"I had a really lovely and comfortable stay here. The staff were incredibly kind, friendly and responsive from the very beginning. They kindly accommodated an early check-in for me, which I really appreciated, and although my circumstances changed and I wasn’t able to make use of it as I had originally planned, their flexibility meant a lot. They were also happy to look after my luggage after check-out, which made everything so much easier. The location is fantastic, very central and convenient...

Top Princes Square Hotel Reviews

Hotel Grand Chancellor Launceston

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and staff helpful"

Leisure Inn Penny Royal Hotel & Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely lovely accommodation. Cant wait to come back and stay again"

Change Overnight

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed our stay at Changes. Very central to the city. Plenty of space in the apartment however in a kitchen of that size there were no extra bits and pieces eg salt and pepper, oil, kitchen papers or small dishes. The outlook was great over the city but just be aware that often on the weekend Fri and Sat night that Launceston apparently has an institution called “blockies” where idiots drive continually around the city block revving their engines and being a general nuisance. This went on till 2 am and in conjunction with the music blasting from a nearby club we got little sleep. I personally would stay at this hotel again but never on a weekend night ever!!"

Mantra Charles Hotel Launceston

8/10 Good

"Clean room, pleasant staff, but the fact that the restaurant and bar are closed on weekends (!) knocks this hotel down a rung or two."

Village Family Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and helpful staff Easy parking Huge rooms"

Hideaway on George

10/10 Excellent

"Room and bathroom very clean; clean nice sheets; downtown but away from the street; private, free parking on site."

Mercure Launceston

10/10 Excellent

"A great day. Buffet breakfast was nice. Staff were friendly and helpful."

Peppers Silo Launceston

10/10 Excellent

"great room, so big - would have been nice if it had had a small table and chairs so you didn't have to sit on the bed. and a small couch would have fit in also! you only get a view of the carpark if you don't pay extra for the silo rooms but the size of the room makes up for it. A bit remote from cafes etc so a small microwave would be nice so you could heat your food or drinks when you finally get them back, but there is a cafe in the park next door, open in the morning- fantastic stay"

The Sebel Launceston

10/10 Excellent

"We had a 3 bedroom for a family of 6. Really spacious and clean. Good location. Staff were really helpful - quick check in and helped us change the bedding arrangement in one of our rooms."
