Art Hotel has a truly lovely ambience and a charming personal touch. The location is great and on the outskirts or walking distance to the cbd. And, there’s a good Cafe on the corner which does pastries on a Saturday! This hotel was so reasonable, even when I required a room upgrade for a remote worker to have privacy, it was no trouble when discussed, and the rate given was very fair for what we got finally.

Parking can be difficult if you have a larger car (suv?) but there is another carpark round the back, in a parallel street and you cut through the hotel to your room, so as long as you know this, it’s still fine. Also beware getting large suitcases (like I had) in the upstairs rooms, if that’s where you’re located. It’s a tough job, if you’re on your own with no muscle!

Close to city centre, on-site parking is available at the front and rear of building.

One of the receptionist staff that was working during the earlier shift made a mistake and checked someone into our room. As a result, when we arrived around 5pm, we had to wait for about 30-45mins for this to be solved and for the room to be ready again. The male receptionist that was on duty when we checked in helped to rectify the problem. We were honestly super tired by the time we arrived in the evening and just wanted to have a rest but mistakes do happen and at least the receptionist that attended to us was nice and he really tried his best to fix the problem for us.

Beautiful feel to the room (which was enormous)... old house with tons of character. The room with a poster bed was AMAZING! Although you kind of need to jump up into bed, it was fantastic. Location was close to town but there was no traffic noise, and parking was abundant. Your hosts are friendly and approachable, and for the most part, I couldn't ask for more ... except maybe an elevator for my wife's luggage lol

The ONLY irritant was the tv ... big and modern, but very bad digital reception meant most channels were almost unwatchable. The TV seemed to be a smart one, but the functions didn't really seem to work.

Charming old world boutique accomodation close to the city. Amazing 4 poster bed in an upgraded room. Light filled enclosed external verandah roadside ideal for meals or relaxing.

Without any external air flow the room was stuffy on a warm summer night. The air conditioner was probably more suitable for keeping the room warm on winter nights than cool on summer. Television did not have access to anything other than local tv. Very limited. Some grout missing from the floor in the entrance to ensuite was uncomfortable underfoot.

We loved this hotel and our short stay here in Launceston. It is very centrally located to Cataract Gorge, Penny Royal Adventures and the city centre in general. Parking a car here is easy and driving around from this hotel is just as easy. The room we stayed in was "The Stable" which was such a pleasant, well sized room with all the amenities you need. The biggest win for us that pushed this into 5 Star territory was the staff. The owners of this hotel are so friendly, thoughtful and accommodating, they really made you feel at home.

The only thing we didn't like, and it wasn't at the fault of the hotel, was you could hear the traffic driving by. Thankfully it isn't all day or night, and only was noticeable during rush hour and on Friday night.

Lovely old hotel, great art work on the walls. My room was a good size and ensuite was very clean. All mod cons required in room. Quiet, part from some road noise but overnight it was very quiet. Good block out drapes, so nice and dark at night. Great location, parking available.

Bed was a little hard, fridge was old, very small and a bit noisy, door on shower had no handle on the inside so if a person is short they may have trouble closing the door. Standard size hotel room cups, mugs would be better.

We had a lovely large room, beautifully furnished in Victorian style and very comfortable. The hotel was close to cataract gorge and easy to find. Plenty of parking and good bathroom too.

We arrived late afternoon on Sunday and reception was closed. Didn’t see a soul and had to ring after hours number to find key etc. Phone call was very helpful, but seemed a bit weird! Our room was up a couple of flights of stairs too, which we didn’t mind but some might find difficult.

The room was good, and though the hotel is on the junction of a busy road, the room (I had one overlooking the top car park) was remarkably quiet . The owners were very friendly and went out of their way to ensure everything was OK. There is actually quite a lot of parking spaces in two areas of the hotel. So unless they are very busy, you should be OK.

Their restuarent was out of action, flood damage, so no continental breakfast was available. There are a few cafes close by, but I think it would have added something more to my stay than just a place to sleep if the restaurant had been available for breakfast. Hopefully the restuarent will be open soon.

My husband and I only stayed for one night but wished it had been more. We received a very warm welcome when we checked in and was given some tips for places to eat. The hotel is filled with so much history from a bygone era, just fabulous to look at. Our Room was very clean and had a lovely romantic feel having a four poster bed. Just a little comment if you are a light sleeper maybe don’t get Room 6 as it is at top of stairs where other guests enter and exit and we could clearly hear guests right outside our door when checking out early next morning. Also room faces York Street which was very busy with car and truck noise. Otherwise a very pleasant stay at The York Hotel.

It is my go to place to stay in Tassie. I am particularly happy that it is sooo clean. The location suits my needs and after a number of stays I can navigate my way from there to where I need to go. It is comfortable and has all the facilities I need. T

The foyer lights being on and shining through the gaps in the door. I had to cover the bck of the door woth clothes. Only a minor issue.
