No issues with after hours check-in and the staff was super friendly when I called to request the late check-in. Very clean room, Nespresso coffee machine with complimentary pods, tea, instant coffee, and everything you really need for short stay. Off-site parking available as well.

Launceston Central Apartment Hotel
Room is spacious and has good amenities, including big TV with Foxtel subscription, good fridge, and bathtub. The only thing they should improve is putting better toiletries for guests to use. Property itself is a bit old / aged, especially the lift / elevator. Location is very central to Launceston ...
