Location was great, but that is all that is good for Blue Hills. Advertised free "on-site" parking - but only 9 parking spaces for 29 units!! 77 steps from road to our room. Bit tough for elderly with heavy bags, with sharp steel protruding from a number of the steps. Reception hours pathetic - doubt that they are prepared to face complaints "face to face". Note following: No toilet roll holder. Only 1 towell rail. A number of lights not working. Many broken panels of glass in stairwell and room. Exposed electrical cables outside room that should have been in conduit. Exposed "taped up 240 volt power cables" in room. No coffee provided. Could not find any firehoses on upper levels. I am would be surprised that this property meets required loacl by-laws and workplace health and safety requirements.

Budget for a reason…the room was poorly presented, very dusty and dirty. The bathroom layout lacked thought and the window blinds were absolutely filthy. Overall, the building is in very poor condition and requires significant maintenance and repair. The location is excellent and the bed was comfortable.

Room was clean and tidy, bed comfortable. But we woke up to a hotbox.. no way to get fresh air, no fan to turn on, and the large window was like a heater even with the blinds closed.

It had good views and a handy location. The check-out instructions mentioned a drop-box for keys but I didn't see it. I just put them back in the lock-box. There are only 6 rooms on the ground floor and lots of stairs so be prepared to carry your luggage up them. No extra blanket or pillows, or face cloths. Very old building with a poorly executed cosmetic update. All week before our arrival, I kept getting messages asking for photo ID to make sure it was us checking in. I thought this was scam email because I've worked in hotels and stayed in many and this has never been required before. I ignored all those messages and was able to check-in successfully. If those messages are from the hotel, they need to stop sending them.

You can reach the main city attractions and restaurants on foot, so it is recommended for regular tourists. The room facilities are simple but sufficient, making it very worthwhile at this price.

Room was clean and had what we needed. Checking in after reception had closed was simple and easy. Glad we arrived in time to access a car park on the premises, would've stressed if all the parks were full as only limited on-site parking.

The premises looked very unloved with torn carpet on the stairs one of the first things you see. Every step had badly torn carpet. The walls were marked everywhere and the noise levels of slamming doors was consistent throughout the night. We booked here as a last resort 3 days before we needed somewhere to stay in Hobart. Next time this happens, we will pay the extra $$ rather than stay at Blue Hills. We stayed there around 20 years ago and had good memories of it then. Those good memories have now been erased!!
