They kindly accommodated an early check-in for me, which I really appreciated, and although my circumstances changed and I wasn’t able to make use of it as I had originally planned, their flexibility meant a lot. They were also happy to look after my luggage after check-out, which made everything so much easier. The location is fantastic, very central and convenient...

Top Launceston Hotel Reviews

Leisure Inn Penny Royal Hotel & Apartments

8/10 Good

"I was attracted to this property because of the adventure park right at the back. We were given the best room directly adjoining it. The room itself was interesting - the toilet was in one cubicle on the right side of the entry door and the shower was on the other side. Inside it was nothing but a hook. There were no towel rails for the shower. The only kitchen appliance was the jug. There was a small half length hanging space inside the cupboard next to the tea making. It was all very quaint. The staff were wonderful, very helpful. The outside of the apartments is so picturesque. The location is right near the walk to Cataract Gorge. Lovely restaurant right across the road. We also easily walked along the boardwalk. Brady's Tavern is at the back of the adventure park for another alternative. Was worried about the noise from the massive waterfall in the adventure park, and the ear plugs on the bedside table, but noise did not keep us awake. Small room, but functional. Enjoyed our stay."
