I have stayed at Balmoral a few times and their service and facilities are consistently of a high standard. The staff are all delightful and all requests are met promptly and with a smile. I stayed on the third floor on my most recent stay and loved the panoramic view of Launceston. The room was spacious, well appointed and clean... More

We stayed here one night, it was a lovely establishment. Older but had been done up nicely. We stayed in room 303, great views of the city and windows were clean and actually opened so you could have fresh air if you liked. Very clean and tastefully decorated. Mini bar was fantastic, we don't use the mini bar much but... More

During my travels over the 2 weeks and staying in many properties throughout Tasmania....this was by far the worst. As one of the previous comments stated---the air conditioning did not work. Being on the 4th floor (and a warm day), this made for a less than pleasant sleep. It was only after we opened the window, did we find a... More

This hotel is centrally located just a short downhill walk to Launcestone's shops and restaurants. It's got a free car park and very friendly reception staff. We had a particularly large, clean and comfortable room equiped with flat screen TV, fridge etc. The continental breakfast (extra) was above average. If ever in Launcestone again we would happily stay there.. More

We booked our accommodation because of the name "Best Western". However, it is no longer a Best Western hotel. It is independently run. It was a disappointing stay - the air conditioner did not work (only the fan was running), the bed was old and sagging, the mini bar fridge was dripping with water, the shower base was mouldy. and...

We enjoyed our stay at Balmoral on York and found the location very convenient. We did a lot of walking around the shopping area, down by the water and across to the Old Mill. THe owners were very friendly and the room was very clean and comfortable. We only ate there on one night and I believe their normal chef... More
