The most amazing property, great room, clean & spacious. Great bed, slept like babies. The owners Linda & Andrea were fabulous. Warm welcoming & gave great advice for the area. We would definitely like to return if we visit the Southern Hemisphere again.

Hotel Grand Chancellor Launceston
The city Park was close by and the QVMuseum not far by foot. I did not use the wifi as my security advised it was not safe! Our breakfast was not on our bill but I told the staff member we just had breakfast, so he added it. I appreciate it was busy. Loved the hotel.

The Art Hotel surprised us. It worked out well for our trip. It was next to the Catholic church, which was important for the lenten season and it surprised us. It was on a busy street, but very walkable, markets, the gorge, restaurants and downtown. It has a short check-in time which surprised us ...
