The Pickled Frog is great for a short stay and to meet loads of like minded people. I loved the large front room with the open fire place and cheap bar, its a great place to relax. The Staff at the Frog in true auzzie style are really chilled out and laid back and happy to help you with anything you need. We even went and played five aside football at the gym opposite with them!The rooms are extremely basic but if you are with your mates it doesn't matter and the noise never bothered us. The bathrooms also are fairly basic but clean and there are places to hang up your stuff. Make sure you get to the free brekie early, its always a bonus to get that included. It is in a good location, about five minutes walk from pretty much anything. I came in July so it was quite quiet but in the social area everyone is lovely and there is plenty to keep you occupied. I reccomend to come to the Frog with your mates and perhaps not alone as the rooms are a little intimate! If you don't mind roughing it a little but up for a laugh, go to The Frog. 'Hi Gary'!

The Pickled Frog is not the cleanest backpackers around, but it offers original, friendly, quirky, happy and lively atmosphere that really outrules any bad reps....I love the big open front room, cheap beer, plenty of people to yarn with, and cheap as internet is great. There are also booths you can sit in out the back, really it just feels like a big shared house. The staff go out of their way to make you feel at home and at ease.Hello Gary - I hope you make it to Ireland soon....

I booked this one because of the reviews I read on this website, so I actually expected a bit more...The very good thing about them is the friendly people (Rod is cool), but honestly I think the bathrooms are very very basic, and the 3-bed dorm is way too small for 3 people, especially if you don't know them.For me it was OK as I was sharing with just one (very friendly!) girl, but there was definitely no room for a third one. (a bunk and a normal bed).But the free brekkie is one other good thing too (corn flakes + toasts)!As for the location it's all right, 5 minutes from the airport shuttle bus, 10 minutes from the center.In short, go there for just a few days in Hobart, unless you don't care for the bathroom comfort (I might be soft...).

We had a nice stay here, though the accomodation is pretty basic. The bathrooms are ok and clean linens are supplied. If you want a blanket, you can rent a doona for $3. We went in August 2003 and it was cold! There was a space heater in the room and with the doona, we were warm once we were under the blanket with the heat on. The mattresses and pillows were stained and in poor condition but there were no bugs and everything seemed clean enough. The staff was very friendly and laid-back. Guests get discounted drinks in the bar area and the internet was very cheap (though only available when reception was open). I never used the kitchen but it looked clean enough walking by it. The location is ok, not much open on this street at night. There is one bar/club down the road with great drink card specials and good music that was open late. Overall, I would stay here again.

We stayed here for 5 nights and it was excellent, cheap internet for guests. The location is excellent, right near the transit centre and city centre. Free breakfast and discount for YHA and VIP. Say hi to Viv for me if you go.
