Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, extremely clean, warm, and comfortable, making us feel right at home. The staff was so friendly and helpful, always willing to go the extra mile to assist with any request. The location was perfect, allowing easy access to the University campus and the city center. The dining was really nice, offering a great selection of fruit for a healthy start to the day. Overall, a fantastic experience with excellent value for money.
I had a cozy stay at the hotel, with comfy, clean, and quiet rooms featuring a balcony overlooking the town. The breakfast was delightful, and having Netflix available for free was a nice touch. However, the room was a bit cold at times and there was some noise at night.
The hotel offers spacious and well-priced rooms that are large, clean, and very comfortable, equipped with a microwave and cutlery for convenience. The service is top-notch, with friendly and efficient staff. The location is ideal for exploring Launceston on foot, just a short walk to shops and restaurants. The dining experience is good, with the option to sit on the balcony area, although there are extra charges for cooked meals. Overall, a great value for money stay.
I had a great stay at this hotel! The room was excellent with a view of the city that was totally worth the extra $20. The main road outside didn't bother me at all, and I loved having a balcony for fresh air and a good view.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room faced the car park, but for a small fee, I upgraded to enjoy lovely city views. The room was nicely furnished with all necessary amenities and a super comfy bed. The only downside was that the car park lights weren't fully blocked out by the blinds.
The hotel is conveniently situated close to the city center of Launceston, allowing easy exploration. The rooms offer a spacious and homely atmosphere, although the housekeeping service missed cleaning on a Sunday, leaving a view of the car park. The staff are exceptionally friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond, yet the furniture and stucco walls could use a refresh. The location is excellent for accessing key areas like Lonnie Central and the Balmoral, with complimentary breakfast. The dining experience offers abundant choices, with meticulous cleanliness in the breakfast room. Overall, a great value for money stay.
The hotel is in a convenient location with friendly staff and well-equipped rooms, although slightly worn. The rooms are comfy, clean, and quiet, with the bonus of free Netflix available. Service was fantastic, with staff being happy, obliging, and providing useful information. The location offers easy access to explore the city center on foot. The dining experience was good but finished early. A positive note was the friendly staff and the hotel's convenience to the city center. However, the tired-looking rooms could use some refurbishment.
