Nice place, steep walk back from town

This place is near the top of a steep hill, not far from town but a hard walk home. The staff were very helpful, the room was nice with a reasonable view, but we didn't rebook due to the inconvenience of getting back after an evening out

Nice, comfortable clean motel. Its off the main road and on a steep drive, so a bit tricky to find but that makes it very quiet! Quite a walk to shops, so you would need a vehicle. Nice modern bathroom wtuh a superb rain shower which was lovely.

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.
