We stayed on the top floor of the old part of the hotel with a private balcony that had views over the city and up the Tamar Valley. It was quite a climb to the top and the previous reviews about it being old are on the whole pretty accurate. It could definitely do with a coat of paint, some... More

From the moment we arrived after our late flight into Launceston, and welcomed by darling Janine, we felt at home immediately, and after our first night decided to extend our 2 night stay to 3 nights. To our surprise, the next morning Janine was once again welcoming us, and cooking a first class breakfast, all included in the very reasonable... More

I stayed in the newer section with an awesome veiw over Launceston. Room ok, dated weird furniture, old bedding but clean, very freindly and accomodating staff, free wifi.....not the best hotel around, however great price with full breakfast included, cooked as u wait, I would say great value for those with budget in mind and well placed a short walk...

Total disaster from the time we entered our room. Room was dirty, carpet stained, television wouldn't work, faulty power switches in the room making lights flickering on and off through the night felt unsafe. Manager advise was she was unable to get electrician as it was the weekend. No apologies and no offer for another room. No hair dryer in... More

The room was clean, the bed was very comfortable. It had an unusual mix of old and chinese furniture. Could have done with a carpet in the hallway to cut down on the noise of people walking past our room. Breakfast was in the building behind but was very good. Would recommend.

This is the second time we have stayed at this great place. Friendly staff, and a great full English breakfast included in the tariff complete with dining with a wonderful view over Launceston in the brand new dining room. We were ugraded to a beautiful heritage Queen suite with spa and four poster bed because they weren't very busy. The... More

I stayed in the old section in a very small room. The carpet was heavily stained and the room was a bit musty, but the bathroom was very clean and the bed comfortable enough with very clean sheets. breakfast is very generous in the modern part of the premises, but it felt a bit strange going from old wordly to...

We were totally disgusted with our room. The room smelt awful. The carpets were stained and the bathroom was clean but boring. Spa totally uninviting. How on earth it ever got a 4 star rating is beyond me. My rating 3. It is not pretty or luxurious in any way. Just a large spartan room.

We came over for our wedding anniversary Wow what a amazing hotel, we were in the honeymoon suite it was fantastic!! The host could not be anymore accommodating if she tried. Waratah on York is a must stay when in Launceston.
