we were travelling back to Vic on the day ferry. The Argosy is nice and close to the terminal and set up for early departure reqired for day travel. Good bistro attached to the hotel and comfortable clean rooms for a good price. We stayed both on the way over to TRAs and teh return trip

Handy for the Spirit of Tasmania
Although quite busy with many travellers arriving at the same time after disembarking the ferry, check in was efficient and informative. The on-site restaurant offered a range of tasty meals. The room was comfortable. There was excellent water pressure and temperature in the shower but the waterfall shower for a tall person means the floor in the bathroom is inundated.

Great Value for Money
The Argosy was excellent value for money. It was clean, comfortable & very convenient to catch the Spirit of Tasmania ferry, early the next morning. The hotel / bistro were next door so very handy if you don't want to drive anywhere.
We have now stayed here twice in the last 2 months and are also booked to stay again later this year.
The Argosy is conveniently located to where we need to be and has great parking for large vehicles.
It is also very budget friendly compared to other similar properties that would meet our needs.
Have recommended to others and will be back
