Launceston Hoteller

The complex had a great deal of charm and was wonderfully located right next to Cataract Gorge and walking distance to everything for which we were in Launceston (incl York Park for the football - sadly the Hawks lost). Unfortunately there were renovations of the apartment next door to the one we stayed in so the 7am hammering was a bit unfortunate after a late arrival the night before - a little "Fawlty Towers"!! But obviously this would only be temporary so wouldn't affect most visitors.

Leisure Inn Penny Royal apartments were within easy walking distance to the Brisbane Street Mall and Cataract Gorge, and it was an added bonus that Gourlays Sweet shop and Penny Royal Tavern were also right there on hand!!! The internal staircase was very creaky and poky, but thats about the only issue I had with the apartment

Enjoyed the old world charm

It was a good basic set of rooms . I quite liked the early times theme. A little noisy mainly from road traffic.The TV reception was not very good.

I think the exterior of the units is European looking and is architecturally attractive. The room was too small.

Handy to all the shops & business Felt the dinner was only fair it was cheaper to eat out much better selection

Dinner at Snappers No "quality" that would be expected in a big chain non-budget hotel. Water pressure was insufficient for showering, housekeeping interruptions due to no do not disturb signs.

Good location. The restaurant, we had a $38 steak, it was as tough as rubber and the chef didn't offer any apologies, just said that he would have eaten it, my partner ate it, I couldn't even chew it. I got a pasta dish which was very dry, they didn't charge us for the pasta but did for the steak, wasn't happy. There were a number of other things that we didn't like but I don't have enough room.

The central location is the best feature. The facilities and staff were also what we were looking for at the time. Not really.

played golf. dined out could not believe that there was no air con in the room. It was very hot even with a floor fan.

It is in a good location. On the first night there were a group of very loud young men who talked all night and moved from room to room. If there is a group of young men they will make noise (we all know that!) so they should be booked away from other clients. We were moved the next night and the staff were very responsive but were exhausted as a result of disturbed sleep.

location the room was full of ants

Professional and comprehensive service; convenient location, easy parking. Garbo's noise at 05:00!!!!! And generally on our holiday we have found internet access to be expensive, ad-hoc, and not satisfactory. Specifically I cannot remember the Launceston; but really most need a good shake up ...

Breakfast was excellent. It is clearly aging and deaos not seem to get reinvested.

Nice large rooms, clean and with a refurbished feel. Freindly staff. Good location. Good value for money. On site parking. Debited my credit card when I made the booking.

Position is good within walking distance of CBD. Rooms are a good size and staff very obliging. We have stayed here previously and the rooms appear to have been refurbished. OUr breakfast tray was delivered as requested the previous night (early departure). Refurbished bathrooms do not have any space to put toiletries and only pump soap is provided. No shower cap/shampoos/body lotion supplied. Towels of very average quality. Room key did not work in first instance requiring a trek back to reception.

Close to shopping and many choices for dining out.

a comfortable and quiet stay in Launceston

Quiet and peaceful No

close city location, reasonable comfort for the price. noise factor. pipes "hammer" very loudly whenever other rooms use water/shower so had no sleep which detered me from staying next time and have booked into the country club for our next two night stay in launceston.

staff where great and attentive the town clock

Comfortable and ease of parking just across the road.

Pleasant room. Excellent proximity to city. Balconies. All extras charged for. Nothing seemed to come without a price on it. Parking was charged for and was a very tight fit.
