Ikon Hotel

We stayed 1 night whilst travelling around Tassie for 3 weeks. It was public holiday Monday, day before Melbourne cup day & not a lot open, shops or eateries. Our accommodation was the largest room & most beautiful bathroom we've ever stayed in. Separate bedroom area with TV. Kitchenette with generous continental breakfast provisions. Comfy lounge area with another TV. The only drawback is it's an historic hotel, all accommodation on 1st & 2nd floors & the heritage people won't allow a lift. The Italian restaurant on ground floor closed on Mondays. We dined at the Beach Hotel, called in at lunch time & booked table for dinner as it's the only place open on the public holiday. By 6.30pm restaurant full & staff turning away those without a booking. Car parking was out the back of hotel or a block away in a secure carpark accessed by electronic room key. Highly recommended.

Truly luxurious accommodation in a small town. Very spacious comfortable room well equipped kitchenette facilities, eveh had a French press to make coffee. We had a jacuzzi tub as well as shower in the bathroom clise to all local attractions and bars restaurants. Reasonably priced and allowed us to store luggage upon early arrival and Rio ready before noon a blessing after overnight ferry ride Also allowed storage of luggage after check out.

When we first saw the Ikon Hotel from the outside we were a little dubious how it would be inside. But what a surprise to find it has been very tastefully renovated inside Our room was huge, with a giant mirror, king size bed and modern ensuite bathroom. The owner Steve was very friendly and helpful. I stupidly left behind my electric razor but Laura sent it to me the next day by Express Post and it arrived just after we returned home. Definitely on our list next time we are visiting Tasmania.

I have stayed @ Ikon for five nights, my stay was very comfortable, very spacious room, staff was extremely courteous and helpful. The location of the hotel is right in the centre of city, every restaurant and beach is in walking distance. I highly recommend this Hotel ( THIS IS NOT A MOTEL) I will stay again for sure

Unusual entrance to this hotel gets you wondering - buzz and someone from reception comes down stairs to allow entrance and then booking in on the first floor. We had room one on top level so had to cart our suitcases up 4 flights of stairs, you would want to be fit! Very large room which incorporated walk into lounge - sofa, coffee table, tv - i think for movies only. To the left to kitchenette which incl. microwave, toaster, jug, fridge and coffee/tea making facilities, also a large table with seating for 4. Continental breakfast was packs of cereal/oats, milk, yoghurt and orange juice in fridge. No bread, butter or any spreads ( jam, honey ) - we bought at supermarket. ( this is my main criticism ). Good size bed, plenty of hanging space, bathroom and shower fine. Appreciated the car parking space around the corner. As i said, a good size room done up to modern standards but the floor creaked with every step you took.

My wife and I were in room 1 and it was outstanding. It was beautifully appointed, very spacious and spotless. It had everything we needed and more. The front desk person (Laura) was helpful from the beginning of our stay to the end. There was free secure underground parking for hotel guests nearby. The only word of caution I would give is the rooms are on the second and third story of the building and there is no elevator. So if you struggle with stairs you might want to consider this.
