Guest Reviews
Historic feel and clean. Also great value for money.
Plenty of stairs however, it was expected.
Such a lovely hotel, elegant and welcoming. All staff encountered were very helpful and friendly.
There was nothing I didnt like.
It is a beautiful, charming and well maintained old building and the receptionist was frendly and helpful. The location is convenient and made walking to restaurants and attractions easy, but as warned it is on a steep hill and has a number of steps then stairs to our room.
Unfortunately our room was facing a busy and noisy road, making our room less than cosy. The bed was quite firm and didnlt make for a good nights sleep. The rainwater shower head was underwhelming. The room lacked a microwave which is a necessity imo but ths was as advertised so I can't really complain.
On the inside, Waratah on York is impeccably old fashioned and freshly painted in heritage colours. Our room was very large, furnished with nice period pieces and appropriately modern in the bathroom. The enclosed balcony is nice with extensive views over Launceston. We did get a nice reception from Chloe on arrival.
Somehow the exterior of Waratah on York doesn’t match the grandeur of the interior; the ‘scaffolding’ on the entrance steps really detracts. It’s rather a trek in and out of Waratah on York with luggage, car parking is dispersed and on a steep hill. The bathroom really needs a hand held shower. The room was very hot on arrival; the curtains and blinds should be closed by the cleaners so that the room is at a better temperature when entering.
It would have been nice to stay longer but was just a stop over for 1 night. So clean with very comfy beds.
Period style accomodation.

the stairs to get yo the front door ridiculous!
The rooms were spacious, clean and welcoming
Located on a steep hill, staircases to both parking areas and upper level rooms, no lift, not easily accessible for people with mobility issues
Good size bedroom. Excellent bathroom.
They didn’t give me a code for after hours access. Had the instructions but not the code. Nor the help number which I got from another guest so all was fine in the end.
Loved the heritage style property.
Great location, friendly staff.
Clean, comfortable room in heritage style with modern bathroom. Nice fluffy towels.
The room was large and very comfortable. The bathroom was well appointed and very clean. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding clean, warm and comfy. The stairs were steep but we were given adequate warning so we coped well. The manageress was very helpful and carried our backup the car park steps at a run !
The window was held open with a piece of wood which was not the best look. It was difficult to fill the jug in the sink though a jug was supplied for the purpose. These are two very minor matters and in no way interfered with the enjoyment of our stay.
The room was good
Would have liked breakfast to be included and a microwave
Beautiful old building
Great location
It was a beautiful room and very comfortable
We were on the ground floor so it was noisy sometimes as people walk past
