There was no AC and we boiled even with the window partly opened. It was a terrible nights sleep. There also seemed to be quite a delay in communications via Expedia & we were on a tight time line/needed to sort luggage weight prior to an early morning flight.

Beautiful old building, but room was a disappointment for the price. Bathroom was clean but very dated probably 1980's. Did not receive text about access or breakfast times but i had trouble with i messages at the time. Breakfast was good and breakfast server was very accommodating when I wanted breakfast early. Bed was very comfortable but light coming through the blind helped me get a bad nights sleep. Being Launceston one would expect a heater in the bathroom but there wasn't one. No information in the room on how to operate the heater or breakfast times etc. Overheard a guest saying heater didn't work until I told them about the switches inside. Overall a bit disappointed at this premium price point.

Beautiful place to stay in Launceston. Room was clean and very well maintained. Morning breakfast was excellent. Launceston is quite hilly and this is right at the top as the name suggests, but very convenient to the city. 5 star
