Mountain View Motel

Heater, I loved the heater! Middle of summer could still be very cold. We had a kitchen in our apartment, so didn't need to use the commune facilitates for cooking. Plenty of hot water in the shower. Quiet location. Easy access.

Missing some things in the kitchen like bowl for morning cereals. Older cooktop but did the job. Bathroom not overly clean but we were given fresh batch of towel every morning although no shower gel, just shampoo/conditioner. We were supposed to have a free champagne on arrival but there was a note inside the apartment saying if we use any of the drinks from the fridge we need to pay, so that was confusing. It would be nice if there are some tea/coffee bags and little milk boxes we could use for breakfast like we did at other properties.

Had everything we needed and more for one night stay between Hobart and Cradle Mountain. The windy drive down into the town is amazing. This Motel has great facilities, especially in the kitchen! The beds are comfy and the room itself was very spacious and the shower was great. We never actually met the motel staff as we checked in via phone call but we got a room upgrade due to some ongoing building work in the dorms, bonus!

Nothing! The town itself is so quiet but that adds to the experience of staying here, there is still a supermarket close by if you need it.

9 people from Singapore stayed two nights. 24 Sep 23 and 26 Sep 23. We were very impressed. The bed is comfortable and warm. The rooms are also cosy and warm. Mountain view is good, fantastic. Price is very reasonable. No problem with virtual check-in. Just call the number provided and you will be given number to access the box to collect the unit keys. Happened to meet the host, Henry who is very friendly and generous. Didn't charge us when we mistakenly opened a bottle of wine. Refused to charge though we offered to pay. Thank you.

Kitchen better equipped will definitely make the stay a perfect one.

We'd originally booked a twin backpackers room. When we arrived, it was raining and due to rain for the whole time we were there. Reception upgraded us to a nice motel room instead without question. These hadn't shown as available when I booked. Breakfast wasn't included, but the crockery/cutlery/milk/tea/coffee/sugar were provided. These made organising our own brekky easy.

The facilities are quite old. The bathroom probably needs a bit more work as the floor was quite rickety beneath the lino. All in all though, we were quite happy with this place and considered we got good value for the money we paid.

Basically i loved that place because it was spacious and no other people there. Only thing which kept me from a 10 star rating were the annoying beeping fire alarms in several of the other locked rooms nearby, they each beeped every like 60 seconds Beautiful location, plenty of parking Good to know: If you book a 'Single Dorm room' its not a dorm room you share with other people but a private room. They may call it dorm because its shared bathrooms. @Owner: Other accommodations would call it like - (Budget) Single room with shared bathroom - (Budget) Twin room with shared bathroom - (Budget) Doubble room with shared bathroom You would probably get more bookings with that naming..

My stay at Mountain View Motel went smoothly. It's budget lodging. No insurmountable issues to report. Check-in was virtual (over the phone), which made me relieved I had a travel SIM and a strong signal. Parking was easy. Everything was clean and functioned as expected. Communication was clear. I slept well there. Easy come, easy go. If I found myself back in the area, I'd most likely return.

Wifi was unreliable. I resorted to using my phone as a hotspot, which worked well.

The site was easy to find, had a fully equipped communal kitchen and laundry. The color scheme was modern and all new linen. Parking just outside your room

The virtual check in - makes it hard to use the laundry if they are not on site as you need $1 coins with no change machine available. Please update you Bookings photos to show how good your site really is - you are under selling yourself

The motel is easy to reach and to park. The reception was closed/on remote when we arrived but we could get our keys from the key boy quickly after a quick call to the number at the door. Nice spacious rooms, clean bed, warm shower. We were happy to stay there.

Not many food options after a certain time... kitchen was closed and the only access to food/drinks was the minibar and vending machine. We went to another hotel for dinner.

Love everything about this place. Ok, it's not the Hilton... it's BETTER 😁😁 So much character, steeped in history and it simply oozes love and personality... I've travelled the world for the last 46 years, stayed in some of the top hotels... but for some reason we just fell in love with this most humble of motels. Clean, comfortable, has everything you could possibly need...

Would be good if reception had a real face to hand over the keys.

Perfect location (walkable to town), had everything I needed (kettle, toaster, microwave, fridge). Heater worked well, plenty of hot water and one of the best 'budget' motels I've stayed in.

Just a very strong 'sweet' smell - not sure if it was a cleaning product or air freshener. I coped with it but it would have triggered an asthma attack in those susceptible to it.
