Leisure Inn Penny Royal, Launceston

It was a great place to stay for a decent price. The location was perfect, being a short walk into town and right next to Cataract Gorge. The staff were very lovely at reception. The room was spacious enough for myself, clean, the wifi was very responsive and I appreciated the Smart TV which had YouTube and Netflix on it. There were a couple of issues, there wasn't a lot of natural lighting (window was very small) and the fire alarm went off three times while I stayed for no reason it seemed. But besides that, I would highly recommend!

Our room was directly above the adjoining pubs cooling fridge compressor. We’ve had 24/7 loud ongoing noise from that. Hence the earplugs we found in the room. Rooms are tired, only 1 window opened and the far end of the room smelt mouldy. Aircon was working intermittently also making added noises, complementing the compressor. The site has 2 accommodation sites. One directly by the adventure park and one adjoins a pub and busy road. We were in the latter one. Disappointed considering what we paid. Plus point: great house keeping.

The place is clean, modern, and has a nice vibe. Unfortunately, the noise levels are quite high — you can easily hear showers, flushing, and conversations from other rooms. It’s fine if you don’t mind using earplugs, but if you’re looking for a quiet rest, it might not be the best choice. With better soundproofing, it could be an excellent stay.

Location great. Room was not very nice. Stained lounge, cups for coffee or tea were stained, terrible noise on flushing toilet. Too noisy with party goers milling around the carport making loud, loud noise after 9pm, had previously read management were going to do something about this, obviously it has been ignored. I must say the receptionist was lovely, charming and full of information, she is excellent....(for you J). So no I would not stay there ever again, not worth the nearly $300 for a night.

The Penny Royal Inn was simply incredible. When you walk in and feel that rustic, charming atmosphere that reverberates through the walls, you know that you've made a good choice coming here. We stayed in the George Suite, which was clean, comfortable, historic feeling and overall wonderful. When we went down for dinner, the staff at the inn were incredibly nice and welcoming, and the food was delicious beyond compare. One big plus is that your only about 140m from the Penny Royal adventure park, which is amazing. Overall, this hotel had great rooms, great food and service and a great destination just a short walk away. This motel is a must if you're stopping in Launceston.

Lots of things being done right. Staff are so accommodating. I like their system of messaging customers when the room is ready for check in. Very pretty at night. Just a few things for quality improvement, It can be very noisy from other guests at night. More emphasis on respecting other guests after 9pm would be great. Or perhaps spreading guests out more. I'm not sure if it's a sewage issue or something else, but when I arrived, the room didn't smell fresh, like someone had just gone to the bathroom. The smell lingered the whole stay. (3 nights) Lastly, the shower was very difficult to figure out. Hot and cold water can't be used simultaneously. Turning the cold on turns the hot off. Maybe some signs up for how to work it would be beneficial.

My husband, my sister-in-law, and I spent three days at the hotel, and the experience was wonderful! We arrived late at night, so the reception was already closed, but that wasn’t a problem — there was a lockbox next to the entrance with a code to access an envelope containing all the information, the room key, and the parking card, all clearly explained. I was really happy about that! The room was great, the location was amazing, and we highly recommend this hotel!

A stone and timber, sort of midevil, facade. It photographs nice from the front, pretty beat from the side and back. It's a tour bus motel. Earplugs are provided in the rooms. Nice amenity, but a forewarning of the potential noise level. Although the room was clean, the corriders and elevators were filthy, Clearly they run a lot of people through there. Box continental breakfasts are marginal at best.
