Hotel berhampiran Corra Linn Historic Fish Ponds, Launceston

It’s is a beautiful hotel! It’s clean and has a lot of comfort items to make you feel at home. Great location, easy to get in and out of the city. Environment was pleasant and welcoming. The staff was the nicest staff I have ever encountered at a hotel. They were always friendly and asked how our stay was going every time walked in the door.

Pros: The receptionists were friendly and willing to help. The bathroom was spacious. A purple pen was provided in our room so that I could write my postcard,which was good. Cons: I can't believe that the overall Google star rating of this hotel is 4.3/5 which is definitely overrated! I should have read the negative reviews from Tripadvisor before my stay at this hotel! I have no idea how often the housekeepers clean the rooms and change the bed sheets/linens but the carpet in our room DO need a deep clean(to vacuum)! Or at least they should vacuum the carpet more often. I could always feel some fleas/bugs jumping on my feet and legs every night. I tried to ignore them but unfortunately I had flea bites! This made me feel itchy and painful! Please see the photo below. On top of that, the wall light switches were covered with dust. It's funny that the hotel restaurant (Titanium Bar and Bistro) isn't open at lunchtime. What if the hotel guests feel hungry and want to have a proper lunch? The pillows were incredibly high,which wasn't comfy. The fixed showerhead was quite inconvenient - I prefer a hand shower. Dental kits and slippers weren't provided. We had to go to a supermarket to buy them and it took us 10 minutes to get there. Our room faced the car park so we were woken up by the noise (may be a rubbish truck) very early in the morning. I attempted to leave the review on Google but unfortunately it was deleted.

I stayed as a single occupant for a business trip. I didn't need parking and was only staying for one night. The room was spacious and comfortable. It was clean and well equipped. I liked the canvas prints of Tasmanian landmarks. While the fan in the bathroom sounded like a cargo plane taking off, it was easily forgiven as it was only needed when having a shower. The toiletries supplied seemed lovely but I only used to body wash and soap - there was body wash, body lotion, shampoo, conditioner, shower cap, sanitary bag. The bed was comfortable. In the firmer side but I like that. Plenty of comfy pillows. Location was central - the name doesn't lie. I was able to walk easily to many parts of the city. The little details really amplify a stay in a hotel. At Launceston Central it was the fact that there was ear plugs available in the lift. I had forgotten mine and can't sleep without them. Saved me a trip to the chemist!? My biggest regret about my stay is not grabbing the name of the person at reception when I arrived (5:30pm, 14/09). She was personable, authentic and engaging. Employee of the month material. I especially enjoyed her work on a crochet unicorn!!

I totally loved my stay at the Pod Inn!! Pros - Walkable to most major sites. - Short walking distance to groceries, restaurants, and stores - Has a restaurant beside/attached to (?) the hostel - Pods are private and spacious (and I'm a big guy!) Bed was cozy too! - Lights and air conditioning adjustable inside the pods - Place has wifi - Has a charging station for phones inside the pods - Common area has kitchen Cons - Reception is only open during business hours, so might be difficult to contact anyone outside those hours - Luggage locker is outside - Pods not too soundproof Over all I never thought I'd love staying at a pod hotel and I'm very happy that I had a wonderful experience with Pod Inn Launceston!

We stayed at Leisure Inn Pennyroyal for 2 nights this week, in a 2 bedroom apartment. The building is a quaint old English style building, and our apartment was set over 2 levels - living area on 1st level and 2 bedrooms upstairs. The apartment was clean and comfortable, and included reverse cycle aircon/heating in each living area or bedroom. Free wifi is provided which worked well. Free parking is provided in designated spaces. Our room had double glazing which provided both thermal and noise insulation. The apartment is about a 900m walk to downtown, and is a short walk to the river, where it is again a short walk to Cataract Gorge (with lighting at night time). Highly recommend The Gorge restaurant for dinner. The apartment is adjacent to the Pennyroyal Adventures site which has some fun activities such as ziplining and jumping from a cliff. There are also some restaurants and bars nearby. Be aware that the hotel does charge a surcharge for credit card payments, which we avoided by settling our bill by Eftpos Savings at checkin. I’m happy to use a credit card for booking and preauthorisation, but I don’t see any value in paying extra as a means of payment.

Con: I would have given 5 stars except that on Friday night, the last night of a four night stay, we were kept awake until midnight by blaring live music from Mudbar which was on the ground floor below our suite. We were located on Level 2. Even having double white noise playing on our iPhones at full blast didn't drown out the noise. It ruined what had, until then, been a wonderful stay. I know Mudbar is not operated by Peppers Seaport but surely something could be done about the excessive noise. Pros: Wonderful staff from reception to housekeeping. Everyone super friendly and helpful. They should get a pay rise! We were in a Riverview Suite, room 2004. It had a lovely view and a balcony, was spotlessly clean and so spacious with a large living/dining room and a full spacious kitchen minus oven but had a toaster which was great for breakfast. Plenty of storage in the bedroom and the bathroom was really nice. Nicely located for walking around Launceston. The rooms been recently refurbished with new carpet and furniture and it was really comfortable.

We stayed in a family room. 2 adults and 2 kids. The site looks old and dated from the outside, but while the room we had was basic it was a great price, great location and large enough that we weren't tripping over each other. We had a really good trip and this room was perfect to come back to. It had all the facilities we would want, including a microwave etc.
