I stayed here for 9 days in early March. Overall, my experience staying here was very positive. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the check-in process was easy. To check in, head to the front section on Sandy Bay Road. There's a bar and bistro, although I did not try the food. There's plenty of parking out the back if you hire a car. Close to public transport. A short walk from Wrest Point, Battery Point, Salamanca Place, Constitution Dock/Franklin Wharf area, and Hobart City. There's a petrol station next door if you need fuel, supplies or an ATM. The rooms are on the small side, but it was big enough for myself. Beds were comfy. They give you copious amounts of tea and coffee (thank you). The air-conditioning kept me warm. There's an ironing board and an iron. The bathroom was great and the water pressure was good. They give you shampoo, conditioner, soap etc. The rates were very good compared to other places around the city. As this also has a pub attached, be aware that there can be some noise, but it generally dies down after 10:00 pm. I was quite surprised in the Wi-Fi. I had no drop-outs every, single night I needed to complete some work! I would recommend staying here if you want a cheap, clean and convenient place to stay.

Very convenient location, just on the Main Street so very easy access to food, they have a bar just right downstairs food. Very clean room, loved the shower! There’s a mini fridge and ironing board available and there’s wifi!

The staff here are so welcoming as well as helpful. I had a day tour in Hobart and needed their help, they went far and beyond what I have ever experienced in a hotel. Beautiful hotel with so much charm. I highly recommend and will always book when ever I visit. Thanks guys so much.

Went here the other night for a last minute dinner and the staff were so friendly and accommodating! The food was absolutely delicious and of a generous size! Thank you for a great experience! We will be back!

Clean and tidy. The bar downstairs is great and not too loud at night. Facility’s are great. The rooms and small, but so is the cost! The staff keep the please very clean and no bad smells!

Dining room was very warm, with a very warm day out side no aircon. Food was excellent, especially there steaks, well presented and service was a bit of a wait, 30 minutes. But it was packed with people as well. $13 for a craft beer.

Dined 2 nights in a row because the 1st nights meal was terrific. Service is great and we had table service both nights. Staff were friendly and efficient and personable. Would definitely recommend

Amazing food, great atmosphere and top notch service. Generous portions (seniors & kids options available), excellent drink selection. Good idea to book as it's popular.

Great service, friendly staff. Beautiful food. Classic pub food done with style. We'll definitely be back.

Group of 5 met for lunch, would advise booking. Very friendly helpful staff. Food was excellent and very good pricing. Service was quick. No pressure to eat and leave. Got quite busy . Parking at rear and some can be found on Sandy Bay Rd. Highly recommended.

Good meals. Great service.. it's a shame the surf n turf sauce wasn't on top of the meat, and not mainly on the plate . chips under your snitz.. ☹️ big no, no

Have only been for lunches recently, but I have not been disappointed yet! Amazingly consistent meals across the menu with some good specials. Very reasonably priced with a seniors and kids menu.

Had dinner there with friends before concert at Wrest Point. Great place, reasonable prices and good food. The prawns in my linguine were a tad overcooked, and the cream sauce was a cheese overload... I'll just choose better next time, because hubby's parmigiana and friends' trevalla and pork ribs (respectively) were delicious. Nice ambience and pleasant surprise not to be ripped off because it's Sandy Bay.

We had a family dinner while on holiday. The food was pub food, albeit maybe a couple fo dollars per meal more than we would have expected. The service staff were friendly and the food was pretty much the quality you expect from a pub meal. It wasn't high end, but it was good and there were no complaints.

My 90 year old mum had the seafood chowder. I tasted it towards the end of her meal as she doesn't eat mussels but I do.I had a mouthful and it had an overwhelmingly burnt taste. She didn't detect this because her taste buds are not great . 8 hours later she was throwing up for 6 hours. Health department inspected the premises and said her symptoms are consistent with foodborne illness. Management were very good to deal with and agreed to discard the remaining soup they had prepped. Overall a total let down.

Lovely pub, popular with locals, always a good sign. Excellent wait staff. Good idea to book.

I first learnt about this location from one of my disability participants and have eaten there now a few times, and nothing wrong to say. My first meal was saddle lamb broccolini and new potatoes, which was very nice. My next one recently I tried the picture lamb souvlaki 😊

Thoroughly enjoyed the slow cooked pork loin and yummy potatoes and greens. There were 8 of us and all the meals came out together (a rare treat) hot and fresh. No one disappointed. Service was great too. Will definitely return

I would advise again staying in room 9, it is the smallest room I have ever stayed in my life, you couldn't swing a cat. It was clean and the hotel is is a great location.

Really enjoyed staying there. Great value room. Professional staff. Decent meals. Less than $10 taxi fare to HOBART CBD. Would recommend.

If you dont come here then you are missing out on one of the best pubs in Hobart area. Situated in Sandy Bay with ample parking at rear its a great place for a generous sized meal and the staff are bloody brilliant. We had 3 nights here for dinner and would loved more. Crumbed Tassie scallops are a bargain.

First night in Hobart travelling from Qld and stumbled across this pub. WOW!!! Food and dining experience was amazing. Menu extensive and delicious. Not your average pub - pleasantly surprised and would definitely return.

4 meals, all above what was expected, prices on par with what you would expect, service was more than excellent, I would recommend every day if the week.. was hoping for a pub meal but got much more, high end for a discounted price. Will recommend and will return for sure

Today 4 of us were at Dr Syntax for lunch we have dined here a few times now always satisfied and a nice meals. Three out of four of us today were happy with the meals but have to say that the slow cooked lamb curry was somewhat very disappointing. It was more like a bowl of vegetables with a few bits of lamb which to me was not slow cooked or it would have fallen apart? No curry detected at all was also supposed to have coconut in it but no taste of coconut at all as for a curry taste nothing I think maybe the curry mixture was waved over what was in the bowl was so looking forward to a lamb curry. Service was great and the staff were quite friendly.

Stayed a night here, lovely large clean room. Spotless bathroom. Fully equipped, with tea and coffee and milk. Mattress needs an upgrade, room was very noisy from traffic, room was very light even with blinds down. Otherwise would give 5 stars for meals, location and cleanliness. Great atmosphere with plenty of TV's in eating areas to watch sport, and heaters were turned on to warm up outside areas. Staff super friendly.

Excellent food!! Ate there 2 nights in a row and would have gone a third, but discovered it too late. Had the roast lamb first night - huge serve and delicious! Second night had the seafood moray - rich and too die for! Best pub food I’ve had in a longtime - large and extensive menu, which is unusual these days. Will definitely be back for more when back in Hobart!

Budget accommodation close to shops on Sandy Bay road. Room was spotless with private bathroom. Only gripe we had it was a bit dark as only window was in bathroom. Good value though

Was a good this experience. Places goodly drink for eating and. Nice back doors out drinking side. Again goes will we.

My goodness, delicious food that was more than expected. The pork belly was crunchy succulent and moreish. The parmy was fantastic! Service was friendly prompt and excellent all rolled into one. Definitely worth a visit more than once!

Fantastic food. Nice enough service. The restaurant felt a bit grimy and in need of TLC. It was also ridiculously hot inside. Our table asked for the air-conditioning to be turned on, apparently it was. Outdoor area looked nice, others must have thought so to as it was full.

This is my most favourite restaurant ever. The foods are just amazing, as they said "you will never hungry at Dr.syntax" the portion are huge. The steak are just perfect. The drinks option are great too, I love the cider on tap. I suggests you to book first so you can get the table inside.

Hotel Review. Room was clean, outfitted with modern idea type furniture. Could be a little loud depending on the bar and not the comfiest bed/cushions. Receptionist was friendly. Only a short walk directly into Salamanca, or a slightly longer walk going through battery point. Plenty of on site parking and not far from Sandy bay for groceries/pick of many Asian restaurants. Would recommend for a central no frills clean option.

Meals were HUGE . Great family hotel friendly staff and reasonably priced. Good value for money . Would definitely eat there again.Staff even offered to pack anything we couldn't eat to take away.
