Extraordinary location, must be the best in Launceston. It was like staying in Rapunzels' tower, with a view of the towering stone cliff behind and over the town in front with the Gorge a few minutes away. Take advantage of the cheap motel prices and go for a 1 bedroom tower apartment.

Poor fit out, everything looks awkward and poorly designed. No spare towels - staff did provide them when I asked though.

The location is very good, just minutes away from the gorge. The triple room is very spacious. The hotel/ apt is a historic building. It was us pleasant experience to stay in this 19th century building.

It was a great hotel and I definitely recommend it! It looked really nice from the outside with a old style and it was perfectly maintained with a new style inside. Great location next to the river, gorge and walking distance to town. The staff was really nice and helpful as well.

Fantastic location for walks to Cataract Gorge and around. Loved the authentic olde world setup. Friendly accommodating staff.

Shower head a bit too rustic kept falling down and scolded turning off. Traffic noise intrusive but overall minor gripes in an otherwise very enjoyable stay.

The beautiful buildings and close location to Launceston sights. Great check in and check out process.

The blinds - it would be great to have black out curtains on the rooms facing street lights. It felt a little like it was day light all night. But apart from that it was great!

I really liked the decor and design of the room and the bathroom which were very clean and modern. The extras like the soap and complimentary quality toiletries were great in the pump action bottles thoughtfully mounted on the walls. I just love staying there and will do so again when we visit Tassie.

First impressions: how beautiful, on checking in which was really pleasant and helpful, on entering the room all I can say is that it was just spotless and all you could want. Lovely housekeeping staff always will to help if they could.

I would have like to have a cafe there for breakfast, plus have Wi Fi there at no extra cost. apart from that nothing else.

Loved the convenience of being so close to the city centre and yet also close to the river and beautiful gorge. Having the kitchen in the unit was also very handy as we had teenagers to feed. The history of the Penny Royal added to its charm. Staff were friendly and helpful - they replaced a faulty bar fridge quickly once reported.

Clean & comfortable with all the basic necessities.

I was very surprised at the standard of this accommodation for money. Don't be put off by the lower price. Rooms were pleasing - clean, new bedding, modern luxurious bathroom, blended with a nice old world feel, making it less sterile than others. No worn out feel about this place, either. Will book again when next in Launceston. Shuttle to airport was prompt and fast.

Restaurant and bar is no longer operational. There are many close by however, so was not a big problem.

Liked the situation, the appearance, staff were friendly; cleaners excellent. Location perfect.

Hotel to offer more convenience items- coffee shop/cafe- know can walk but when you first arrive not sure of bearings. Instant coffee in room is not to every ones taste... Bottled water would also have been nice if only for first day. We found the rooms a little noisy, but then we do live in the countryside- no cars, bikes etc

The rooms were very good. The olde-worlde feel of the timber beams and the heavy doors was memorable and kind of cool.

The lady checking us in was very bossy and seemed stressed by the fact that our booking was for a party of 5 instead of 4 (we did it online and all was accepted there).
