Grande Vue

My goodness..... I cannot rave about this beautiful hotel enough!!!! Photos on their website do not do it justice. Will be my go-to whenever I am visiting Hobart. I stayed in the Mabel Hookey room and the view, to be able to lay in bed and watch 1st light and sunrise with a cuppa was the icing on the cake! Every attention to detail has been thought out from the afternoon tea to the blues/ jazz music played softly throughout the common spaces, especially while enjoying a wine in front of the gas heater in the sitting area.

Spectacular views envelopes your stay at Grand Vue, however, nearly overshadowed by the equisite accommodation and wonderful service. We will visit again and again and again ... K & J.

Highly recommend this hotel. Ash is so lovely and goes out of his way to help. Beautiful rooms and ideal location

Do not book too long ahead of your stay at hotel! Just make sure you do Not have a health issue within the 14 days of your arrival as there will be no refund! Not even for one night out of five booked, and not even if you are a faithful multi-returning customer! I have been to the hotel every year since it was purchased by the current owners (Ash Fleming and Brock Gardner) about four years ago. I did go to the hotel when under another management from mid-2018. I also went to the hotel when under the original management (Annette & John) eight times, some years twice in the year. Annette & John are to be fully recognised for the amazingly magnificent and comprehensive building works, architecture, and classy choice of design that turned an almost a derelict building to the truly unique gem that the hotel is now. I will always remember the 6pm daily room delivery of a home made sweet made by Annette and delivered to my room by John leaving a lovely homely smell in the hallway. Such a personalised lovely gestures leave indelible memories and create a bond between people. As consumed professionals they were always discreet too. Prior to this hotel, Annette & John managed a bed & breakfast for 15 years and they knew the hotel business inside out, but, this was a Lot More than a Business for them. They were always there with their warm welcome, they actually lived at the hotel. Unfortunately for me, they had to retire and sell the hotel. I immediately communicated with the hotel owner about my arrival being on Friday instead of Thursday and explained that I had a CTscan and I was at the emergencies early week. It was the First Time Ever, that I had to change my arrival date in the hotel. Honestly I had not looked at cancellation policy and I was naturally expecting that given the number of times I had been there and given that the owner was made aware of the health reason i will get a refund for the Thursday night. Well, i was dead wrong! Whether you are a faithful multi-returning customer or not, whether you have an unexpected health reason or not, whether you comply with their request to remove your review They have a business to run, don’t they? I was offered that if I come back, Maybe, they can do a bit of discount. They are aware that because of my rapidly deteriorating health, returning to their hotel is rather compromised. They have a business to run, don’t they? Nonetheless, I was shocked by the tone of voice used to say:”I Don’t do refunds!”

Everything you could wish for in the centre of Battery Point. Rooms clean tidy, fresh cakes and biscuits delivered to your room each day. Walking distance Salamanca market. Last but definitely not least the hosts are awsome - kind friendly and only too willing to help with whatever you require. We have been staying here for the past 7 years and will never look elsewhere.
