Best Western Plus Launceston

“We're always happy to stay here”

Although not a very regular visitor to Launceston I have to say that over the years that I have visited I have always stayed at the Best Western, even when I look at booking somewhere else 'just for a change' I still get drawn back to this hotel. Always a good room rate available with or without breakfast included compared to quite a few other options and such a convenient central CBD location everything is so accessible no need to drive anywhere unless you're heading out of the city. Used the BW as our base for visiting both QVMAG locations, Cataract Gorge, the cinema, historical city walk and many, many restaurants. Rooms are spacious with standard fittings and included handy bedside lights with built in USB ports. Given it's age and that it's probably a few years since any major renos the room was a bit worn in places like paint chips around bathroom door frame, general ageing and wear and tear you might expect from a well used large hotel. But we're not exactly talking 5-7 stars pricing and I was very happy with the room overall. My only complaint would be that the tea/coffe supplies in the room didn't offer much variety and what was supplied looked a bit 'minimal', there was a Nespresso machine though at no extra cost. The hotel does have its own bar/restaurant 'The Tram Bar' which I have reviewed separately and also has a separate dining room for breakfast. Breakfast was good with a generous hot buffet and cold/continetal option too plus fresh fruit and a great self serve automatic coffee machine. Paking is to the side and rear of the hotel it is a public 'pay & display' carpark but a voucher/pass is available for in house guests to display, although still not free parking the charge was $6 per day during our stay. It's not a huge space and has a lower and upper level but have never had an issue getting a space. Overall I'm sure I'll stay here again at some point and would recommend, all the staff we met from the begining to end of our 4 night stay were friendly and helpful.

“Sad Face!”

Bed was comfortable, and thats it. Room was not great, towel rack broken, paint chipped off everywhere, dusty everywhere, TV not working, forgot to clean room, lift not working. Not impressed! Restaurant staff however, were lovely and food was great. Quite disappointing.

The domestic aircon did little to cool down rooms.
