I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were very clean with both modern and classic touches, and the breakfast in the dining room which all the rooms are built around was great. The bathroom was modern and perfect. The service was top-notch, with the staff being very accommodating, even helping me cart my luggage up the stairs. The location was comfortable with good views of the city, and I made sure to visit the City Park to see the monkeys. The dining experience was nice and simple, with fabulous choices available. Overall, a great place to stay with lovely views and a cozy lounge area.

My stay at the hotel was delightful. The room had a nice mix of modern and classic furniture, and the view over Launceston was lovely. The location was perfect for exploring the city, with a park nearby and easy access to attractions. The service was incredibly helpful and accommodating. The dining experience was good, especially with chefs cooking eggs to your liking, but unfortunately, I missed breakfast one morning. Overall, a great stay with some minor inconveniences.

The room was beautiful with a nice mix of modern and classic furniture and a lovely view. However, the air conditioner was positioned above the side of the bed and blew uncomfortably on the person sleeping on that side.

The hotel offers a great location close to the city center with easy access to restaurants. The rooms are spacious, modern, and clean, providing a comfortable stay. The friendly staff goes out of their way to assist guests, making the service exceptional. However, the hotel is situated at the top of a steep hill, which may be challenging for some visitors.
