I stayed at Peppers Seaport and the Hotel Charles so thought it might be useful to compare them as two of the leading hotels in Launceston. Hotel Charles is a great place to stay. The staff are friendly, with a bit of spunk. Both Peppers and Hotel Charles have their advantages. Hotel Charles has funkier rooms which get away from... More

Picked it based on tripadvisor reviews. Room was fine. Breakfast was good. Service ok. Enjoyed the 1 mile walk to dinner each night. Only complaint was the tight parking which led to our car getting scraped in their parking lot.

This building used to be the old Launceston General Hospital and so being an x local of 30 years ago I avoided it when it was turned into a hotel. What a mistake.....the place is transformed not a modern contemporary boutique hotel and is central to all the good eating areas. Staff friendly and helpful....I recommend.

Hotel Charles was our choice for a spontaneoud getaway...check in staff were very accommodating, including free upgrade to King Studio. Rooms were spacious and warm, bathroom was huge....and a highlight was brunch in the inhouse restaurant, best gluten-free bread I've had and all made in-house! Would definately stay again!! Good location within walking distance of City.

Stayed here for five days in April. Very clean, modern hotel. Approximately 10 to 15 min (walking) from CBD which is handy (if you can cope with going up and down the hills!). Reception staff were very helpful and always there to lend a hand when needed. My only had criticism would be the free wireless internet - there is... More

The hotel is approximately 20 minutes walk from the centre of town. The building is relatively new with good beds and a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower. The rooms are not large but adequate for a short stay. Although there is a hospital opposite, we heard no noise and had a good night's sleep. Due to the distance into... More

I stay here every 6-8 weeks when I come to Launceston for work. The accommodation is lovely - - modern and always very clean. There are great views of the city if you're in a room at the front of the hotel too. But, please let me tell you about the food.....it never disappoints. The menu includes a pleasing variety... More
