Edinburgh Gallery Bed & Breakfast

Stayed for 4 nights. Great that they had exclusive parking lots at the back of the B&B. Not exactly inside center of town, but easily walkable. Very endearing owner, John, who was more than happy to chat and share travel tips. Wife and kids weren't too thrilled with bathrooms being outside of our rooms though. apart from that, it was a pleasant stay, in a quaintly decorated B&B, comfortable beds and basic (self served) breakfast.

First of all, John the host is a gem. I only stayed one night which is a shame in such a nice historic place. I only eat Corn Flakes for breakfast but it is nice that you can help yourself all the time. The rooms are beautiful - I like it old fashioned. I was worried about the noise of traffic as the windows are old but it soon quietend down. There are not many sockets to load all the electronic gadgets we have nowadays but that is the way in an old house. I used the one for the kettle. I would stay again. It was in good walking distance to town. Parking was not easy - it is best to park backwards and it goes uphill. I had a small car and there is a big crack just at the bottom, so I had to step on the gas quite heavily to get over it.

Well run B&B with help yourself breakfast kitchen . Fruit available 24hrs. Tea/ coffee in room . Short walk to harbour. Short walk to park/ stream - lovely sighting of two platypus and panmelons . Comfortable and quiet. I would be prepared to stay again.

I have stayed here a few times over the years and look forward to going back this coming weekend. First time I shared the double room with a friend, subsequent stays were in the gorgeous non-ensuite queen room, this time will be the single room. This place has real atmosphere, I would even say gravitas, presence. There is something sublime about the building and the way in which it has been decorated, especially up the stairs and on the first floor. For significantly less than a new, modern hotel in the centre of town you can in my opinion enjoy a far cosier and warmer room than those cold, overpriced clone hotels. The appeal of which has never made sense to me and I regard this as a vastly preferable option. It is true, it's not for everyone but if you appreciate things with a bit more of a sense of culture and care for aesthetics then Edinburgh Gallery would be a good choice. Yes, the upstairs bathroom is a bit small and I am not that tall or large but it's still nice and cosy and that's a minor concern. The dining area downstairs is really nice as well.

This is a fabulous B &B. Rooms are great, superbly clean and comfortable. It's such a relaxing beautiful large house. John is great, a lovely helpful very delightful person. Breakfast is help yourself, and there is a huge variety provided for breakfast . My husband and I loved our stay and would definitely stay again. It's central for all the great sights and places of interest in Hobart.
