Friendly staff, enough space, enjoy the seaview everyday
Great backpackers in the heart of Penguin, part of the Neptune Grand Hotel. It has great facilities with a kitchen and dining area, 2 lounge area's, a laundry and outside balcony to see the ocean. Very clean. Rooms have very comfortable beds a table and chairs and a vanity unit. For the price this is fantastic. The staff are lovely and particularly Ally who offered to help up carry our things upstairs.
Rooms were OK. Room could have been brighter or furnished with more welcoming atmosphere. Room has a sink, showers and toilets were shared. No kitchen but shared microwave and TV in lounge.
Not a happy backpacker! If u arrive after 10 pm even after having a conversation with the staff, expect to cross your fingers and randomly hope there might be a person around to let you in! No one answers the phone after 10pm even if u were told there would be and there isnt anyone at reception or on the premises to let u in to give u a key! Luckily for me there was a bar staff member just finishing up cleaning who was surprised to a person knocking on the back door to be checked in! If u didnt let me in I would have had to sleep in the car! Really unacceptable!!! They should have simply told me we dont check people in after 10 pm and I would have booked somewhere else rather than tell me it was ok when clearly it was not!! And the worst thing the next day when I spoke with the guy who had taken my phone call a few days earlier was rude and didnt care i almost had to sleep in the car! He said not his fault and what do u expect its a backpackers!!! Clearly he has never stayed at a backpackers before! And this place is actually a hotel come backpackers so not really its a basic hotel and not the beautiful feeling and hospitality of a real backpackers!!!
Best backpackers we stayed at while travelling around tassie. Very friendly staff and the rooms were large and clean. We stayed here the night before boarding the Spirit of Tassie as it was an easy 20 min drive from Devonport.
