Top hotels in South Launceston
Village Family Motor Inn
"A basic and outdated motel. Outdated kettle, poorly maintained shower/sink, very poor soundproofing/carton walls, some construction/renovation going on on the property. Located close to the Midland highway. I'd say overpriced for what it offers."

BIG4 Launceston Holiday Park
Hotel Grand Chancellor Launceston
"Refrigerator was leaking a bit of water due to ice accumulation. A microwave oven would have been really handy (though I understand this is a higher quality hotel). A fantastic location, staff & the rooms were spacious."
