Islington Hotel

"Absolutely amazing experience - highly recommend for romantic getaways. The staff were without fault; from the introductions and service to the personalised touches, they were so accommodating, thoughtful and very friendly. The views are beautiful: mountain scale backgrounds and a beautiful well maintained garden that drew you in. Stunningly decorated with beautiful interior and exterior, and the romantic historic edge to staying in a heritage house with modern touches, it did not disappoint. Private sitting areas with active fireplaces, books, chess, eclectic artworks and little hideaways. The food was wonderful (lovely menu) with a welcoming and friendly chef, help-yourself cookies, scones, fruit, meringues and personalised teas. It was a wonderful time - will definitely be returning!"

"The Islington was recommended to us by friends and it certainly lived up to its reputation. A truly wonderful, first class experience, with professional, friendly staff and a spectacular location. Our suite was spacious and luxurious, with every convenience catered for. The little personal touches, like the evening bedtime tea and treats, were very appreciated. We particularly enjoyed the meld of old colonial past with the post modern newer build and decor. The dining too was exceptional, both of us enjoyed a 3 course birthday dinner to celebrate and the breakfast both mornings. All was beautifully presented and equally as delicious, with thoughtful vegan options also available for hubby. Only small issue was no lactose free milk 2 mornings in a row, so no coffee for me - as a dietary requirement for many, this should definitely be a staple on offer. Otherwise absolutely wonderful in every way."

"Wonderful Service. Exquisite grounds. Well appointed room. Stayed in the garden suite, would definitely recommend. Had a very relaxing little getaway. Views of the mountain are exquisite. Hot breakfast included. Would absolutely stay here again"

"My husband and I held our small 28 person wedding here in January. We booked the whole hotel exclusively so majority of our guests could stay the whole weekend. We were all blown away by the exceptional service we received, not only on our wedding day, but for the whole weekend. The level of service here is so hard to find. Everyone was constantly greeted by name by the very friendly staff and asked if they wanted barista-made coffee or refreshments. They had a turndown service including sleepy tea, daily treats and an all day pastry table. The whole hotel was beautiful and very clean/maintained. Everyone commented on how comfy the beds were! Marc (the manager) is extremely professional and hardworking. He helped us organise our wedding from interstate with multiple video calls and emails. Nothing was ever too much trouble and he always put our mind at ease. He ensured our wedding day ran smoothly, even with last minute changes and wet weather. We also had multiple video calls with the head chef Tony who was very accomodating with the menu and any dietary requirements. The food was fantastic and there was plenty of it! We couldn’t recommend the Islington hotel enough if you want an intimate wedding where everyone feels special!"

"Beautiful property with amazingly furnished rooms, architecture and landscape. We originally booked to have dinner there but couldn’t make it as our flight arrived a few hours late. We emailed the hotel and they’re nice enough to prepare us a cheese platter in our rooms. Breakfast was magnificent, so is the space we dined in. Can’t recommend Islington Hotel enough for your future stay at Hobart!"
