Star Bar Cafe & Hotel Reviews

Clean room, comfortable bed, convenient location. Band on a Friday night, not that loud and finished by 10pm.

Great location.

As a solo traveller just spending one night in Launceston, The Star Hotel was the ideal choice. It is centrally located and street parking was easy to find and free between 17.30 and 09.00 next day. The room itself was compact but comfortable with an ensuite. The friendly, efficient female staff member was able to help with local advice and when I decided to have dinner later, the food and service were exceptional. Three see a couple of stair cases to negotiate but really no trouble. This place was a highlight of my travel in Tasmania.

Great place

Very good, complete facilities, clean environment

It is not recommended to stay. The hotel facilities are old and look like a small hotel in the suburbs of an American movie. There are no windows. There is a restaurant downstairs and there are even parties that are very noisy. The main reason is that the price is not low. The only advantage is that it is located close to the bus transfer center.

The only window was on to a corridor - fortunately there was a curtain! The bed was rock hard. You couldn’t have the ceiling fan on unless the light was also on - you could turn the light off for a minute, and then it just came back on! To top it all, there was no hot water. The only saving grace was the friendly and helpful bar staff. Avoid if possible.

Lovely vegetarian dinner. Highly recommend the Eggplant Parmigiana, seasonal veg, creamy mask and Arancini Balls. Excellent friendly service and atmosphere. Enjoyed the live music while eating dinner. Walking distance from our hotel.

This restaurant provided an excellent meal and great service. We were somewhat doubtful about the venue with a large bar area. However, the bartender told us that the dining section would be vey quiet until much later at night. He was correct. The seafood dishes we chose were both delicious, as were the desserts. There was a good choice of wines by the glass at very reasonable prices. The staff were both friendly and professional. Do not be put off by the somewhat functional ambiance. You will enjoy a great meal at this venue.

Love this place. Only an overnighter between flights but sooo welcoming and the meal excellent too. I thought that sentence succinct and to the point but told 200 letters minimum. Here goes. Staff great. Had the double cooked pork belly yum

Very good customer service from all staff , friendly, helpful, happy!! Jack and Belinda were very helpful ! Excellent steak ! Cold beer!! kindly allowed me to park my motorcycle undercover and safe ! Well equipped clean and well presented room ! Well run pub and accommodation!

Took a while to find somewhere open on Easter Saturday Lovely fresh food and delightful staff. A pizza, a caesar salad and four drinks for $61.00. Dinner for two and very tasty. Thank you. Highly recommend if you are in Launceston. Great atmosphere with a lovely fireplace.

Ordered a pumpkin and haloumi salad and salt and pepper squid with a side of veg. Only 1 other table in the restaurant when we ordered. 1/2 am hour later we receiced the salad with no pumpkin and the squid Without salt and pepper, cooked in cold oil. The veg was a small side of cauliflower, a few slices of carrot and 2 cubes of pumpkin. One of us is not well today despite only eating one piece of squid. Recommend not eating there until they find a new chef.

Great service by barman but girls came on at 5 on Valentine’s Day were ordinary to say the least. Service was below average. Advertised happy hour and made sure we had drinks 2 minutes before (charged full price) but didn’t see them again until we left “thirsty. Make sure you go when friendly day time staff are on.
