Launceston hotellia

Plussat: We had a huge room with comfortable fittings and it was quiet. There were tea and coffee facilities, a mini bar and a small kitchen with all necessary items.

Miinukset: The only slight grizzle - a lovely big bathroom with a fiddly little shower cubicle when there was room to put in a much larger one.

Miinukset: 1st floor is very noisy and you can smell kitchen odours through vents

Plussat: Was very central to shopping area. And to great restaurants.

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: Great staff and excellent location.

Miinukset: The room next door had a gym junkie. Bashing his weights around and throwing his medicine ball at the wall to thrash Music was disgusting.

Plussat: Got a bill for $1.00 taken out of my credit card ??

Miinukset: No information book of hotel's amenities, where to eat locally, or for that matter no bible either. Felt like I was shut off from the rest of the world. If I wanted to know anything I had to ask at the the front desk. Not the way I like. Parking was a nightmare even thought I realise was free of charge.

Plussat: The timing of our visit to Launceston and stay at Penny Royal unfortunately coincided with the drama of Covid-19. The staff, however, bent over backwards to help us. A microwave was provided for us to cook our meals, as nothing was open. We were given clear directions to a local bakery and the supermarkets. The manager, Mark, personally knocked on our door to inform us that the hotel had been instructed to close by their head office. He reassured us that , as interstate visitors with nowhere else to go, we could stay on for the two nights we had booked. In the face of what must have been a devastating time, everyone on staff was friendly and put on a cheery face. Thanks Mark and girls for all your efforts on our behalf.

Plussat: Loved the room very unusual hotel.

Miinukset: The staff could have been more friendly.

Plussat: Short walking distance to most places Comfortable bed Good shower

Miinukset: Noise from traffic Double glazing would fix this

Plussat: The location was fantastic, easy to walk to the street and what a beautiful walk up along the Gorge The Units were large enough for 3 couples to stay in together, we each had our own rooms, the main room was large, the. The beds were fine,we had the Queen size bed which was great,theP other 2 rooms were a bit smaller but everyone seemed happy

Miinukset: Perhaps another toilet, I don't know where you'd put it but it all worked well enough with 3 couples.

Plussat: I like the lay out of the room, the location to Caterac goerge .walking distance to most of launceston attractions,and day drives up the Tamar Valley.

Miinukset: the room i had 224 is straight accross from the resturant that can be very loud,needs door seals. I have stayed here before and had a different room at the back and no sound problem.

Plussat: Location and large triple room. Hotel for drinks and eating next door

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Clean , warm room with loads of space. Awesome fluffy towels And the bed was comfy. The location was perfect m close to everything and the bonus was we could walk to most places.

Miinukset: The only issue we had was couldn’t get the safe to work but in saying this we didn’t bother staff to assist . Was not an overly important thing to us.

Plussat: The room size is good with table and chairs. WiFi is good.

Miinukset: The hotel is converted from a historic building. The stairs are tall and not good for seniors like us. There is no cover for the staircase which make it worst when rains. The bathroom is too small. No aircon in the room though there are not many hot days in Tassie. The mattresses are so uncomfortable that make my body ached.

Plussat: size of room was good

Plussat: Very close to the airport .Convenient

Miinukset: No notification that the restaurant was not open . Cups stained .Insufficient crockery for 2 people. Felt it heeded a thorough clean

Plussat: Very friendly people/staff. Had an issue with the shower, fixed straight away.

Plussat: comfortable and clean. Quiet and nice to have the light left on when I arrived as it was late when arrived.

Miinukset: I would have liked the room to have been checked in the morning. There was no maid service. Also website states there is a restaurant but that is no longer operating. If I need anything I needed to travel by taxi (no car).

Plussat: Great service and assistance

Miinukset: Very poor compared to the photo of the room. The bed was extremely soft did not get any sleep. The carpet was falling apart as well.

Miinukset: Old. Things kept falling apart. Needs a refurbishment

Miinukset: One of our beds have ants and rubbish behind bedside table. Kettle already rusted and dirty and a bowl of moldy soup was found in the microwave.

Plussat: Location is great, a very comfortable room, clean and updated bathroom.

Miinukset: Regardless of the written offer for the late check-out for a small fee, it couldn't be done, because, it was Sunday, and on Sundays, hotel is staffed only until 11:00 am.

Plussat: Great location, room comfortable,

Miinukset: Needed bowls plates etc

Plussat: The bed is ok. It provide electrical cooking facilities with dishes but you need to bring your own raw materials and seasonings.

Miinukset: U need to take stairs to 2nd level or up. You can hear cars and trucks pass by the road next to the hotel during mid night and very early morning, even if you shut the window completely. Hotel provide hand washer and bath gel but you need to bring your own shampoo or conditioner, and slipper. Wifi is not mucb stable.

Miinukset: Our room was not cleaned in the 4 day stay Considering the current situation this is understandable...we ran out of hand wash

Plussat: location quiet near city

Miinukset: staff were very accommodating

Plussat: Great place, easy walk to town, the river for a great walk,coles and anything really. Staff are wonderful and helpful.

Miinukset: Nothing it suited our needs

Plussat: Great location

Plussat: Reception staff were very helpful. Location opposite City Park is great with views over the park. Easy walk into the city.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Spacious Room

Plussat: Beds were comfy, close to city

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Location location

Miinukset: No bath mat. No toilet paper on arrival Fluff above the bathroom fan light and heater. Narrow stairways. No lift

Plussat: Walking distance to most things, particularly some good restaurants. Overall, a pleasant stay.

Miinukset: A bit up and down, like a rabbit warren. A bugger to get the luggage to the room and down again.

Plussat: Great location. Did not have to hire a care for our week long stay.

Miinukset: Pretty happy campers - no downside

Plussat: Very clean and comfortable. Very welcoming owners

Plussat: close to supermarket, dining choices for varying budgets, close to central Launceston but far enough away to be peaceful.

Miinukset: Nothing. Size of room was small but as I was a solo traveller it didn't make any difference to me.

Plussat: Nice room Great bed Excellent communication

Miinukset: Poor pillows, too flat My hsuband thought it was noisy, it didn't worry me

Plussat: Nice room, convenient location, value for money.

Miinukset: Very urban location, hotel doesn't offer views or natural surrounds if thats' what you're after. Traffic noise was a little more noticeable than ideal.

Plussat: Beautifully presented. Friendly check in.

Plussat: Centrally located, within 10 minutes walk from the city centre. Supermarket close by. Lovely traditional building. Very spacious common areas. Spacious room and comfortable bed. I stayed at Launceston Backpackers at the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic, and the management made sure the rooms were not crowded - thank you so much for that!

Miinukset: No staff member was at the hostel upon my arrival at 1 pm, despite having previously agreed that someone would be there to let me store my luggage.

Plussat: Room is very big! Outdoor washing line is great! Clothes get dry easily! James is the best! He is kind, friendly and helpful! I do appreciate it.

Miinukset: Reception close between 11am to 3pm

Plussat: Good location, helpful staff

Plussat: Rooms and kitchen are big

Miinukset: In my 2 nights there i witnessed 2 thefts of food from the fridge, the door is always open so everyone from the street is free to enter. I understood from the reception there's a guy coming in and stealing food, yet they still keep the door open (and there are still thefts). The mattress is horrible and sinks in the middle.

Plussat: Good location, free parking and the hostel is quiet and clean.

Miinukset: No sheets included and the food can be stolen in the kitchen. We stayed only 2 nights and our bag was stolen in the fridge.

Plussat: Big living room area, on site parking, great location

Miinukset: Many details were bad, for example way too few bathrooms for number of guests (only one on our floor), extremely short reception hours, gate shut until 8am making it impossible to leave the parking spot early, etc. But the worst was the behaviour of who I suspect is the manager. After a very long drive we parked into the on-site lot, not noticing the sign saying it'd be closed until 8am since we were just keen to finally get some rest and we didn't anticipate such a ludicrous policy could exist with no early morning reception to resolve (our fault for gaving semi-decent expectations I guess). After seeing we'd only got 1 key for the 4 of us we called the manager to ask for another since the reception was already shut, and despite it taking many calls to reach him, this already irked him (rather than him apologizing for the delay), despite it being their fault for giving a single key and having very short reception hours. Fine. Then after having noticed the parking lot issue (as 3 of us needed to leave early) we had to call again: this time it took him even longer and when he finally did respond he threw a childish temper tantrum because we'd called around 10pm (so not even that late). Then he threatened to kick us out if we dared call him again for asking him to do what is supposed to be his job. Just pathetic behaviour especially considering his feeble attempt at a tough guy act throughout the process. The next day he offered a half-hearted apology which is appreciated (and the reason I didn't put 1/10), but fact remains that this sort of conduct is appalling especially considering our needs were due to *their* terrible policies and ineptitude. Steer well clear if you're looking for a positive hostel atmosphere.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Very dirty room, big chip out of glass table, fridge was very dirty inside, pull down blinds all stained! Not happy at all considering the price! Had clients over from interstate & definitely won’t be booking at the Sebel again & definitely will not be recommending this place to anyone!

Plussat: Rooms were very clean bed was so comfy didn’t want to get out

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I loved everything about my stay. This time I stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment which was very spacious and able to sleep 6 adults. There was a fully functioning laundry and kitchen and 2 full-sized bathrooms. The master bedroom had a walk in robe with plenty of room for everything to be stored. The in-room safe was handy. The balcony was as long as a cricket pitch. All in all another comfortable stay in luxury

Plussat: Very comfortable, great location - able to walk to dinner, very happy with our stay here.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: Ordinary breakfast

Plussat: Our breakfast was very good indeed. The staff were friendly and attentive. Perfectly cooked eggs.

Plussat: the art wall on the back of bed head.

Miinukset: when you step in the shower. (step in shower)

Plussat: Clean and comfortable. Great value for money!

Miinukset: Just a little bit of noise if you stay at the front of the property on the ground floor

Plussat: Bed was comfortable

Miinukset: Room overlooking a car park

Plussat: Our room (premium king) was huge and well appointed. Great bathroom. Easy walk to bars and restaurants.

Plussat: Dinner in the restaurant was very good we ate there every night of our two stays( 6 nights ) and did not have a bad meal.on the other hand we ate breakfast every day and that was dreadful none of the breakfast kitchen staff could cook eggs, and we tried them scrambled just tasted of vinegar, fried one day two fried eggs without any yokes ,scrambled just a sloppy mess. Omelet a complete failure.

Miinukset: The hotel has absolutely no disabled facilities, no disabled spots in a very difficult car park and a main staircase without a handrail.

Plussat: The food in the restaurant was excellent

Miinukset: Bathrooms were too small and dark

Plussat: Location, lovely staff, nice breakfast, lovely rooms

Miinukset: Nothing, it was all good

Plussat: Great location with easy access. Large room with many facilities. Nice friendly staff,

Miinukset: The shower and room get very wet because the curtain surrounding the shower is to short.

Plussat: We were ungraded to an executive 2 bedroom apartment and it was very nice and spacious. It was home away from home. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was great too, so close to shops and restaurants.

Miinukset: The only thing really was it was a bit noisy. The street noise from cars and people walking past was annoying and noisy. It was hard to sleep, especially on Saturday night.

Plussat: Liked Hotel location.

Miinukset: Didn't like the room. It was below street level, very dark and dismal, no ventilation, bathroom didn't work very well, The windows looking out onto the street were filthy, had to go down 16 steps from the rooms door to get into the room, very claustraphobic

Plussat: So close to Cataract Gorge!

Plussat: Food was excellent and reasonable. Received 10% on food at the hotel as were staying there

Miinukset: Carrying the luggage upstairs

Plussat: Nice, cosy and the cost was very reasonable. Would stay again.

Plussat: Value WiFi

Plussat: Nothing.

Miinukset: Room wasn't good. Located next to reception with noises and no view what so ever.

Plussat: This is a truly excellently appointed accommodation experience. James, the proprietor, is very friendly and all too happy to offer great service. I thoroughly recommend a stay at Auldington. Dan, Huon Valley.

Plussat: james was just wonderfull we had just arrived from air port and of coarse 14 days self isolation he was so understading

Miinukset: nothing just wish james well if it his hotel

Plussat: From the beautiful gardens and into reception this property is stunning. An old convent which has been converted into very comfortable accommodation. The rooms are huge as is the bathroom which has a large bath as well as a shower. Top brand toiletries including makeup removal pads. The views over the city are stunning. If you are planning on staying in Launceston, don’t go past this wonderful property. We are definitely going back again. The guys who own this property are so friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Friendly informative helpful staff

Plussat: Big room including TV and fridge Bathtub + shower (very clean) Comfortable big bed Bath robe, Iron, mini bar I felt very comfortable at this room. I did an after hours check in which was pretty easy.

Plussat: It was clean enough but the pigs that where staying there ( pooh on toilet paper all over the toilet floor) must have made life so difficult for the poor cleaners.

Miinukset: Some disgusting cretin that was staying there

Plussat: Location, free WiFi, friendly staff. Nothing can be really complained about.

Miinukset: No locker. The management insisted that they cleaned the hostel three times a day. But I’ve been staying over a week and hardly seen it cleaned more than once.

Plussat: Decent location and price.

Miinukset: I stayed in room 21 upstairs. I was very disappointed that there was a long term guest that was sharing the bed with her partner. I was kept up until late at night by them kissing and talking. The hostel needs to have clearly enforced rules around sharing beds and couples talking and being intimate in the dorms. This particular couple was Spanish speaking and was clearly staying there long-term and felt entitled to due as they wish. This seems to point to the hostel condoning this type of behaviour.

Plussat: Very dirty, only one shower, in a toilet for the floor of may be 40 persons. Bed no protection, the sheets was clean, the room never cleaned. Very noisy. I know backpacker bug look nobody was staying at the propriety for do the gardien then people could do how they pleased. We will not using this hostel no more .

Plussat: A really good location

Miinukset: Property is quite old and rather shabby. It could really do with an uplift. The kitchen is not really set up to cope with the large number of people using it. Added to which a lot of people don t wash up or tidy up after themselves. So the kitchen is really shabby and not very clean. It does get cleaned by the staff but is soon messed up again. Having said that the hostel was adequate for what i wanted.

Plussat: I got to this hostel after check in time without reservation and called the owner. He came to the hostel for me at 9pm with nice smile. Thank you!
