    “The best value accommodation in Hobart.”

    I booked YHA Hobart Central for my first trip to Tasmania without high expectations. However, it completely exceeded them and turned out to be a fantastic facility for backpackers. The cleanliness, location, and staff (Abbey, Dean, and the other female staff member) were exceptional; they truly did their best to help resolve any issues. Thank you, everyone! I hope the rest of my stay goes just as well—I keep extending my stay here.

    “It was fun!”

    It was really nice to have Woolworths nearby, and the hygiene was good, and the bathroom was convenient! The staff were also very friendly! The only downside was that the induction stove in the kitchen was extremely inconvenient and the kitchen...is small...very small...

    Thank you Eunjo for your excellent feedback! We are so glad you had a good stay and enjoyed the central locating and the cleanliness of our establishment. Indeed, our kitchen is fairly small, but we hope that our recent renovations are helping with the flow :) We hope to see you again very soon! Lixie

    “A trip for two with a friend.”

    It is located about a 5-minute walk from the bus drop-off at the airport, and there are also places like the port and the Hobart tourist information center very close by, which made it a very convenient location! The kitchen felt a bit small, but it didn't feel crowded or messy. Even though there were only two bathrooms on the floor where I stayed, there was never a clash in timing, and I was able to spend my time comfortably! The service attitude was also very good; the friendly staff always responded warmly and politely! I would love to stay again.

    “This is such a great location.”

    It’s right in the heart of everything, with incredibly easy access to shopping, the wharf, and all the tours.

    “Travel in Hobart”

    I am a twenty-something female guest who traveled alone. Everything was perfect except for the stairs being too high, making it hard to carry my luggage up. If I travel to Hobart again, I plan to stay here again. I enjoyed the free experience of seeing wild platypuses, and the staff's hospitality was very kind. The accommodation was quiet and suitable for solo travelers looking to stay for a short time. I recommend this place to travelers planning to travel alone.

    Thank you, Jisu, for your excellent review! Indeed, our building has its quirks and doesn't come with an elevator due to it being a heritage building, but we are so glad you made it work! Thank you for joining our platypus walk! We hope to see you again very soon :) Lixie
