"I had a really lovely and comfortable stay here. The staff were incredibly kind, friendly and responsive from the very beginning. They kindly accommodated an early check-in for me, which I really appreciated, and although my circumstances changed and I wasn’t able to make use of it as I had originally planned, their flexibility meant a lot. They were also happy to look after my luggage after check-out, which made everything so much easier. The location is fantastic, very central and convenient...

Top Cataract Gorge Hotel Reviews

Leisure Inn Penny Royal Hotel & Apartments

8/10 Good

"."

Hotel Grand Chancellor Launceston

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, comfortable and spacious rooms. Would recommend. Had issues with prepaid parking which took quite a bit of our time to convince staff that we already had paid. Had to present my bank statement to prove I had already been charged and email. On checkout, had to go through the whole process again with different staff to prove that that parking fee had already been deducted from my bank account an after previous staff had advised it was sorted. Do not book parking and pay for parking online. Contact property, and pay on arrival at the property,"

Peppers Silo Launceston

10/10 Excellent

"Overall great stay. It sure how many of their stays are two nights like us, but having handy the top things to do in town and in the area would be great. Better yet, offer to send it in advance. The other thing I would say is that there needs to be more hooks on the walls so two people can each hang a towel, toiletries bag plus clothes you plan to put on after a shower. This is consistently an observation for all accommodations."

Commodore Regent Launceston

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very kind, friendly and helpful."

Art Hotel on York

Launceston Central Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed for seven nights at the Launceston Central Apartment Hotel, which is close to the shopping area and convenient for public transport. Communication with the staff was excellent and both check in and check out went smoothly. The accommodation offered a clean room, a spacious bathroom, a kitchenette, and a laundry facilities. The room temperature worked fine for me, so I did not use air conditioning. I did not drive, so I did not use the car park."
