Islington Hotel

The Islington Hotel has been such a pleasant place to stay for our trip to Hobart. It’s a beautiful grounds which makes you feel like you’re out of the city, with a stunning garden with great views of Mount Wellington. We had a garden room and it was stunning waking up to the view of the garden.
The hotel its self is very nice, built from Sandstone and immaculately decorated. The room was very spacious. It’s very well located, close to everything, but as I said feeling like you’re not in a main city.
Breakfast was delicious and the dining room has glass walls with a great view and a fireplace that is always lit.
The staff were amazing and attentive. Marc was always available to our every need.
I’d highly recommend it

This was our first visit to Tasmania and staying at the Islington was a highlight of the trip. The service is outstanding, and the room extremely comfortable and clean. The whole place has a lovely Victorian era charm. You can relax around the grounds and there is plenty of room to sit and relax outside of your room.
Breakfast everyday is a must as the food was amazing. They’re also currently updating the furniture and decor which will just make it even better. We loved our stay, thanks!

📝 Spent 2 lovely nights at this hotel on the outskirts of Hobart. Highly recommended!

🛏 We had a splendid room that was very big and comfortable. The bathroom was also huge and had a nice, warm floor. Each day we found in the room complimentary sweets, while each night a tea set was put on our bed so we could prepare a relaxing tea before sleeping. Outside there were also a couple of chairs to enjoy the hotel's pretty garden.

📍 The hotel was built in and around a beautiful historic villa. Everything is super elegant and gives a nice feeling. Loved also the breakfast area with the big glass windows that let lots of light in. In terms of location, you probably need a car to get there since it's further away from the center. They have private parking but even outside of the property you could simply park on the side of the street.

🍴 Breakfast was very good: a few things like muffins and pastries were available as buffet, otherwise we could each order a hot or cold dish from a little menu we had at the table, which would be freshly prepared.

We’ve stayed at the Islington a few times now, and love it on each occasion. The gardens are beautiful and the facilities are cozy. The service is particularly great, as it feels like a much more expensive European experience. Mark particularly is lovely.

We regularly recommend it to friends as it sums up a trip to Tasi.

Our stay was amazing for our honeymoon. Isacc and the chef looked after us from start to finish. The property is beautiful and the gardens were absolutely stunning. Waking up to the Mountain views is so nice. Highly recommend when visiting Hobart.

Such a beautiful hotel and wonderful service. Breakfast was fantastic and the view made me feel so excluded even though we were on the outskirts of town.

I can imagine throwing wonderful parties here and just enjoying the gorgeous building and decor. Photos don’t do it justice.

The only challenge was the room temperature would not lift past 20degrees - in the middle of winter with giant windows (to a beautiful garden! I was purposefully staying to work remote a few days - which meant spending my days in the room (desk was suitable, hair was comfortable), yet an ice cold room all day and all night was very uncomfortable. Staff were kindly accomodating for last minute meetings before and after check out times, to which I am very grateful.

Overall phenomenal hotel, I am certain they will resolve the ice box issue in due time.

If you want exceptional, this is where you need to stay. Everything from arrival to the room , gardens views of Mt Wellington, and the food is just wonderful . Not just a stay but an experience. I would definitely recommend the Islington as a must do in Hobart.

The Islington was recommended to us by friends and it certainly lived up to its reputation. A truly wonderful, first class experience, with professional, friendly staff and a spectacular location. Our suite was spacious and luxurious, with every convenience catered for. The little personal touches, like the evening bedtime tea and treats, were very appreciated. We particularly enjoyed the meld of old colonial past with the post modern newer build and decor. The dining too was exceptional, both of us enjoyed a 3 course birthday dinner to celebrate and the breakfast both mornings. All was beautifully presented and equally as delicious, with thoughtful vegan options also available for hubby.
Only small issue was no lactose free milk 2 mornings in a row, so no coffee for me - as a dietary requirement for many, this should definitely be a staple on offer. Otherwise absolutely wonderful in every way.

Absolutely amazing experience - highly recommend for romantic getaways.

The staff were without fault; from the introductions and service to the personalised touches, they were so accommodating, thoughtful and very friendly.

The views are beautiful: mountain scale backgrounds and a beautiful well maintained garden that drew you in.

Stunningly decorated with beautiful interior and exterior, and the romantic historic edge to staying in a heritage house with modern touches, it did not disappoint. Private sitting areas with active fireplaces, books, chess, eclectic artworks and little hideaways.

The food was wonderful (lovely menu) with a welcoming and friendly chef, help-yourself cookies, scones, fruit, meringues and personalised teas.

It was a wonderful time - will definitely be returning!

Beautiful property with amazingly furnished rooms, architecture and landscape. We originally booked to have dinner there but couldn’t make it as our flight arrived a few hours late. We emailed the hotel and they’re nice enough to prepare us a cheese platter in our rooms.

Breakfast was magnificent, so is the space we dined in. Can’t recommend Islington Hotel enough for your future stay at Hobart!

My husband and I held our small 28 person wedding here in January. We booked the whole hotel exclusively so majority of our guests could stay the whole weekend.

We were all blown away by the exceptional service we received, not only on our wedding day, but for the whole weekend. The level of service here is so hard to find. Everyone was constantly greeted by name by the very friendly staff and asked if they wanted barista-made coffee or refreshments. They had a turndown service including sleepy tea, daily treats and an all day pastry table. The whole hotel was beautiful and very clean/maintained. Everyone commented on how comfy the beds were!

Marc (the manager) is extremely professional and hardworking. He helped us organise our wedding from interstate with multiple video calls and emails. Nothing was ever too much trouble and he always put our mind at ease. He ensured our wedding day ran smoothly, even with last minute changes and wet weather. We also had multiple video calls with the head chef Tony who was very accomodating with the menu and any dietary requirements. The food was fantastic and there was plenty of it!

We couldn’t recommend the Islington hotel enough if you want an intimate wedding where everyone feels special!

Wonderful Service. Exquisite grounds. Well appointed room. Stayed in the garden suite, would definitely recommend. Had a very relaxing little getaway. Views of the mountain are exquisite. Hot breakfast included. Would absolutely stay here again

Such a special place, we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else in Hobart. From the moment we arrived, the service provided by Gabriela and Claire was outstanding and the hotel rooms and gardens are magnificent. The dinner was delicious and as good as any fine dining experience we’ve had and the breakfast every morning was just as good. The chefs were really friendly and the whole experience is extremely personable and peaceful. The Islington hotel is the perfect place for any couple looking to relax and enjoy the finer things in life. Cannot recommended highly enough!

My husband and I recently had the privilege of getting married here. It was by far the most wonderful experiences of my life!
All the staff throughout the organisation stage to the service on the night, were fantastic. The chef cook the most divine food, it had so much love and passion poured into every dish. They did the most incredible job catering for our vegan guests, and even got in our favourite red wine.

The venue is just spectacular, they have the most exquisite artworks and each room is uniquely designed.
I look forward to returning for our anniversarys to come.

Thank you so much to the entire team at the Islington, you made our marriage the most memorable evening.

Started here with my wife for my birthday and had a wonderful stay. From the moment we entered the premises and greeted by the general manager we just had the best time. The wonderful older part of the hotel dates from 1847 and is filled with fascinating items collected by the owners. The newer sections of the hotel provided great accommodation and our room had a be great view of My Wellington. Staff were fantastic including the chef who came and talked to us about the meals on offer.

Food ambience wine list rooms and service and staff excellent. Comfy bed. Nice toiletries. It was a fun place to stay. We would not stay anywhere else in Hobart.

Islington even made us a toasted sandwich dinner when we arrived, exhausted. Nothing a problem and the toasted sandwich was perfect! Thank you.

Also, we got great car hire service and good prices from local outfit Drive Car Hire, who delivered and picked up from the Islington, for no additional charge. So easy to deal with. A nice clean Honda Civic. Went like a charm.

Also, go see MONA.

One word...
AMAZING. The whole visit from check in to check out was fantastic. The staff were incredible and went above and beyond to make us feel AT HOME. This is a perfect couples hideaway. The grounds were just wonderful and a great place to just sit and relax the food is excellent what ever your choices. This place WILL be on our must return to list. And thanks to the staff for taking such good care of my wife before I arrived

Amazing! Rooms and cute and spacious (for a hotel), gorgeous garden’s, lovely continental breakfast, 24 hour tea and barrister coffee available, customer service = outstanding.
I highly recommend paying a little bit more to stay at the Islington in Hobart

Beautiful place to stay. The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was an excellent size, nicely decorated and the king bed was very comfortable. The bathroom overhead shower rose was great and nice Aesop products too! We also ate in the glass conservatory restaurant and the food was very delicious. Really nice at night with the lights on, music playing and fire going.

My only feedback would be the windows needed a clean and no exhaust fan in bathroom.

Incredible. So unique. Quaint, boutique hotel. Would not want to be staying anywhere else. Absolutely coming here again. rooms were so comfortable and cosy. So many semi private living spaces around the house. The garden was so much fun. Picked many berries and stone fruit to eat in our room
