This pub was one of many highlights to my recent trip to Tasmania! Its got a great atmosphere and…read moreis very friendly - so much so, that everyone in there seems to know each other and everyone seems to give everyone else a hug as soon as they come into the building. Its like a lot of Melbourne's pub were about 15 years ago - and I say that in a good way - its just very friendly and unpretentious. The food is good without being excellent, and the drinks are quite cheap - but the atmosphere is the big drawcard. There doesnt seem to be any dress code or any security guards or anything else like that which can cause conflict and the barstaff are really friendly. Looking forward to my next trip to Launceston and the Royal Oak Hotel!

They have a decent location about 10 minutes walk to the city centre. They are situated on the river and are close by Cataract Gorge (DO NOT MISS CATARACT GORGE) The rooms are modern, but the set up is a little awkward (you need your card key twice: First to access the entryway that services two rooms; Second to get into your actual room)-can you imagine my poor neighbours if I had stumbled in drunk? (Oh wait, I DID stumble in drunk-hope I didn't disturb anyone!) The service is personal and very friendly and makes this feel like a small hotel. It is probably the most modern hotel in Launnie and very comfortable so I would highly recommend it if you're visiting the area.

The staff was friendly, professional and extremely helpful with directions and dining suggestions. We dined at the Mud Bar Restaurant attached to the hotel for several of our meals. Given the exemplary service we received and the excellent food we were served, we could have eaten there every day. Servers Peter and Dasha, in particular made each visit a fun and memorable dining experience. We cant wait to return to Tasmania and this great hotel.

Modern décor surrounded our king size bed - much of it exclusive to the hotel (you'll love the window blind!). The ceiling is probably 12ft high, and the ensuite quite roomy. The hotel now has in-room free wi-fi as well as cabled broadband. The lobby and restaurant/lounge are compact, but classy and well looked after by the staff. Hotel Charles is located a short walk South of the CBD on a plot previously part of the Hospital. It shares many of its parking spots with a number of businesses during the day, so there are signs reserving spaces for hotel guests only from 5:30pm to 8:30am. If you can only get one of those spaces when you arrive, the obligation to shift would be a downside of your stay.

The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Would happily stay here again in Launceston. The only downside for this hotel, is its a short walk from the restaurant/cafe part of town. This isn't too much of issue if you are happy with a 10 minute stroll.

Great location, you are close to everything, but feel quite set apart in this quiet little village…read more The bed was comfy and the deluxe room was spacious - with a nice sized desk, fridge, and two couches. Also nice to have a big bathtub and a little brick patio out back to relax in after a long day. There is also a good Indian restaurant, Pickled Evenings, just down the hill near the driveway entrance. If you are coming during the cooler months, do bring a bathrobe and warm pajamas though as the suite can get quite chilly. There is a space heater, but still. Also, I wish there had been an information sheet in the room - I arrived late and so was not able to jump on the wifi until someone could tell me the password the following day. I also did not realize until the end of my stay that the bed had an electric blanket underneath the sheet, which would have been great to know earlier. Breakfast is ok, just some eggs, toast, and cereal - but the view from the dining room is quite lovely.

Bit student vibe at this one if I remember correctly or was it a local pub for local people? Either way Tasmanian's are refreshingly friendly and quite quick to get into a conversation with. I mean what more could you want for then a good chat with a few locals over some cheap drinks. I can't remember clearly whether this was the pub I was too terrified to drink in or not, all I have is that 3$ stubbies pic so I'm going to assume it was awesome and we'll let the next unfortunate yelper determine whether or not they escape with their life. Good Luck
