Art Hotel on York

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, quiet and close to everything on offer"

Hotel Grand Chancellor Launceston

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous"

Launceston Central Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed for seven nights at the Launceston Central Apartment Hotel, which is close to the shopping area and convenient for public transport. Communication with the staff was excellent and both check in and check out went smoothly. The accommodation offered a clean room, a spacious bathroom, a kitchenette, and a laundry facilities. The room temperature worked fine for me, so I did not use air conditioning. I did not drive, so I did not use the car park."

Country Club Tasmania

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place if you like Golf or Gambling. Building is still in progress. I will definitely come back again next year for a few days."
