A new hotel located in a refurbished former grain silo near the river in Launceston, Tasmania.
While we only stayed 1 night, I was wishing for a longer stay given the friendly staff, fantastic breakfast and clever, unique room.
We were in a deluxe king, 710 which was such a cool room. Each of the former grain silo towers has been split in Half to form two very large rooms with curved concrete walls. They've also cut windows into the side with a beautiful view of the Tamar river. We enjoyed watching all tHe rowing club boats going past eArly in the day. Opposite the silo rooms is a standard wing with more traditional shaped rooms.
Opened only since mid 2018, it stills feel new and certainly has all that you want as it relates to features like bedside power/USB ports, modern rain shower shower head, modern furnishings, comfy bed and pillows (sleep great!) lots of space and more. There's an on-site bar as well as a nice restaurant. Just off the lobby there's a beautiful crushed gravel walking track for short or long walks. It's even possible to follow it all the way to cataract gorge-45 min each way.
I was also very impressed by the friendly service at the Front desk and restaurant. Speaking of food, the breakfast buffet is very substantial with cook to order eggs and pAncakes and much more. If you book breakfast when you check in it's only $AUD 22 vs 29 day of at the restaurant and well worth the price.
Finally, the hotel has a resident black lab named Archy-and you can take him for walKs if you are missing your own pooch.
Bottom line-it's all good. Highly recommended.
