Located just a few minutes' walk to everything in central Hobart, the Pickled Frog is an award winning, locally-owned hostel with a fun and vibrant social atmosphere. Recently refurbished, this older building has tons of charm without sacrificing any modern amenities or conveniences. The interior decor is worth seeing, as every hallway has some type of interesting paint scheme.

Their in-house bar and their spacious, comfortable common area (with log fires in the winter) provide a great spot to mix and mingle with your fellow guests. A large communal kitchen is fully stocked for those guests that like to cook, and the common areas have tables, games, coffee and tea, and more. The staff helps to arrange tours and activities, and provides free advice on everything to do in town or around the rest of Tasmania. Also, they offer free shuttles to various places nearby such as Mt. Wellington, the MONA art museum, and the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary.

Dorms and private rooms are available of different sizes, including an apartment. An all-female dorm option is also available. They also have parking, Wi-Fi, laundry, luggage storage, and more

Guest reviews highlight the comfortable feel and social vibe of this fairly busy hostel. There will always be other guests to meet, and the staff and facilities facilitate interaction all year.

Highly recommended!

281 Liverpool St Tasmania , Hobart, Australia,

A boutique, cozy hostel

Dorm Bed: $28.43
Private Room: $36.55
This award-winning hostel in Hobart is close to the Harbor as well as shops and restaurants and everything else in town. The owners live on site and take great care of this hostel and the guests that come to stay in it. This smaller and cozy hostel has a lot to offer. The atmosphere is more like a boutique hostel or bed and breakfast with an old-fashioned decorative style, elegant furniture, artwork, and furnishings, and luxury appointments. Even when you climb into your bunk beds, you'll have thoughts of the Queen.

Private rooms and dorms are available in different sizes from Queen beds down to multi-bunk rooms. A female-only dorm option is also on the list. All rooms have bathroom facilities, and everything is kept very clean and nice. The common room is comfortable, and the kitchen is modern and well stocked. The outdoor patio and deck (with BBQ) provide a very nice spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors with your fellow travelers.

Other amenities include Wi-Fi, laundry, hotel-style linens and duvets, tour booking and travel advice, free parking, and more.

With consistently high marks from guests leaving reviews, this hostel (or palace?) gets rave reviews for everything, especially the friendly owners and staff. One reviewer even described it as an "Awesome little mansion."
