    I stay with family so not much help sorry... I just had to say, St Ives!!!! Oh boy I had many a crazy night there. It became the best night club in Hobart for a while but I'm pretty sure they may have closed the entire bar now. Maybe check what night life they have there cause you wouldn't want to have stayed there back in the old days! My aunty stayed there a while ago though and liked it- I think they are really tame now.

    Oh, you're not looking to stay at St Ives AND the Lesuire Inn are you? Hobart is tiny and you can walk between them so not worth hotel jumping.

    Sure ! Have stayed there a few times over the years (lack of money and other people making the bookings).
    I wouldnt ever stay there again unless it had been fully refurbished !(Maybe it has been since i last stayed there) Thought the lifts were going to crash and the rooms were just awful.

    It is in a convenient spot.

    HTH

    *just my opinion*

    EDIT - just looked at their site - looks like they have finally refurbed and are putting in new lifts so it would probably be ok now !
