Stayed there around xmas '08, booked the room online (their own website) and it was amazing for the price ($150 per night). Brand new, everything in great condition, good location (can walk into Hobart). Parking out the back, would definately recommend.

Approximate cost: $150

Have been a member of other gyms but really like the boutique style of this gym. It's small but always enough equipment, never have to wait to use a machine as it's not packed. No intimidating 'gym junkies', just regular people. Staff very friendly.

Have been there quite a few times. Good food, sometimes can be a bit busy so service gets a little slow, but always friendly. Meals are good size for money. Typical tex-mex style food.

Approximate cost: $18

Went there the other week based on recommendations on Womow. Excellent service, didn't have to wait even though I was early. Very friendly. Good haircut, think the previous haircut was a bit dodgy so Lee did the best she could to fix it. Will go again.

Approximate cost: $55

Took my car to get a roadworthy check done as I wanted to sell it. They took one and a half days just to do the check (even though I'd booked in a week prior), then told me I had $1700 worth of repairs to do (much more than I expected as I have kept the car serviced). I asked for a list of the repairs and costs - on the list was $20 to un-twist a seatbelt - I did this myself in about 5 seconds (it was just flipped over). Also other things like $38 for wiper blades (they cost about $4 and take 2 minutes to change) and $65 for an engine clean. I took my car to my regular mechanic (who is quite a distance away, that's why I didn't go there in the first place), who did the whole lot for just over $400. I suspect they overcharge for everything, but moreso if you happen to be female. Would not recommend.
