Ah gee, trying to narrow down the vastness of things I liked about staying here feels hard. I'll try though: the atmosphere of Battery Point, the super comfy bed, the gigantic claw foot bath tub, a super quick walk into the city, the best restaurants in Hobart a few metres away yet somehow it felt like a peaceful suburban area. The Wellington apartment was perfection in its historical set up. I could still feel the floors bouncing from when it was a pub. The decor of antiques was incredible. A laundry room out the back. Watching the olympics in a warm cozy room with a fluffy blanket, a cup of coffee from the provided coffee pod and a croissant from the bakery up the street. I stayed here to be part of the Beakers St Science Festival and often walked home late at night alone and still felt safe! I have such fond fond memories I will take with me in my heart from the Grand Old Duke.

Hmm..I wished the fireplace was working, but I understand why it's not.

The location is excellent, and the decor is rich and interesting. The back yard area is also lovely, with trees, blossoms and a nice table to sit with coffee etc.

The layout of the apartment is very strange. Having the bathroom/toilet in the middle between the two bedrooms means that a person would need to pass through it every time you want to enter or exit the small bedroom. Note that the food preparation area is also in the small bedroom. I would say that for parties needing more than one bedroom you would need to be on very familiar terms. We are a straightforward couple, and it was fine for us.

Fantastic location in Battery Point. 5 min walk to Salamanca place. Many little restaruants and cafes within 100m. Dozens more within a 15 min walk. Two bedrooms (one Queen bed in the lounge area) with a separating large bathroom. Comfortable with small fridge and tea/coffee/microwave. AC. Spacious. Quiet. Good wifi. I would stay here again. Fast and helpful communication from the host.

Parking could be a concern as on street is 2hrs during daytime - id check with the owner if i was driving.

What a great surprise we had as we climbed the stairs to our apartment, it was just absolutely beautiful . Large kitchen and a beautiful lounge/dining room . Bedrooms were just lush and the beds were comfy. Apartment was in a great location and was only a minute or two walk away from the essential coffee hit.So close to Arthur’s circle and a short walk to Salamanca Place . Can’t wait to return .

The heritage building was comfortable and beautifully appointed . The host was friendly and supplied us with some fresh fruit from his farm. The location of Grand Old Duke was terrific with excellent restaurants and cafes close by.

The shower over the bath with no grab rails was difficult for 2 elderly women. The shower screen was not fixed and was quite dangerous as it was the only thing to grab onto.

Everything. Perfect location, apartment was beautiful. Owner was so friendly and helpful with us arriving earlier and then helping us store our luggage. So close to walking everywhere. Beautiful area. Quiet location. Would stay here again for sure. Such beautiful rooms. Felt like staying in more to enjoy the apartment. Short stroll to Salamanca. The building itself has so much history.

Ticked all the boxes for us , parking seemed limited around the area but we didn’t have a car so didn’t affect us. There is one space next to our apartment ( Wellington) though.

Beautiful decor and building. We felt like we’d stepped back in time when staying in the Cambridge Apartment. We loved the location and the care the owners have taken to look after this historical building from the 1850s.

Funny buzzing sound from some of the PowerPoints. All seemed fine. Also some random tapping in the night (perhaps a friendly ghost?!)

Loved the old world charm and location was great, within metres of great cafes and restaurants- we didn’t need the car at all! Also great value for money.

Only one car space for the whole property so can get abit tricky competing with other guests to park. Limited unrestricted parking in the area.

Location, Location, Location! 3 minute walk to great bakery/cafe and restaurants. We enjoyed a bakery pic-nic breakfast in Arthur Circus Park located essentially next to the Grand Old Duke. Easy walk to Salamanca area and wharf. Quiet at night. Our apartment (Cambridge) was really more of a studio suite than an apartment - fine for having breakfast in the apartment. Enjoyed staying in hotel with history.

fantastic welcoming place - in particular with the kitchen, a fresh bowl of cherries was a fabulous addition!

The microwave needs a clean between guests - I think the previous guest had some microwave pasta boil over and it was still on the spinning plate, but I cleaned it out so no big deal, just needs to be added to the cleaning checklist.
