We have stayed with Waratah on York 5 times in the past 5 years and each time the, service and hospitality were outstanding. But unfortunately is now under new management and the new owners have no idea on how to run a hotel of this quality. The breakfast was excellent but, the hosts were rude and un-educated in quality service,... more

Very nice, big room on ground floor, facing onto street, but not too noisy. Very helpful employees and good breakfast. However, imagine our horror when we found the ensuite window was clear glass with a footpath from the front street to entrance at the back of the hotel running right past it. The window did have net curtains but these... more

I booked via lastminute.com.au for two heritage double rooms for self & spouse and two friends. The discrepancy in the rooms was ludicrous. One room large and beautifully appointed, the other not quite large enough to swing a cat and the same price for both. In both rooms the single flush in the toilet did not work. In our room... more

I stayed one night (Xmas night 2008) and was quite happy with what I got for my discounted rate off Wotif.com. If I had paid the full rate, I probably would have been disappointed like other reviews I've read. I stayed in the first room on the right as you enter the hotel and it was a large room with... more

Our pre-paid one-night stay was booked with two person spa bath. On arrival we were asked if we would like to upgrade to a 'room with a view which also had a double spa bath' for an extra $36. Upon advising we had booked a double spa bath, we were told that the only room that had a double spa... more

This was the biggest disappointment of our Tassie holiday. It was nothing like the photos portrayed. Total lack of service as we found when lugging our cases up two flights of stairs into an old and musty room which had the window propped open with two blocks of wood. To make a up of tea or coffee we had to... more

Booked a spa suite through Wotif and got for a reasonable price. Decent accommodation, but rooms were a little worn. Pros- Complimentary Port in the guest room. Cons- HEAPS of stairs to try and lug luggage up to rooms. - Open fire in guest room was not lit, assume this was due to limited number of guests staying at the... more

For our last night in Launceston we stayed in the spa suite at Waratah on York, and it was everything we hoped for and more. On arriving the staff were very friendly and attentive, taking us right to our room, and making sure we knew where the good resturants in town were. The rooms are beautiful, very big with good... more

I have just been and stayed at Waratah again and still love it! I walked down to Fetivale at the park and it was wonderful.Everything is so close.Tasmania has so much to offer- The wine and food was lovely. The staff are always friendly and give that extra special service at Waratah. I can't wait to go back again! more

Had a good stay at the Waratah.Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and spacious. Only flaw was that the door didnt reach the bottom of the floor so we could hear people outside if they walked by. Also, the location is at the top of a hill on York Road, so if you are going to be walking... more
