Auldington Hotel

My experience is good. The building is a really old building. But the rooms are significantly renovated. I think it would be nice to have a front side room with balcony. You can see a good city view from the balcony. There service is good but limited number of staff available. There are no late check in available. So make sure to get there before the staff sign off. There are enough onsite parking available. Good for short stays. While checking in, they keep your bank card details and deduct some amount if you damage the property or items. Better to read the form before you sign it.

We only stayed one night but we enjoyed James’ warm welcome, the beautiful rose garden, the spacious room with all necessary amenities, and most of all the lovely deep bath. The building is cute and the rooms are clean. There’s also communal lounge areas and a balcony with a lovely view over Launceston. James runs the joint solo - hasn’t had a day off in many months! - and was very mindful to let us know in advance multiple times that we needed to check in before 7pm - we appreciated the clear communication. :)

For the price the rooms are well appointed. They have all you need. Comfortable bed and clean. Sadly because it’s on a hill, we could hear the hoons driving up and down the streets in their noisy cars at night. Not the hotels fault tho! The lift was great, hurt my knee so it was needed. I’ve stayed in many places for work in the last 17 years, small things like drinkable coffee and a shower you don’t have to run around in to get wet mean a lot! Even the ice was fresh. Great views from our room too. Can’t fault it. But I do like fresh milk, not the horrible little long life sachets.

A little spartan but quiet, safe and an easy walk into town and to the Cataract Gorge. On site parking. Nice sized room with a fridge and kettle. A decent choice and reasonable price.

If you enjoy arriving at a hotel only to find the doors locked, no staff in sight, and your “welcome” message sent 30 minutes before closing time, then this is the perfect place for you! Late check-in? Don’t even think about it. Unless, of course, you’re willing to pay a special “call-out fee”, because nothing says hospitality like charging extra instead of simply helping a stranded guest. I especially appreciated being left outside in the rain, marked as a “no-show,” and still charged in full. Truly a masterclass in customer care, if the goal is to ensure guests never return. Congratulations to the management, particularly the manager himself: you’ve managed to turn one booking into a lifetime commitment… to never book here again.

Checked in today , great balcony view, no available..spacious room, clean environment, check in is at 2 pm and checkout at 10 am which is bit early.. highly recommended .. James is great person we met at the reception . Helps and guides so well .

We checked in at 6 something in the evening . No on-duty staff after 7pm . One of the towels is sting . There was an unknown insect on the bed . We couldn’t contact any staff in the hotel . We left the hotel at 11:30pm that night . It’s raining . We sent messages to the hotel the next day . We couldn’t get the response after we replied them . Definitely won’t book that hotel again .

We stayed at this hotel in West Launceston, Tasmania last week and, unfortunately, had a very unpleasant experience from the moment we arrived. The staff, especially the lady on the Reception was quite rude and unwelcoming, which set a negative tone for the rest of our stay. Upon entering the room, we noticed a musty, damp smell in the air, and the atmosphere felt stuffy and unclean. Things only got worse when I went to wash my hands and discovered that the towels in the bathroom smelled old and musty—definitely not fresh or clean. It was obvious they had not been properly laundered, as they lacked any scent of detergent or cleanliness. When I called reception to raise my concerns, instead of being understanding, they responded in a very condescending and dismissive manner, saying they would first need to come and inspect the towels themselves. After doing so, they admitted the towels looked the way they always do and offered to replace them—but made it clear that the replacements would be in similar condition. This response was both frustrating and upsetting. Additionally, we had booked a room for four people, but when we arrived, we found only one double bed and a sofa bed—not a proper bed as expected. We were so dissatisfied with the condition of the room and the poor customer service that, despite having paid for two nights, we decided to leave after just one night and checked into another hotel. I would strongly advise others to look elsewhere. This was a deeply disappointing experience and I absolutely do not recommend staying here.

Stayed in this beautiful heritage property for one night. Everything looked just great until we turned on the heating ... barely warm, which was not good in Launceston's very cold winter period. Reported to the front desk and although they tried everything to get some heat going, the recently installed unit was not co-operating. Extra blankets and a couple of portable fan heaters did take the edge off the chill, but we were still quite cold. They did their best and it's a shame that this rather spoilt our stay. The room itself is quite spacious and well equipped. Very comfy bed, large modern bathroom with oodles of lovely hot water and a nice quiet area of town. Let's hope this problem is sorted before the next guests arrive.
