Doctor Syntax Hotel

Have only been for lunches recently, but I have not been disappointed yet! Amazingly consistent meals across the menu with some good specials. Very reasonably priced with a seniors and kids menu.

My 90 year old mum had the seafood chowder. I tasted it towards the end of her meal as she doesn't eat mussels but I do. I had a mouthful and it had an overwhelmingly burnt taste. She didn't detect this because her taste buds are not great.
8 hours later she was throwing up for 6 hours. Health department inspected the premises and said her symptoms are consistent with foodborne illness.
Management were very good to deal with and agreed to discard the remaining soup they had prepped.
Overall a total let down.

Had a brilliant meal tonight. Steaks were cooked to perfection, chips are divine, the cob loaf was lovely. I honestly can't say enough about how good it was

Great service, friendly staff.
Beautiful food. Classic pub food done with style. We'll definitely be back.

Good pub for quizzame night on Wednesdays, good range of beers, etc. Food served in pub side and restaurant side.

I stayed here for 9 days in early March.
Overall, my experience staying here was very positive. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the check-in process was easy. To check in, head to the front section on Sandy Bay Road. There's a bar and bistro, although I did not try the food.
There's plenty of parking out the back if you hire a car. Close to public transport. A short walk from Wrest Point, Battery Point, Salamanca Place, Constitution Dock/Franklin Wharf area, and Hobart City. There's a petrol station next door if you need fuel, supplies or an ATM.
The rooms are on the small side, but it was big enough for myself. Beds were comfy. They give you copious amounts of tea and coffee (thank you). The air-conditioning kept me warm. There's an ironing board and an iron. The bathroom was great and the water pressure was good. They give you shampoo, conditioner, soap etc.
The rates were very good compared to other places around the city.
As this also has a pub attached, be aware that there can be some noise, but it generally dies down after 10: 00 pm.
I was quite surprised in the Wi-Fi. I had no drop-outs every, single night I needed to complete some work!
I would recommend staying here if you want a cheap, clean and convenient place to stay.

Food was very poor last night (11 Jan), souvlaki was dry and inedible also the fish where very small portions and dry.

Always heard the food was very good, unfortunately not last night.

Nothing out of the ordinary just a pub with a tote that doesnt function very well.very friendly staff. Good place to have a punt

Great location for an easy walk to CBD and waterfront. Had a great room and the restaurant produces wonderful meals. Highly recommended!

We had our work Xmas function here. Apart from the heaters outside not working, was a great place with good food.

All the staff were extremely helpful and professional recently as we celebrated my mother's 90th birthday.the food was of a high quality and everyone complimented the food and the service
Thank you so much everyone for making the day extra special jo vonk.

Stayed a night here, lovely large clean room. Spotless bathroom. Fully equipped, with tea and coffee and milk. Mattress needs an upgrade, room was very noisy from traffic, room was very light even with blinds down. Otherwise would give 5 stars for meals, location and cleanliness. Great atmosphere with plenty of TV's in eating areas to watch sport, and heaters were turned on to warm up outside areas. Staff super friendly.

Today 4 of us were at Dr Syntax for lunch we have dined here a few times now always satisfied and a nice meals.
Three out of four of us today were happy with the meals but have to say that the slow cooked lamb curry was somewhat very disappointing.
It was more like a bowl of vegetables with a few bits of lamb which to me was not slow cooked or it would have fallen apart?
No curry detected at all was also supposed to have coconut in it but no taste of coconut at all as for a curry taste nothing I think maybe the curry mixture was waved over what was in the bowl was so looking forward to a lamb curry.
Service was great and the staff were quite friendly.

Our lunch was excellent pork belly and seafood marina. Lovely fresh salad and vegetables. Great chips as a side. Meals beautifully presented and as we watched meals pass by, all were of top quality in presentation. Add in really efficient service and an eextensived drinks list. We'll be back.

Fantastic service and food absolutely the best meal I have ever had from a pub do yourself a flavor and check it out

Range of options on the menu was excellent and reasonably priced. The food was delicious, portion sizes good.staff were friendly.

It may seem shabby on the outside, but that makes the modern, clean, comfortable hotel rooms even more of a welcome surprise. My room had two double beds (which were a little small for me), coffee and tea, ironing board, spare set of towels, and toiletries. The bathroom featured a luxurious modern rainfall shower. Although the hotel was fully booked, the noise from other rooms was minimal.

You might describe this as 'basic' accommodation but actually it was perfect - nothing could have been better - except maybe a longer bed.

Upmarket feel. Good food. Friendly staff.

THE BEST OYSTERS KILPATRICK IN AUSTRALIA ‍️‍️

Love all the Staff there. Especially Liv.and Hayley's Star Jumps if ya realllly Lucky

Meals were HUGE. Great family hotel friendly staff and reasonably priced. Good value for money. Would definitely eat there again. Staff even offered to pack anything we couldn't eat to take away.

Hotel Review.

Room was clean, outfitted with modern idea type furniture.

Could be a little loud depending on the bar and not the comfiest bed/cushions.

Receptionist was friendly.

Only a short walk directly into Salamanca, or a slightly longer walk going through battery point.

Plenty of on site parking and not far from Sandy bay for groceries/pick of many Asian restaurants.

Would recommend for a central no frills clean option.
