On arrival we were pleasantly surprised by the warm greeting we received. Our room was a good size, and warm. Central light did not work, which left the room a liile dark. We were on first floor, with key access to door. You need a free hand, one to turn the key and the other to pull open the solid... More

Hubby and I stayed one night in the "Christopher Suite" which had recently been refurbished with modern decor - nice fresh carpet, comfy queen-size bed and big TV. I usually stay in the city centre in Launceston, but this location was a pleasant change. It was still just a few easy blocks walk to the city but being so close... More

We stayed here for two nights having selected it from a brochure because it looked interesting. It does have a certain charm and it is well located but the rooms are old and tired. The front door had a huge gap underneath and the door stops needed adjustment. The door rattled in the wind and let drafts in. The bathroom... More

We stayed In Launceston at the conclusion of our recent Tasmania trip - I had booked our accomodation after viewing it on Trip advisor and it was as expected. Our room was on the ground floor of the motel units and it was comfortable, affordable and suited our needs. If I could say anything negative it would probably relate to... More

My boyfriend and I recently stayed here for 2 nights. On arrival I liked how close it was to everything and it looked cosy. Checking in we were met by a lady who seemed so disinterested in anything we said, very abrupt and unhelpful. The room itself seemed ok, but wasn't until night that the hotels flaws became apparent. We... More

I stayed 1 night and found the accommodation to be very comfortable and clean, we were in an old mill room, the only disappointment was the noise which could be heard from a machine outside the room which went all night, this could be heard as there is a large gap under the entry door. Other guests stood in the... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay for 2 nights, close to the gorge and wharf area. We were in the old mill section and the room was charming. The Gourlays lolly shop at the back adds to the charm, shame the private tram does not operate these connect to the 2 sections. The windmill at the back makes for a good photo.... More

We stayed for one night in a hotel room. it was on the 2nd floor. I chose this hotel for close proximity to Cateract Gorge (visited twice - once during day and again after dark to see floodlight view of gorge) and to stay in an old coaching inn which was relocated. TV excellent picture quality. We had breakfast at... More

We stayed in a ground floor apartment and found it to be very comfortable in every way. The bed was just right and our room offered all you needed for a good stay. After travelling around Tassie we found the restaurant to be well priced in comparison. We had no noise problems from the main road and loved the fact... More

Liked the character of the old building. Room was clean and comfortable. Road noise and rubbish truck were loud, so take ear plugs. We had a special which included a lovely cooked breakfast, so that made up for the downside.
