很棒很舒适
Pros:

很棒的酒店，风景很棒 能看到整个朗赛斯顿的风光， 房间内的设施也不错 床很大，浴室里还有配备浴帽卸妆水肥皂，毛巾也是管够，每天早上还有房间清洁。 唯一的缺点可能就是去酒店要爬一段坡，不过这也代表酒店位置很高 看的风景更好一点。

Cons:

如果能有自动售货机或者类似的无人便利店之类的就好了 因为附件真的没有任何超市和餐厅，想吃点啥或者买点东西都要出门爬坡，朗赛斯顿外卖也没啥种类只能点麦当劳之类的。如果能有个自动售货机能让我买点零食饮料啥的就好了。

Excellent Hotel, Great location
Pros:

The room was very clean, plenty of space, good bed and excellent view over the city and surrounds. Good for walking to city centre. Great location for basing yourself to travel around the greater area, able to avoid busy centre of when travelling by car if you wish.

Cons:

The way the shower is designed is not very good allowing water to wet a lot of the bathroom.

We loved our stay and would stay again. Friendly reception, clean and comfy room with a view
Pros:

Amazing view from the room over Launceston parks, river and towards the football stadium. Modern bathroom, comfy bedding. Liked the concept of asking for room to be serviced (which was on offer daily), as we are happy to reuse towels and just don't need it serviced every single day.

Cons:

Very little. Hotel is on a serious hill which would be challenging to some, but we enjoyed the benefits of the view. The toilet seat in the bathroom needs to be tightened (minor maintenance).
