The central location is a draw, though restaurants are scant in the surrounding streets. The breakfast includes hot carbs, quite enjoyable. The view of the lush green park in the roundabout was pleasing. Staff were always pleasant, smiling, polite and willing to help. However, the cable TV says it has hundreds of movies... in reality, there were just fifteen movies, a range that would have been acceptable if the movie titles included high-brow ones.

Location is a bit disconcerting- right on a roundabout where two major roads converge but traffic noise wasn’t too bad (on 2nd floor). Easy walking distance to everywhere. Easy to get out of town to the airport.

Big clean room at convenient location

The room was big, clean and well-equipped. It should be termed a service apartment instead of hotel. The toiletries were great! Few minutes walk to Woolworths and the shopping street.

The room had 1 light not working which was not fixed although the reception told us that it had been. We tried to have dinner in the restaurant and were told that vegetables were not available unless a tour had booked in. That made no sense whatsoever so we left to find somewhere more suitable.

So sad that this is the last time we could stay at The Fountainside. Wishing all the staff the very best for their futures. Thanks so much for the many times we've stayed. Will really miss such a wonderful location, wonderfully affordable rates and most of all the exceptional customer service from all the staff.

These other ratings are unjustified. For one, the road noise alone deserves a downgrade of a point or two. It is continuous with exception of 1am to 3am. Buses, semis, harleys, cars, etc either zoom by or down or up shift at the intersections lights. Plus squeaky brakes. All rooms face the road. They say double glass. If so, they need triple. And they dont open. And it is next to a hospital. They join in the cacaphony too. Plus it can be downgraded for its age, drabness and general unappealing appearance. It is more of a motel in character. Plus the staff is not exactly friendly. I never received a smile or hello. When i checked in the one person on call was in the bathroom. She then gave me some passive aggressive cheek when i declined to allow repair workers access to my room at 10am to replace curtains. They allowed them entry anyway while i was at lunch. They could have stolen anything they wanted to. Im sure the hotel would not have accepted liability. And no lock boxes. Plus the hotel could have assigned me a room NOT under repair, right? If it had to do this. Nope. The customer be damned. It is our hotel. The only positives were the maid service. Although they poisoned the room every day with liters of cloying deoderant that has to cause lung damage. And the rooms were mostly newish. They could deserve a one star, but, im being kind. These other marks seem suspicious. One sentence reviews? General puffery. If this is a top property, maybe Hobart needs a wake up call.

Great location, slightly run down property

The staff and the location were great, but this property seems as if it's being a big neglected. Looking / feeling a bit run down.

On a busy road, as a map would indicate, they did their best with 10 mm glass, which is reasonable at keeping traffic noise down. End room was very private and other room noise was minimal. Mattresses are not coil spring but foam, a bit cheap for my liking. The complimentary water and toiletries, which smell fantastic, were a thoughtful touch. Location is good. Was disappointed that they sent in a curtain installer in the morning, a bit of an invasion and the new curtains were not very functional, old ones were great. Staff were accommodating with late check out and day storage for our luggage. Price was good, and so overall, aside from a few gripes, this was a pretty good place to stay.
