Hotel Waratah On York (Launceston, Australia)

Guests enjoy this historic hotel’s location, noting that it is a short trip downhill to the town centre. The hotel overlooks Launceston City Park, too, which can be reached in only a brief walk.

Guests describe the rooms as spacious and comfortable. They enjoy their size and find the accommodations to be fantastic in this respect, even if you are travelling with multiple adults in tow.

The beds generally get a “thumbs up” from guests that stay at this location. The beds are soft while still providing enough support, and the pillows haven’t received any substantial negative reviews. The inclusion of delightful four poster beds also receives specific shout outs from the guests.

Guests say the hotel could use a new coat of paint. The interior is outdated in design and, in their estimation, could use some renovations. While part of the hotel is in an admittedly historic location, this doesn’t change their opinion that some work should be performed in short order.

The Wi-Fi Internet access at this destination is not complimentary. Many guests believe it should be free as an included, standard amenity, and have expressly stated their distaste of this additional charge on their room bill. They consider it an unfortunate expense that takes away from the rest of their travel budget.

The tea and coffee facilities are reportedly lacking. Guests say that the selection and presentation is minimal, and that the quality of the included teas and coffees appears to be cheap.
