I cannot fault this stay.

It’s close to the main streets, food options are a short drive and a private luxury location feel. the breakfast is wonderful and the view is amazing of the mountains with snow on it!

The rooms are nice and the bathroom floor is heated which is unreal in the cold weather.

The staff were amazing and very attentive.

One of my favourite stays!

Touch of Luxury

Excellent and frequent communication pre-stay. Warmly greeted upon arrival, shown around the facility before being led to glorious Garden Courtyard room on lower floor. Very spacious room with either side of the bed having direct access to bathroom facilities, robes, ironing facilities and tea making facilities behind the bed head panel. Either side of bed had nooks for necessities, lamps with usb outlets, very convenient. A range of pillow types on offer. Gift chocolates on coffee table. Turn down service included heating being turned on, a tray with Islington dream tea, teapot, cups and little cake treats. Strolling around the meandering garden and water feature was delightful. There were places to sit and take in the ambience and enjoy watching the birdlife. Free access to a games room, library, sitting room. Beautiful dining area for a scrumptious breakfast, made to order by the chef whom could be seen from the open gallery kitchen. Good quality all round. Little treats were on the long bench table in front of kitchen that guests could partake of at any time with a barista service available. Bar facilities and service available up until 9.00pm. A book has been produced about the history of Islington dating back to the early 1800s. The grounds and the building are beautifully presented. Care has been taken in all aspects of the service to ensure guests have the best experience. Additional services are available if you want extra special experiences. We will visit again.

A wonderful stay with great ambience.

Really a wonderful stay for 4 nights. The room is large and well catered for longer stays. The staff was impeccable in their service. The only issue was that it is out of town and without a car there is an extra cost for transport. But for a 8 minute taxi hire or 22 minute walk it’s wasn’t a major issue. Very much recommend a stay at Islington Hotel.

In addition to preparing delicious breakfasts, they also created a host of beautiful dessert treats available to guests all day long. We loved our spacious garden terrace room with its view of Mt.

Amazing 5⭐️ Accommodation in Hobart

Beautiful, beautiful private hotel. A sense of calm greets you as you walk through the front door and glide through the sitting rooms, dining room and kitchen, before being presented to your room. Whilst the building, the decor, the food and wine are superb, the real trump card is the service. The team at Islington go out of their way to accommodate special requests, prepare drinks and meals to your request. The ultimate for me, when the Chef saw me struggling with my bags after breakfast and downed his cooking utensils and offered assistance. We will definitely be back. Thank you Eliza, Mark and Kate.

This hotel was luxurious but also welcoming and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful and so well tended. The included breakfast choices were varied and everything we tried was lovely. Unfortunately we were unaware that dinner wasn't offered on Mondays and Tuesdays this time of year, so be sure to check if that's what you are interested in. We spent a relaxing day moving around the well appointed sitting rooms, in front of the fire in the atrium and being spoilt by the staff.

This is my second visit to the Islington. The stand outs for me were the amazing views from the room, overlooking Mt Wellington. And the amazing fresh food, prepared by in house chefs. If you stay, ensure you have dinner at the in house restaurant. Incredible food, the chefs are very talented.

When we arrived at the Islington our expectations were high - very high. We were not disappointed. In fact; the Islington went far beyond our demanding expectations.

From the moment Emily's cheerful voice welcomed us at the automatic gateway’s speaker, to her informative, introductory tour of this historic building that is steeped in rich history, its fine artwork, and fine dining, the Islington provided a superb experience.

The a la carte dinner & breakfast menus are as enticing as they are delicious and they are augmented with a fine range of local produce - some of which, even sourced from Islington's own gardens (which are quite extensive, and well-worth exploring).

The fresh fruit arrays were absolutely sumptuous. (There was the option of one dessert made from the Nashi Pears growing on the enormous Nashi tree in the garden).

All the staff are excellent and respectfully attentive without being intrusive at all.

The array of alcoholic beverages is extensive (I think I counted at least 10 high-range Gin brands). For the wine lover; you can even move to the superb Grange Hermitage range if this is within your budget!

The room we enjoyed was tastefully decorated & afforded us a complimentary bar-fridge (non-alcoholic drinks). You may purchase alcohol by the glass or, by the bottle. Costs are simply added to your room's account & are paid at checkout.

Highly recommended!

Amazing boutique hotel-makes you feel at home

Small hotel near Hobart (10 min walk) with amazing Rooms, staff, food! Every detail makes you feel like you’re in your own home not a hotel. The staff are super friendly and amazing at taking care of you throughout your stay. This was a great end to our Australian adventure and can’t wait to stay here again!

Great luxury small Inn

The Islington is a wonderful place to stay in Hobart. I was initially going to book downtown, but decided to try the Islington. I was very pleased with that decision. We had a great dinner at the property. The room was quite and comfortable, and we had a garden patio out our back door.

The staff was very helpful, and the setting with the house and art work, makes you feel like you are staying with a rich relative that had very good taste.

we had a good time staying in hotel and the garden (Mountain) view room is amazing.

all staffs in hotel are really professional and friendly.

it is a small hotel with privacy, you cannot tell from outside, we thought it is just someone's home. but, inside, it is amazing with its living rooms, reading rooms and dinning area, as well as they grow vegs and fruits in the garden. the food is perfect, so much higher than our expectation.

if you are looking for a place to escape and relax, if you want the experience of luxury hotel services, please do go Islington hotel for a visit.

So accommodating and welcoming

I had to book a room at the last minute due to a mild emergency, and the staff were so accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure myself and my boyfriend were settled in well. Would not hesitate to stay here again - the rooms are lovely and the shared areas (dining, reading) are absolutely beautiful. And the food is incredible - it was the best meal I had in Hobart.

Paradise in disguise of a Hotel!

What a place to be in! It's unlike any other expensive 5 Star property. We were treated exceptionally special by Jessica from the moment we stepped in and throughout our stay. The entire staff are talented and especially the gastronomic pleasures we derived by Chef Mark's out of the world dishes and served by Emily. Can't thank them enough for making our short trip so memorable and relaxing. History of the property hoes back to 1847 and 31 pages are worth reading on their iPad. Definitely going back. It is an utter miss if not stayed in Islington at least once in life.

Lovely stay at the Islington - thank you!

We loved our stay the Islington, and would definitely recommend it. The hotel was just as gorgeous as the pictures, and really did make you feel at home. From the casual but welcoming check in, to freshly baked cakes daily, gorgeous rooms with deep tubs, and roaring fireplaces, we felt immediately comfortable. Great for a romantic weekend away.

Elegantly perfect

We really needed a break and our stay at Tge Islington delivered that in spades. The rooms were private and spacious - the perfect blend of historic and new. The food fresh, modern and finely crafted by the private chefs. My favourite part of our stay was sharing our adventures with the Islington team at the kitchen bench - all were happy to hear about our trips and offered up suggestions on things to do. We'll be back!
