Hobart accomodation

We are spending 2 nights in Hobart in late March and are looking for accomodation that is fairly central.

Hobart is small. Central Hobart is smaller. At this moment, I'm staying in Battery Point which is a five minute walk to the docks.

Decide on what you want to see. Look at where these are on a map. Then decide on what suits you.

if your into hostels green frog is as central as it gets. no idea as to hotels

While in Hobart check out the Cascade brewery tour. but book ahead on line or by phone since its sold out a lot. nice walk from Hobart central you pass many convict era sites.

What price range are you looking at? Recommending a hostel is no good if you want 5*****

Budget hotel, private bathroom. Maybe with breakfast included!

You just need to realize " budget" could mean different things to different people. I'm a cheapskate so for me, budget means anything up to $35 p.p.

Have a look at WWW.wotif.com.au and see what they have in your preferred price range.

Quality Hotel Midtown at $140 a night, for two, has own bathroom, and is central, has a restaurant downstairs, and also walkable to Subway etc.
Its on the Quality Hotels website.
Have stayed at this one.

The Waratah Hotel is about as central as you can get, wi-fi and breakfast and double room will set you back between EUR55-70 depending on your dates. But it is budget. I stayed there once a few years back (I'm fancier now!) and it was good value and it is the best price for central. The Quality Hotel mid-city would be another - never stayed but I know someone who has and they were fine with it. There's a Travelodge as well. I always linger in Tripadvisor before booking any hotel.

The Mid-City Hotel mentioned above is typical of several hotels in the $130-140 range. A reliable choice in a very central location.
If you want to go cheaper to a more basic backpacker style room, with a private bathroom, have a look at the Brunswick Hotel and Hobart Hostel, which have rooms in the $80-100 range.
Do you have the LP Tasmania guide?, there are quite a few listings in the Hobart section.

If hostels don't bother you, the Pickled Frog is great and very central. It seemed popular with university students who were doing courses in Hobart. They also run a free shuttle to the top of Mt. Wellington.
