Mercure Hotels in Launceston

I had to overnight in Launceston, leaving early the next morning. Thought the Pod Inn proved just about perfect for my needs, starting with the very reasonable tariff. It was my first stay in a pod and possibly won't be my last, though I think staying more than two days would test the friendship. My sleep quality was great but I could imagine things could get a bit claustrophobic after a couple of nights. Otherwise, check-in was good, everything well explained. Pod itself was lockable, comfy, roomy for one and I loved the lighting options. Noise wasn't a problem, though maybe I was lucky on that count. The kitchen was clean if a little small while the common room/dining area more spacious. Common bathroom was clean when I visited but could imagine it becoming pretty grungy. The showers were really good, though. Towels supplied but not soap (or shampoo etc).

Best Western Launceston is a basic, but clean, safe, comfortable well-priced hotel in the centre of Launceston. It's well positioned for the Botanic Gardens and monkey enclosure, right in the centre of the city, and not too far from the river. The room had everything you'd need, or expect, for this price. But what raised the place for me was the service. On a badly delayed flight I didn't arrive until after midnight, but the night manger appeared swiftly, helped me check in, and never once complained about being dragged to the front desk in the middle of the night.

We stayed here in September 2022 and just loved our visit. The hotel was exceptionally vibrant, clean, modern, well located and had brilliant service. The rooms are very comfortable with big areas around beds with room to move and put belongings and the bathrooms were very clean and modern. The staff were always helpful and friendly and the hotel was very well located within easy walking distance of downtown areas. We especially loved the beautiful foyer area and accessible bar and restaurant areas. Would definitely recommend.

It's an old hotel with a good location, but the hotel facilities are old, the soundproofing of the room is poor, and the bath towels don't look clean, so I asked for them to be changed. Service attitude was average, the older woman at the front desk was a bit arrogant.

Very minimal, shabby rooms of doubtful cleanliness, at maximal expense. Explicitly states that no service is offered, so to that extent at least the management is honest! But if you are staying two nights or more, you only get one night's worth of tea/coffee/milk/towels etc, even though you are paying for these items in the room charge. We had booked and paid for two rooms, but when I arrived the receptionist rudely said I could not check in 'because I did not have the same name as the person who booked', and I would jolly well have to wait until the person who booked arrived. (Actually, the person who booked was my daughter-in-law.) This is an extremely rude, discriminatory, and just plain stupid thing to say. For example, a husband and wife could have different names, and arrive separately. Also, I arrived at 3 pm, but what if my daughter-in-law arrived at 10 pm? The polite thing to do would be for the receptionist simply to ask if she could have a word with my daughter-in-law on the phone, or see a text message. Another point: the rudest, most aggressive utterance in the 'hospitality' industry is 'Can I help you?' spoken loudly through gritted teeth and rictus smile. The receptionist really ought to book a course at charm school. If - despite all - you are thinking of staying here, keep in mind that it is a very steep, long walk down to the city centre - and back up. The Coach House is not suitable for children, as the upper storey concrete walkways and steps are extremely dangerous for toddlers.

It's not in the city center, but it's only a few minutes' walk away. One of the important reasons for choosing it is that it has a parking lot for easy parking. The hotel is quaint and was renovated from an old house. The corridors are full of artworks. It seems to be the property of an Argentinian artist owner. . It's because of the old house, so the room is relatively small.

I needed a bed, close to LGH, that wasn't going to cost me too much. The Centennial was a good choice. Location is two blocks from the hospital. Room was clean, had good facilities and big enough for two people for a few days. Bed comfy and I slept soundly. WiFi good and free. Parking on site. Hotel has a very cosy, grill style restaurant and there's a pizzaria next door. Coles supermarket actiss the road. Excellent location for my needs. No air-conditioning and a quiet fridge, just perfect for sleeping soundly. My room fronted the main, 3 lane road into Launceston but the traffic was minimal to zero after 10pm on a Friday night. I slept with the window open all night and enjoyed the warm, Autumn breeze. Check in easy, friendly and informative. For the price, a top spot.

Very nice staff and it is clean and comfortable. Every time when we come back, we can feel very relaxed. Outside is cold but our place is warm and we can have very relaxing hot shower. There is free internet and there are many T V channels and movies to see. I can keep in touch with my family overseas. Kids and I can enjoy movies together. The location is very good. It is in the city and very convenient to take public transport or visit tourist information centre to join tours. There are lots of warehouses, department stores, shops, cafe or restaurants around. I recommend anyone to stay at Launceston Central Apartment Hotel.

Our room was at the front of hotel overlooking City Park (top of Brisbane St) and we stayed for four nights. Be mindful when booking that there’s also rooms behind car park that don’t look as appealing (maybe these are cheaper). Free ample car parking behind & beside which can get quite busy on a weekend. Easy walking distance into CBD & mall (10-15mins), made even more pleasant if you go through the park which is just beautiful (& has a conservatory full of ferns & orchids plus a snow monkey enclosure- all free). Great room with a very comfortable king size bed and extra pillows in wardrobe. Nicely renovated bathroom with fantastic shower, though lighting in room to put on makeup etc has a bit to be desired. The room had a desk and a very comfortable recliner and footstool that was great to sit in and admire the views from the huge window. Ironing board & iron in cupboard. Bar fridge stocked with stuff that never got very cold but was sufficient for storing some extra items of ours. Housekeeping made up room every day and only left extra towels etc when they thought were required which was fine by us. We never ate in the restaurant but had a drink there one night, which was pleasant but they seem to close quite early (8.30-9pm). There was some confusion with our booking on check in (& frustratingly that continued over our stay) due to us booking through ************** and then having to move the booking by a day due to cancelled flights. Despite this & the fact we kept getting our room card cancelled it really didn’t taint the end experience as the rate, location, free parking and room made up for it. Yes, we’d stay here again.
