3-Star Hotels in Launceston

We arrived at the Leisure Inn Penny Royal Hotel and Appartments and was welcomed so warmly by the lady in reception. She was friendly, courteous and so warm in her dealings with us. Our room was ready even though we arrived an hour early. The building is charming , full of character. Our room was old but spotless and full of charm. Just beautiful. The only downside is we are only spending 1 night here and would definitely stay again.

This was the best place I stayed in Tasmania and was close to the Gorge and city centre. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and a toaster and kettle were provided. There was even a free drink at the restaurant downstairs!

I would like to give the reception staff Lisa and Karen 10 out of 10 for wonderful service. I was trying to get a bed for one night and rang the hotel as I'd booked on what I thought was their website - I'd booked the wrong night and couldn't change it. Lisa was the lady I spoke to and she very kindly sorted it for me in such a lovely manner. Then when I arrived Karen was on reception and the welcome was warm and friendly and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Personality plus, what an asset! The room was on the small side but comfortable, spotless and had a fabulous view of the city. It is also within walking distance of two theatres, bars and restaurants. A genuine pleasure to stay here, thank you ladies.

As a solo traveller just spending one night in Launceston, The Star Hotel was the ideal choice. It is centrally located and street parking was easy to find and free between 17.30 and 09.00 next day. The room itself was compact but comfortable with an ensuite. The friendly, efficient female staff member was able to help with local advice and when I decided to have dinner later, the food and service were exceptional. Three see a couple of stair cases to negotiate but really no trouble. This place was a highlight of my travel in Tasmania.

While there was nothing seriously wrong with the place, there were many things not right. You would expect a 4 person room to have things like 4 sets of glasses or cutlery, but nope. The car parks were also filled with old junk (lounge suite, fridge etc.) and are a very tight fit, if someone doesn't park perfectly don't expect to get your car in. The rooms are very tired and dated. Our room had gaudy pink tiles in the bathroom with a shub rather than a proper shower. We used the laundry once, paid the $2 to use the washing machine which didn't complete its cycle and we returned to find clothes that hadn't been rinsed or spun. The many notes around the rooms made the whole place feel unfriendly - I get that extra costs have to be charged in some cases but a simple welcome book like most motels have that outline the rules is far nicer. Overall though the rooms were clean and the guests were quiet. If you're just looking for a place to stay this place is OK. It worked for us and I'd stay here again if it was just for a night or two.

We had a lovely stay in a two bedroom apartment for two nights, The apartment was very clean and tidy. Everything we needed was supplied. So comfortable and welcoming. Big plus.....The shower was amazing. Very friendly and helpful lady in reception, always nice to be greeted with a smile

It's in a very convenient location. There's a pub next door, but you can sleep quietly at night. The food at the pub is cheap and filling. There is no hair dryer, so please bring your own. The best thing was that when I left something behind, they contacted me and arranged for it to be sent to me. The staff are very helpful.

What it lacks in being away from the CBD is made up for in comfort and price. The modern set of apartments are excellent. The only negative for me - pots and pans are non-stick and unfortunately unless the very top of the range, the non-stick coating comes away over use. I don't like plastic kettles as we are exposed to enough plastics without having to boil our water in it. So a change to the kettle and cookware would be nice. I chose to not use the cookware because of this, so more pyrex ware would be nice for use in the microwave. Loved the washing machine in the unit. The units are very comfortable and bedrooms are not beside each other and we did not experience any noise at all. Very well equipped kitchen. Warm and very clean and comfortable. It's a great base for an extended holiday in Launceston.

I am a bit reluctant to praise our stay at Gardeners Cottage too highly, because it will make it more difficult to book in the future! Such a special experience, a beautifully restored old cottage tucked away in a rambunctious cottage garden. It brought back so many powerful childhood memories of visiting Tasmania in the 1960s - the hawthorn hedges, huge conifers, oak trees, sheep. But now I can also appreciate the historical significance of the World Heritage listed farm village. One of very few remaining from that time, when labour was cheap and each farm a village.

At first we can't find the reception as the address they gave us was empty. Hv to call the guy to lead us there. The house is 200% fully equipped with all the nitty gritty thing you can't imagine, even a air fryer, band aid..... Clean new n modern. Great value for the price u paid.
