The location with off street parking is really handy for us, and the room was very quiet. Bed was really comfortable, too - that's a great mattress!

Kelly Australia

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Areca. The room was well appointed and extremely comfortable. A great location with stunning views of the city and surrounding areas. Would definitely recommend for short stays in Launceston. 🙂

Andrea Australia

Check in went well with the out of reception hours key pick up from night box. Good communication. View from room was good and just a short walk to the Coles where I got a few supplies for the day.

Katc75 Australia

I took my own breakfast as none provided. I have food allergies so that is fine. I was allowed to borrow a bowl, but could not find any spoons. I loved my room but found the stairs problematic due to a knee injury, mext time I will ask for a lower floor room. I would love to stay here again, it was so quiet and so comfortable for my overnight needs.

Shannon Australia

Location. We attended a concert at the Albert Hall, which was within walking distance. Also, quite close to the CBD so plenty of restaurants to choose from.

Steven Australia

Double Glazed windows cut down on the outside noise. Plenty of light came into our room after we opened the curtains. Cleanliness of property. Centrally located.

Rodney Australia

Nice staff, clean comfortable, good location, breakfast included:)

Julie Australia

Very comfortable hotel in an excellent location. Great view from my room.

Bruce United States of America

The staff is very friendly. We joined tour and the pickup is very early. Breakfast is only available at 7,30am. They are very kind to give us breakfast in the room a night before. Very helpful.
