The property is located near the heart of Launceston. It was on a steep hill so to walk up from city maybe challenging for some (lucky they have parking!). The bed was a bit too soft to my liking but other than that the room was quiet at night and clean.

Very nice and contemporary feel to the accommodation. The room was well set up but a minor but obvious fault were the fabric covered chairs in the room were not clean and the fabric had worn with wear and needed refreshing. Well priced. Would stay again.

Check-in was easy and receptionist was helpful and very friendly. Cleaning staff were also friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the bathroom was very smelly (shower did not drain fully this may have contributed to the smell?). The bed was uncomfortable (too hard) and the bar fridge was quite noisy and alot of street light penetrated at night, this all contributed to poor sleep. On a positive note no guest noise was apparent and complimentary bottles of water were provided. Overall we would not choose to stay again especially because of the bathroom smell.

When I arrived I was told that my door lock was broken and was being repaired. As the hotel was full they couldn’t offer me another room. The receptionist and repairer did an excellent job ensuring that I was happy while the repair was completed.

Suited our needs for a one night stopover. Room was clean. Room had a modernized bath/shower. Staff were friendly. Be aware of no elevator/lift if you are not staying on a ground floor. Also this location is situated on the side of a very steep grade so walking around the neighborhood will be affected etc.
