“Fair”
19 Jan 2025
The accommodation is affordable and beds pretty comfortable. The rooms are a good size. Street parking is available if you are careful to take note of the parking restrictions that apply.

“Lovely spacious old mansion!”
18 Jan 2025
Loved how spacious the hostel was! Tons of space for chilling out. It’s a big old mansion, so that was nice.

“Backpackers paradise if you want to meet people.”
14 Jan 2025
Massive kitchen with all the facilities you need - amazing! Big communal room to chill/work/chat. Good outdoor area. Good shower & toilets.

“just what we needed”
09 Jan 2025
Friendly staff, had everything we needed, clean, basic - free parking - lots of space in the room

“Very good”
03 Jan 2025
Classic hostel with a good vibe and great kitchen facilities. Nice flexible staff meant when we turned up a bit early we were allowed to check in as the room was ready no stress. We were also upgraded to a room with an ensuite, definitely more value for your money compared to two other places we stayed in Launceston!

“Backpackers in historic building.”

Good location across from a park and close to the city. Beds are nice and firm. Staff were helpful when I arrived late. Everyone is quiet and respectful. It is really reasonably priced so for the price it is fine.

“Good for a short stop over.”

It is a great location, beds were comfy and clean room are nice and warm. Toilets, kitchen and other facilities were very clean and tidy

“Excellent value for money”

We've stayed here a few times. It is excellent value. It is a backpackers, however the private rooms with ensuite are all you need for a weekend getaway.
