I have spoken with staff ...the acess to the rooms did not meet current building standards. I have very weak legs and had to climb the step up to my room by getting on my hands and knees. and lean onto car bonnets to get down. They are renovating the buildings and advised to ensure steps are altered and more small ramps are needed off footpaths for people with walkers or in wheelchairs. The step up from the carpark to my room was triple standard height. Unsafe and falls risk . Staff very helpful and rooms clean and calm. Enjoyed my stay .

Great overnight stay for catching the ferry. Supplied plates, bowls, cutlery and microwave if you want to do a quick self catered breakfast before you leave. A little bit noisy but that was our neighbours not the hotel's fault. Dinner was great and so conveniently close. Overall I would recommend.

Very good accommodation for Spirit of Tasmania tra

Being travellers on the Spirit of Tasmania we found the Argosy to be reasonably priced and in close proximity to the boat’s terminal. Meals were excellent and breakfast is served at 6.30am, which gave us time to eat breakfast before boarding the ferry. Would highly recommend this venue.
