Nice place to stay in Hobart
or surrounds for two adults, two kids?
We're off to Tas between Boxing Day and the New Year, and was wondering whether anyone had recommendations for hotels / apartments / serviced studios to stay for the first few nights (Hobart or close surrounds)?
Cheers

Re: Nice place to stay in Hobart
We stayed in a lovely old hotel in Hobart (god cant remember the name will try to google it). Walking distance to Hobart marina and everything else.
Every morning we used to go to a bakery for brekkie (swear to god best breakfasts i've ever had in my life).
Sorry this isnt much help am away to google.

You'll see that they are owned by the same people. Check out their reviews on Tripadvisor.
Not sure what they'd be like on availability now though - we booked months ahead......

Re: Nice place to stay in Hobart
I've stayed at Somerset on Salamander - gorgeous room, great views. There's also Somerset on the Pier
Last time, and this year I'm using the MidCity Motor Inn - cheaper and not quite as posh but still good.
Have a good trip and look out for witches who are in town at the same time

We were really lucky polly, we booked early and got a great deal. Four of us sharing two bedrooms, so hardly paid anything (first time in aroound 40 years i was sharing a bed with my sister again
)

Re: Nice place to stay in Hobart
Can't wait for my trip this year, long ago I promised someone I'd be in Hobart for the end of the Sydney-Hobart yacht race, and for the Taste Festival...might actually make it now, 12 years on!

Re: Nice place to stay in Hobart
We stayed at the Fountainside and found it brilliant - it rates very highly, largely because the minibar is so reasonable I think! But it is well positioned, rooms were comfy, parking easy and although on a busy roundabout, I found it pretty quiet (I do get grumpy if I can't sleep)
