Best Western Hobart
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
It is worth booking if you want a 4-star base in central Hobart for roughly 25% less than the typical price in our sample. It suits families and practical travellers more than anyone chasing the highest guest score in town.

This is a 4-star hotel in the Hobart Central Business District with a guest score of 8.1 out of 10 from 4,599 reviews. That is a large pool of opinions, so the score is stable, but it is not high for the city.
Families are a reasonable fit, since family rooms are listed. Travellers who want a restaurant on site, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi in a central street will also find what they need.
Skip it if guest rating is your main filter. Among the 8 properties we compared, this one shared the lowest review score position. Our Budget pick scores higher and costs less, and our Luxury pick scores far higher.
Location and getting around
The address is 156 Bathurst Street, in the Central Business District. The location score is 8.7, a solid result that suggests guests find the area practical.
Hobart Synagogue is about 0.6 km away, roughly 8 minutes on foot. The Tasman Bridge is about 2.7 km away, around 34 minutes on foot, which is already far for most people. The Museum of Old and New Art is about 9.3 km away, close to two hours on foot, so you will need public transport or a taxi to get there.
All walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified on the ground.
What guests say
Our data does not include a summary of what guests specifically like or dislike here. We cannot tell you which points are praised or criticised most often, and we will not guess.
What we can report is the overall 8.1 from 4,599 reviews and the 8.7 location score. Room size, noise levels and renovation condition have not been assessed. Before booking, read recent reviews on the booking page and look for comments on room size, noise from Bathurst Street and the state of bathrooms.
Price and value against our other Hobart picks
The reference price was about €152.28 a night. That is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not a live quote. It sat about 25% below the sample median of €203.12 a night.
Our Budget pick, Ibis Styles Hobart, a 4-star hotel scoring 8.5, came in at about €123.08 a night. Our Luxury pick, MACq 01 Hotel, a 5-star hotel scoring 9.4, was about €290.88 a night.
Put plainly, you pay around €29 a night more here than at the Budget pick for a lower guest score. What you get in return is a listed restaurant, family rooms and a breakfast offer described as continental, vegetarian, gluten-free and buffet. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed. Check today's price for your dates, since November figures will not hold.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 8 eligible hotels in Hobart. Best Value picks balance three things: guest score, number of reviews and reference price. This hotel is not the cheapest and not the best rated, but it combines a central address, a very large review count and a price well under the median.
Before you book
Confirm whether breakfast is part of your rate and what it costs if not. Check the cancellation terms, which we have not assessed.
Parking is not listed among the facilities in our data, so ask the hotel directly if you are driving. If you need a family room, confirm the bed setup and maximum occupancy for your dates. Finally, check today's price, because the November 2026 reference figures are only a guide.
