Guest Reviews

• Rick (9/5): - friendly reception and easy check in beautiful building and decor. great room. comfortable clean elegant carpeted and well appointed. sizeable modern bathroom limited tv stations
• Melanie (10/5): A wonderful, comfortable brief stay. - Felt safe. Quiet and secure. Great communication by staff. Plunger coffee pot with locally ground coffee would be a nice upgrade from the instant satchels.
• Alice (7/5): Very clean and comfortable place to stay for a quick visit. - Very nice, friendly customer service when I arrived. Beautiful old house even though some development has occurred in front which blocked the views from my room on the Ground floor. Bright lights outside in the carpark - the curtains didn't really block out the light enough for me, as I am a bit sensitive to light at night.
• Claudette (10/5): -
• Rachel (6/5): -
• Viljoen (8/5): Comfortable - Love the room, decor - heritage feel. Location. View Would love the option of a mini bar. Not much amenities to choose from VERY basic. No biscuits, no hot chocolate - basic coffee and tea.
• Jennifer Sue (9/5): - Everything A very beautiful grand building from 1863 adapted elegantly for modern living. We loved our stay in a large and gorgeous room.
• Penny (9/5): Waratah on York - Beautiful building. Rooms great size Nothing
• Georgia (9/5): It was a delight to stay in a beautiful old home. - Lovely old building that’s been beautifully maintained. Great spot. If I have to find a negative it would be… because we were on ground floor, the windows are frosted for privacy (thank you), but that means there is no view of lovely Launnie.
• Jennifer (10/5): Very pleasant stay from start to finish. - Very pleasant stay from start to finish. The check-in process was warm and friendly, making us feel welcome straight away. The room was comfortable and relaxing, with an incredibly comfy bed and a lovely large bath that was perfect after a long day. The standout for us was the stunning outlook from the balcony room; such a beautiful view and a lovely space to unwind. Everything felt clean, cosy, and well looked after. Would definitely recommend to others and would happily stay again.
• Sarah (10/5): Very comfortable, quiet and cosy - Friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful, cosy rooms.
• Fiona (10/5): - Location Character Space of apartment Styling of apartment
• Thomas (10/5): -
• Jacqueline Ochoa (9/5): -
• Linda (9/5): Highly recommend. Great stay. - Fantastic property and really comfortable rooms It is on top of a hill so be prepared for the walk! Very close to everything g though.
• Susan (8/5): Lovely place to stay - Great views from the bedroom. Lovely spacious rooms. Tastefully decorated. Very comfortable. Pity we could only stay one night. Will come again. The Don’t have any complaints.?
• Lesley (10/5): Beautiful room, with exceptional fittings, toiletries even down to the luxurious towels - Excellent room, from bed to linen, bathroom. Exceptional
• Karen (7/5): An old world charmer - The room was very spacious. There was a lot of parking for our car. The room was a little cold. We were a little disappointed that there were no views from the executive room that we stayed in.
• Bryan (10/5): - The accommodation and room was excellent
• Garry (10/5): Great - The charm Bit of a walk to city centre
• Rose (9/5): -
• Heather (10/5): -
• David (9/5): - Quiet, good value
• Alan (10/5): Lovely, charming property with a comfortable room and very clean premises. - Really liked the large room and newly renovated bathroom. The tea and coffee station was an added bonus and it felt very warm and cosy inside. Location is at the top of a hill which we didn’t consider when booking
• Andrea (10/5): Very comfortable with very helpful staff. - The staff were very helpful. I mistakenly thought there was a kitchen and had to cancel after 2 nights to get a place with a kitchen and they refunded me the difference which they didn't have to do. On the first night our room filled with cigarrette smoke smell due to another guest smoking in their room and the next day we were upgraded to another bigger room. When booking there were photos of a kitchen. This is only one of the rooms, not all of the rooms have a kitchen.
• Romanda (10/5): I stayed 3 nights with my husband. We had a room downstairs which was quiet despite facing a main road. We loved the loc - Great location. Very clean. Spacious rooms. The building & rooms have a lovely old world character. Friendly helpful staff. Easy check in & out. No streaming service on the tv.
• Jennifer (8/5): Very pleasant stay. Comfortable. Friendly, helpful staff. -
• Mai (8/5): An enjoyable stay in a heritage house which was in a very handy location to the town centre. - The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. If it had been raining, the loading / unloading of the car would have not been pleasant. Lucky for us the weather was dry.
• Samuel (9/5): - Great stay, MASSIVE apartment for our family of five. Very steep walk home after anything in town, but we made do and will definitely come back again.
• Stella (7/5): - Very beautiful old property, with friendly staff (if there) The lights in the room were literally all horrible neon electrical saving light bulbs in white light. For a historic property like this it really takes away the charm. Also, the doors don’t seal properly and the light on the corridors are on the whole night..you will need a sleeping mask ;) or invest in motion sensor
• Julie (6/5): Comfortable and value for money- but did not live up to the photos. Possible because we were ‘upgraded’ to a 3 bed suite - Beautiful old building Entrance was up a steep incline which was hard to pull the cases up and down as there was limited parking spaces so we had to park down the hill.
• Jeffrey (8/5): -
• Tim (10/5): -
• Noela (8/5): -
• Rachel (9/5): Nice boutique hotel - Good location and beautiful room. Very comfortable And lovely to stay there
• chris (9/5): - An Elegant spacious and comfortable accommodation with three large bedrooms, perfect for a family of six adults. Parking out the front and walking distance to cafes, restaurants and the city centre and the beautiful city park! Sharing one bathroom between us but we knew that when we booked the apartment. One of the bedrooms had a window that rattled in the wind but nothing a piece of cardboard didn’t fix!
• Lisa (8/5): Lovely short stay enjoyed city park close to facility. - Good location to city centre short walk. Could be slightly different if raining during winter months. Free parking excellent. No views of town.
• Paul (9/5): -
• Whatismyname (9/5): - A good location, comfy bed, cozy atmosphere. Instant hot water There is a wide gap between front door of the room and the floor. I could hear noise from the hallway. That was the sound of other people walking and talking on the hallway.
• Rebecca (10/5): Delightful botique luxury - Gorgeous historical property. Rooms enormous, baths divine.
• Robert (9/5): thoroughly enjoyed the stay - Rooms was excellent stairs
• Karen (10/5): -
• Robyn (9/5): Great stay at this beautiful historic home. Thankyou - Great location, super clean and welcoming. Nothing. I liked everything!
• lisa (10/5): Lovely property & great location - The location was excellent, & we loved the style of the house. Very similar to our home in the UK. Very spacious & comfortable. N/A
• mccullough (9/5): -
• Danny (10/5): -
• Thomas (9/5): - Super friendly staff, lovely old building with lovely rooms
• Yunjin (9/5): Romantic palace-style accommodation - The staff upgraded our room to a suite, and the room was so nice and romantic. The only downside was that it wasn’t soundproof, so you could hear someone’s footsteps outside of your door. I also found a cigarette on the terrace.
• Mel (10/5): Great - Lovely place, nice and big with lots of room and quite
• BELINDA (9/5): A very neat and convenient location with great hospitality. - Very convenient location - within walking distance of cafes, main area of town. The room was quite spacious, modern bathroom and comfortable bed. Highly recommend. Stairs may be an issue for some but this is pointed out when booking.
• Wanda (8/5): - Close enough to the CBD to walk to restaurants. Also close to the Queens Park to watch the Monkeys in the enclosure.
• Charlotte (9/5): Excellent place if you are just looking for a room and happy to go out for all meals. - Good location, just out of CBD but easy walking distance Access from car park, but only because we had big bags.
• Julie (10/5): Comfy, fabulous period touches, views of river, centrally located. - Scrupulously clean. Beautiful care products available- even makeup remover. Bath tub was divine. Stairs- didn't worry us. Might be significant for others.
• Samie (10/5): We’d book it again! - Space and configuration Dining table wasn’t very clean. Only shared spaces were air conditioned.
• Adrian (9/5): Bridgerton with real history - Historic feel and clean. Also great value for money. Plenty of stairs however, it was expected.
• David (10/5): -
• Peter (8/5): -
• Andrea (8/5): -
• Karen (10/5): Classy hotel. - Such a lovely hotel, elegant and welcoming. All staff encountered were very helpful and friendly. There was nothing I didnt like.
• Monica (10/5): -
• Tom (5/5): Not bad but next time I would choose a room that does not face the busy York road and has more space - It is a beautiful, charming and well maintained old building and the receptionist was frendly and helpful. The location is convenient and made walking to restaurants and attractions easy, but as warned it is on a steep hill and has a number of steps then stairs to our room. Unfortunately our room was facing a busy and noisy road, making our room less than cosy. The bed was quite firm and didnlt make for a good nights sleep. The rainwater shower head was underwhelming. The room lacked a microwave which is a necessity imo but ths was as advertised so I can't really complain.
• Nigel (8/5): Two Day Stay at Waratah Heights - On the inside, Waratah on York is impeccably old fashioned and freshly painted in heritage colours. Our room was very large, furnished with nice period pieces and appropriately modern in the bathroom. The enclosed balcony is nice with extensive views over Launceston. We did get a nice reception from Chloe on arrival. Somehow the exterior of Waratah on York doesn’t match the grandeur of the interior; the ‘scaffolding’ on the entrance steps really detracts. It’s rather a trek in and out of Waratah on York with luggage, car parking is dispersed and on a steep hill. The bathroom really needs a hand held shower. The room was very hot on arrival; the curtains and blinds should be closed by the cleaners so that the room is at a better temperature when entering.
• Leah (10/5): - It would have been nice to stay longer but was just a stop over for 1 night. So clean with very comfy beds.
• Alina (8/5): -
• JD (8/5): Beautiful property with long and interesting history - Period style accomodation. Parking
• Dejana (6/5): served the purpose - location the stairs to get yo the front door ridiculous!
• Tjahjadi (9/5): -
• Anthony (9/5): Perfect for an overnight stay - Good size bedroom. Excellent bathroom. They didn’t give me a code for after hours access. Had the instructions but not the code. Nor the help number which I got from another guest so all was fine in the end.
• Lisa (8/5): Will stay again, was very nice and affordable accommodation - The rooms were spacious, clean and welcoming Located on a steep hill, staircases to both parking areas and upper level rooms, no lift, not easily accessible for people with mobility issues
• Alice (8/5): We had a delightful stay in a beautiful period building. - The room was large and very comfortable. The bathroom was well appointed and very clean. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding clean, warm and comfy. The stairs were steep but we were given adequate warning so we coped well. The manageress was very helpful and carried our backup the car park steps at a run ! The window was held open with a piece of wood which was not the best look. It was difficult to fill the jug in the sink though a jug was supplied for the purpose. These are two very minor matters and in no way interfered with the enjoyment of our stay.
• Casey (9/5): Lovely comfortable and reasonably priced stay in central Launceston. - Loved the heritage style property. Great location, friendly staff. Clean, comfortable room in heritage style with modern bathroom. Nice fluffy towels.
• Jothi (8/5): A microwave would be good - The room was good Would have liked breakfast to be included and a microwave
• Bronwen (10/5): Lovely hotel in good location - Beautiful old building Great location
• Anthony (9/5): - It was a beautiful room and very comfortable We were on the ground floor so it was noisy sometimes as people walk past
• Yvonne (10/5): Great overnight stay - Perfect location and beautiful maintened old mansion
• Francine (9/5): Lovely rooms and ornate. - The old style was magnificent and we have there a few times. It was a bed and breakfast but no longer unfortunately so we had to make do with our own resources of cereal and milk which we self catered for.
• Fiona (10/5): Excellent - Very comfortable and great location Nil
• Marisol (9/5): Rejuvenating - Quiet, lovely room with a view, huge modern bathroom. Close to cafes and park Very steep climb back to the hotel. On a positive note - exercise after a large meal!
• Suzy (9/5): -
• Julie (9/5): Beautiful historic mansion - Spacious comfortable room in historic mansion The steep hill from town
• Ralph (9/5): - Clean and very spacious
• Reza (7/5): Beautiful victorian hotel - rooms are beautiful, beautiful exterior. The beds were comfortable. Bathroom was clean and toiletries provided are good quality. Parking is ample on the street as well as at the hotel - this is usually a headache for hotels near the CBD. Our rooms were by the front door - sound proofing is an issue with people entering and exiting. Earbuds are provided for those that are sensitive to noise but thats not practical for the whole time. There is no lounge area or sitting area except outside, so the only place to be at the hotel is in your room - do not recommend if you are more than one couple traveling together, it would be more appropriate for those traveling with a partner.
• Rachel (9/5): - Good location a few minutes walk from restaurants and central Launceston. Plenty of parking. Room had lovely high ceilings, so very light filled, and was quiet despite being in a fairly main road. Clean. Comfy bed and a good shower. Check in staff was delightful and helpful but that’s the only time we saw anyone. Convenient place to spend two nights in Launceston. Lots of stairs but the receptionist kindly helped us with our bags when we arrived.
• Anders (8/5): Nice hotel in central location - Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice large room. Central location.
• Heike (8/5): Stilvolles altes Stadthotel mit wenigen Zimmern und guter Privatsphäre -
• Leanne (9/5): -
• Steven (9/5): Spacious and well appointed apartment in a grand old residence - Spacious and well appointed apartment with convenient location
• Wendy (8/5): Just what we needed to start our Tasmania holiday - Enjoyed the boutique style, olde world. Probably the stairs but not really an issue.
• Sebastian (10/5): -
• fiona (10/5): Nicely renovated historic property elevated position at top end of town close to good cafes and pubs - Lovely renovated historic property We didn’t mind the stroll down into town but some might - also need to carry luggage up stairs if not on ground level
• Lynn (8/5): -
• Emily (8/5): - The bed linen and the bed were incredibly comfortable. Will stay here again 1
• szuyao (10/5): - Atomosphere
• Janet (9/5): Enjoyable, comfortable stay - Lovely spacious, comfortable room, very clean and well presented. Great location to walk into town. Friendly and welcoming staff.
• Mark (10/5): -
• JMD (10/5): - Large spacious rooms Couldn't fault this place
• Adrienne (10/5): Welcoming introduction to the lovely town of Launceston. - Lovely welcoming hotel. Pia was so warm and helpful when we arrived and throughout our one night stay. The hotel feels special. Nothing but it is worth noting that the hotel is a climb from the main road into town but this wasn’t a problem for us and taxis are cheap
• Lyn (9/5): -
• Cath (10/5): -
• Katie (9/5): A lovely old house with a fascinating history, well located to appreciate Launceston. - Beautiful big room with a magnificent view. Good location just up the hill from the park and walkable distance to the supermarket. Fascinating history of the property provided which we appreciated! We liked everything! One aspect which might cause some difficulty is the steepness of steps up to the guesthouse if mobility is an issue.
