The property was lovely, however, and this is not a criticism of the hotel or the staff, but be aware with wooden floors, guests coming back after midnight can be heard coming in and walking around. They provided me with the soy milk for my coffee that I had requested, and Pia, the hotel staff member could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Plenty of parking, warm and comfortable room. It is a good walking distance down to the main shopping areas, but that only helps build up an appetite for dinner :)

We loved this historic property. It still had all the comforts of a modern facility. The heated blanket was a big hit. The receptionist/manager was very welcoming and helpful with information about Tasmania. It was very clean.

The room was incredible with lots of thoughtful touches from the wonderful staff. The building is stunning and in a fantastic location. Just be aware that it's heritage listed so you can hear other guests (there are signs asking for quiet and ear plugs are provided) and there are a couple of flights of stairs from the carpark to the top floor; people with mobility issues may find it difficult. We loved our stay and would gladly go back!

A great location, a gorgeous old building, close to the heart of Launceston. Great restaurants and parks close by, with on site parking, it all made for a lovely stay. A warm welcome from the staff and a lovely big room overlooking the park and river in the distance made for a most enjoyable stay.

Great historic and lovely view in a magnificent town, Launceston N Central Tasmania. The area is filled with vineyards and top quality restaurants are numerous. This hotel is however quite a challenge for anyone with mobility issues especially if you’re on the second floor.
