    Loved the central location, surrounded by charming cafes and shops. The free WiFi was a nice bonus. The shared kitchen was great for my Masterchef skills. Safety first with fire extinguishers and a first aid kit!

    The stay at this hotel was great value for money, with a spacious double room and super clean toilets. The prime location made it convenient to explore Elizabeth St and Salamanca St, and the staff were friendly and accommodating.

    The only thing that could have made breakfast better was the food options available.

    Title: Amazing time with friends!

    The only thing we wished for was a livelier atmosphere with some cool events or parties organized at the hotel. It would have been awesome to meet more like-minded young people and have even more fun during our stay.

    I recently stayed at Backpackers Imperial for a few nights during my visit to Hobart. The location was perfect for exploring the city and accessing the waterfront. The shared bathrooms were surprisingly clean and I appreciated the comfortable bed in my basic single room. The kitchen was well-equipped and the lounge areas on each floor were spacious. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the central location made it easy to walk to all the attractions.

    100% Recommend this hotel.

    For the money I paid, I couldn't ask for more value. My own triple room, old charm with modern facilities, and the feeling of being right at home. The location was fantastic, close to the airport bus stop, mall, grocery store, and restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful.

    The food for breakfast could have been better.

    I stayed at Backpackers Imperial for a couple of nights and absolutely loved it! The location is perfect, right in the heart of the city with everything within walking distance. The facilities, especially the kitchen, were great for cooking meals. The dorm was impeccably clean and well-equipped with heaters and lockers. The staff was friendly and helpful. it's the best hostel I've ever stayed in!

    Highly recommend this hotel.

    The kitchen at Backpackers Imperial was a pleasant surprise. It was spacious, well-equipped, and much cleaner than the rest of the hostel. It made cooking meals easy and enjoyable.

    The room was comfortable, and the common facilities were clean and well-maintained. the location was superb, within walking distance to most attractions, especially the Salamanca Market and the Wharf.

    Felt at home, no complaints.

    The location was wicked, right in the heart of Hobart. We had a blast exploring Salamanca Market and Battery Point, both just a short walk away. The hotel's billiards and games room were epic, we spent hours challenging each other to intense pool battles and enjoying some friendly competition. It was such a rad addition to our stay!

    The only thing we would've asked for is a better dance floor in the communal area. We love to party and have a good time, so having a bigger space to bust out our sick dance moves would've been lit.

    The bed was super comfortable and the place was really affordable. It's also conveniently located close to everything I wanted to see and do in the city. the lounge area was spacious and had really comfy chairs, and there was even a nice little kitchen. the rooms were clean and the bed was one of the best I've had in my travels around Australia. it was a fantastic experience. Cons: No negatives, 👍.

    The location of this hostel was fantastic - right in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore all the attractions Hobart has to offer. the spacious kitchen and dining area were a definite plus, allowing for socializing and meeting new people. the lounge room provided a cozy space to relax and unwind after a long day of sightseeing.

    My experience at this hostel was not the best. the cleanliness of the hostel left much to be desired.
