Alabama Hotel Hobart

The Alabama is equal parts kitsch and comfortable. The rooms are perfect for travellers to rest and recoup as they explore nipaluna/Hobart. The beds are always incredibly comfortable and the rooms are well appointed with art, heating/cooling, windows and a fridge. The shared bathrooms are always very clean with a hot shower waiting to start your day or wind you down at night. The cafe/bar lounge is a beautiful place to rest or meet for drinks with a balcony to enjoy the air and atmosphere. I love sitting in the sun drenched lounge with a coffee or on the balcony to rest between day and night events. You can get delicious coffee, snacks and drinks, and after hours, water is available for rooms including hot water. The Alabama’s location is exceptional. It’s within walking distance of basically everything and there’s restaurants, shopping and a supermarket steps away. The Alabama has become synonymous with travels to nipaluna/Hobart for me. It has warmth and character while providing all the practical things a larger hotel provides. The staff are exceptional, accommodating & knowledgable. I highly recommend staying here when visiting nipaluna/Hobart.

Alabama hotel you feel welcomed like a human being. almost like a old friend from high school who might of thought you were a bit weird but are happy to see you , the owners and staff are very genuine people. not one for up market hotels myself or being called sir or using a fancy swipe card ...comes across a bit pretentious or fake to me ... none of which you willl find at the Alabama hotel . I even rocked up a day early ( forgot to finalise the booking) and got upgraded to a nice room even though I felt like a bit of a goose . comfy beds to recuperate on lost sleep after enjoying a few social drinks over a few days in Hobart town . nice looking dogs wandering around adds to the atmosphere as a chilled environment. I think a few scratches doesn't go unnoticed. I love Hobart more than my former girlfriends except Hobart probly wouldn't leave me for an accountant but that's another story , I visit regularly for many of Tasmanias natural wonders and I can't say I would stay anywhere else when I wander into the bright lights, after a stint out in the wilderness to use their shower and look at some cool local art work on my way there. great food and many places nearby to have a social drink or fifteen , plus there's a balcony you can sit on and think about life or that beautiful southern island woman you miss, or how large the short tailed shearwater rafts are and sip a cup of nice coffee or a drink of water or alcoholic beverage to the background music which sets the mood . happy hour is on daily why not treat yourself . great times at the Alabama hotel .

The hotel had a very welcoming feel, from the staff and the beautifully furnished sitting room. Happy hour between 4-6pm in the sitting room was a cosy event, the coctails were wonderful. The funky retro styling and art works on the wall made it a pleasure to walk the halls. The location is handy to get to much of Hobart.

This is a fantastic hotel with a warm and welcoming vibe, the perfect place to explore Hobart on foot. Jimmy and staff ensured our stay was perfect, everything was easy. The communal lounge and bar is great with nice tunes, good coffee and a wide selection of afternoon drinks. We booked four rooms for Dark Mofo and we all agreed it was a wonderful and special place.

The location is simply awesome. Very central to everything. Staff are friendly and helpful. Quirky and charming place to stay! Thank you :)
