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.

convenient location to the city centre and also had a great view of Launceston from the room. However the room seemed to be slightly old and creaked in under the windy conditions of the city.

The property was okay. The room was nice enough. There was no lift for suitcases and parking was limited. We found the property was hard to find and needed to use a steep driveway. Wasn’t our favourite place on our trip but served its purpose for one night.

The property was clean, but on a steep slope. Also stairs to 2nd floor accommodation. Not what this old fella needs after a drive. Good spot though, clean and functional.

Pleasant check in process. Room was clean and immaculate with nice views of the city. Only note is that there is no elevator if you're booked in an upstairs room.
