The spa on the balcony with a view of Launceston was fantastic.

A little noisy on the bottom level as it was right beside the entrance Slight sewerage smell at times

Comfortable clean room with plenty of towels etc provided

Stayed in April 2024

Limited hours of staffing but can still access. Pillows a little thick for my personal taste. Fine for others

Nice old house with good rooms and conveniently located.

The armchairs are too old and the smell of fabric deodorant on them is overwhelming. Wifi isn’t reliable

Great view, beautiful big historical building

Extremely noisy in the room every time bathrooms used by guests in adjoining rooms (on the level above and also next door)

Charm and location

Nothing

The ambience of the place. Lovely to stay in a house built in 1863 and tastefully renovated to retain the original features. Luxury. The bed was so comfortable, excellent mattress. The views over the city were fantastic. So easy to walk into the city without having to take the car and lovely, helpful lady on reception.

Dragging bags up the stairs.

Beautiful spacious room, big bathroom.

The staff hasn't told us to park at York street to unload our luggage. So we need to walk 30 steps up while carrying our luggages

Only stayed one night, but it was a great location, clean, and comfortable. It is such a beautiful old building.

Very convenient location. Comfy bed.

The rooms were huge, including a large bathroom, and very comfortable. The property is located on the top of a hill so the views were amazing. As many other reviews note, there are quite a few stairs and, if you end up in the overflow car park, a rather steep hill, so if you require accessible rooms, you should keep looking. If that’s not an issue for you, this is the perfect base for exploring Launceston. It’s very convenient to shopping and restaurants.

The stairs were pretty steep but I understand that the heritage of the old building means the stairs need to stay.

SPA with a view after a week long bush walk in the mountains was so good. the bed was super comfy

Stayed in March 2024

We did not have issue with the stairs but some guests would find accessing their room on 2nd floor difficult

Central location close to cafes, restaurants & parks. Room beautifully decorated with loads of room & great layout.

That breakfast was not available. Very disappointed as that was one reason we booked Waratah on York.

Very helpful receptionist who made us feel really welcome. She carried our bags up the steep stairs & gave us lots of local information.

Beautiful big old house (I think) converted to a comfortable hotel. Good sized rooms. Convenient location.

No breakfast available

This place was beautiful and presented a charm of luxury. Room was very spacious and comfortable with high ceiling. Location at the top of the hill, but not far to pubs and restaurants.

Only the crumbs in the bed, the air/con , didn’t work, or was difficult to work. I found it to have a lot of old charm.

Everything looked amazing, until I went to get into the bed, unfortunately crumbs all over the bottom sheet, this was unfortunate. Could not get the a/c to cool or heat. Maybe that’s me beautiful room.

No complaints

The staff were really helpful and friendly.

That our room was adjacent to the front door so we were constantly woken up by people coming in late and leaving early. I am talking about 11.40 pm and 6.00 am Even though it was walk to the city it was a very steep hill back so not really suitable for older people!

The historical building

Windows stayed open.

Fantastic location, quiet, comfortable room. Car parking available.

Nothing to mention.

Easy walking distance to anywhere in the CBD. Amenities in the room.

Stayed in March 2024

Only issue was parking, but not sure what can be done about that given the location of the property.

Staff were very welcoming, professional but personable. Late check out was very much appreciated as I had a job interview right on check out time.

We would have loved to stay longer. It was hard to leave.

We really felt like we were staying in a Victoran Mansion. It was so opulent and cosy.

We stayed in apartment #10 on the 2nd floor (accessed by stairs, there is no lift in the building). It was very large with old world charm, open plan kitchen, dining area, lounge, 3 large bedrooms (very comfortable beds) & a bathroom with shower over a small tub! The kitchen is very modern with all the facilities you require including an integral washing machine & dryer (very grateful of this as we were on a 3 week lap of Tassie:)) You do need to be able to climb stairs so if mobility is an issue the staff are very willing to assist with carrying your luggage, otherwise ask for a ground floor room. Parking on York St. is available for a short time, unless its the weekend when it is free both days. There are quite a few steps from the parking lot at the back of the building. The hotel is at the top of a hill so driving or getting an Uber is an option if, once again, mobility is an issue. The staff are very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable of the area & restaurants. We would recommend staying here. If you love authentic Italian food with a great atmosphere & very attentive staff we highly recommend the family owned La Cantina on George St. ... delizioso!!:)
