to the CBD and Salamanca Markets. Parking options available nearby. Staff were so obliging with all of our requests, for example extra tea bags etc. Christmas morning they hand-delivered Tasmanian Christmas gingerbread.

Great location, a bit noisy
Room was good, we had a balcony as we got upgraded with VIP access which included $45 mini bar credit which was great. Location is perfect. Room wasn’t that well sound insulated. Could often hear people talking and doors slamming. We would stay again as it was great value.

The only thing I have to complain about is the parking. I booked this hotel because of the reviews and it said self parking. They only have a few parking spaces which makes it hard when you aren't in time to get there parking spaces with their name. There are others but it isn't very clear which ones you can park in.

Close to the waterfront and spacious
Lovely hotel and the room was spacious. I have knee problems so the stairs to the bedroom were difficult as the bathroom is on the first floor. I did not realise this when we booked. Also parking is awkward but possible with permits. Great views and close to everything waterfront.

An outstanding location with stunning views over the harbour. The room was exceptionally spacious, the bed comfortable and the kitchen well appointed. There were plenty of dining options nearby, we were close to everything and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The bottle of wine was a very special touch as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary and a significant birthday.

We had a very very nice stay at Somerset on the Pier. The reception staff were always friendly and welcoming and the property was overall very nice and comfortable and is in a fabulous position for exploring Hobart and the waterfront. Overall it was an extremely positive stay. The only feedback for improvement is that the lounge in our room has seen better days and needed replacement and the rooms are not very soundproof. In saying this - these things did not detract from our enjoyment of Somerset on the Pier.

I liked how it was easy walk to restaurants, beautiful views, balcony always a plus, walk to markets, good coffee nearby, helpful staff. The only thing that some may find a negative is the bedroom is upstairs if you go to the toilet at night often it’s a bit of exercise up and down the stairs.

Great views and location. My only negative was that you could hear the person in the next room coughing all night. So not that quiet. Car parking was a bit of drama as there is limited free parking so we had to a little for parking. Would definitely recommend staying here though.

The stay was lovely. Our only issues were the TV which wasn't very 'smart' so Kayla kindly attached a chromecast to allow us to stream channels. Also our air conditioning was VERY noisy but once again, Kayla sorted it out. She was unable to fix it so we turned it off & she supplied us with 2 small heaters, 1 for upstairs & 1 for downstairs. Credit to Elijah too for extending our stay to accommodate our late flight back. The housekeeping staff were also lovely & friendly.
