In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Ibis Styles Hobart is an Accor property with a modern look, on Macquarie Street in central Hobart. It's a 10-storey building with around 296 rooms — one of the largest hotels in Tasmania. The draw here is the bright, contemporary design, which keeps it from feeling like a budget stay. Every room has a big rain shower, a flat-screen TV, and tea and coffee gear, and the rooms are clean and easy to live in.
Food and amenities
The feature that wins guests over is the heated indoor pool and the 2 saunas — in a city as cold as Hobart, having a warm indoor pool at this price point is a real bargain. There's a gym too, plus an Asian street-food restaurant called Mr Good Guy with a bar, a 24-hour front desk, and meeting space. Parking is available underground for an extra charge.
Location and getting there
The hotel sits right in the city center, so you can walk to most things. It's about a 10-12 minute walk to Salamanca Market and roughly 10 minutes to the Sullivans Cove waterfront. That puts it a little further from the harbor than the dock-side hotels, but everything central is still on foot. Real-guest scores land around 8.9, while rates start at just about $74 a night.
Things to know before booking
This is a large hotel and the rooms follow the standard chain design, so expect something functional rather than full of character. Being in the city center, it's further from the water than the harbor-front hotels — count on about a 10-minute walk to Sullivans Cove. The underground parking is an extra cost, and during summer and festival season the best rates climb toward the upper end of the range.
Our take
Ibis Styles Hobart is best for families and travelers who want a 4-star with a pool at a budget-friendly price. If you care most about value and want a warm indoor pool to thaw out in after a cold day, this is the stay guests point you to — comfortable, central, and easily the best value of the 4-star options here.
