Launceston Backpackers

Had a large kitchen.

The check in process was awful. Due to being winter they’d shut reception early (despite saying they were open until 7pm) so when I arrived at 5.45pm, I had no idea how to check in. One of the residents said I had to ring the night manager. I did this repeatedly for an hour with no answer. Another resident helpfully went to check the manager’s room with no answer (despite the lights being on and his car there). Eventually one of the managers who wasn’t on shift wondered through and gave me my key, but with not much apology. It was also freezing in this hostel. Heating was turned completely off at night and the bathrooms had windows that didn’t shut, so weren’t very inviting to shower in. And in the morning, the cleaner decided to open every single door downstairs, despite it being 3 degrees C outside.
