The hostel had a great vibe with friendly staff and a cool bar. The facilities were clean, spacious, and had everything I needed. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the main attractions and markets.
The hostel could get a bit noisy at times, especially at night. The dorm room I stayed in was a bit cramped and didn't have enough storage space.

The free breakfast and tour were a nice touch, and the location was perfect for exploring the city. the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the communal areas were comfortable and inviting.
The accommodation itself left a lot to be desired. the rooms were cramped and felt dirty, and the noise from other guests made it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

Friendly staff, convenient location, and good amenities. The staff members were always welcoming and helpful and the amenities provided were satisfying. The location of the hotel was very convenient for us as it was within walking distance to the city center and to some key attractions.
The hotel was in a pretty old building which was not properly maintained. The noise from other guests coming and going was very disturbing, it felt like we were sleeping in a corridor.

I had a fantastic stay at "Pros" in Hobart. The atmosphere was perfect, with a great mix of social spaces and quiet sleeping areas. The funky artwork and lounge areas added a cool vibe to the hostel. The well-equipped kitchen made cooking meals a breeze. The bed in my private room was incredibly comfortable, ensuring two nights of restful sleep. I also appreciated the enforcement of quiet time in the late evening, allowing me to relax and unwind. Additionally, the location of the hostel was excellent, with plenty of things to do and explore nearby. I highly recommend this hostel for a wonderful stay in Hobart.

The communal space at The Pickled Frog was absolutely amazing! There were plenty of cozy sofas and tables where we could relax and meet other guests. It had such a homely atmosphere, and we quickly made friends with lots of nice people. Additionally, the location was perfect, right by the CBD and the skybus stop. Our room upstairs was really good, and we felt right at home.

I had a fantastic time staying at The Pickled Frog. The atmosphere was amazing and it was so easy to meet people from all over the world. The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The kitchen had all the necessary utensils and equipment, although there could have been more tea towels. The bathrooms were clean and the whole place had a quirky and artistic vibe. I felt secure throughout my stay with the lockers and security measures in place. The free tours and local information provided by the hostel were a great touch. The rooms had good airflow and lighting, although the beds were a bit firm. Considering the low price, this place was definitely value for money. I highly recommend staying at this hostel for a unique and enjoyable experience.
