She crackles and moans, but so much character. The main bed was so comfortable. The washer and dryer on the rear balcony a bonus. Nice gas fire too. Close to beautiful city park and short walk to the town centre. Would stay there any time I visited Launceston.

Everything looked just great until we…read moreturned on the heating ... barely warm, which was not good in Launceston's very cold winter period. Reported to the front desk and although they tried everything to get some heat going, the recently installed unit was not co-operating. Extra blankets and a couple of portable fan heaters did take the edge off the chill, but we were still quite cold. They did their best and it's a shame that this rather spoilt our stay. The room itself is quite spacious and well equipped. Very comfy bed, large modern bathroom with oodles of lovely hot water and a nice quiet area of town. Let's hope this problem is sorted before the next guests arrive.

Modern décor surrounded our king size bed - much of it exclusive to the hotel (you'll love the window blind!). The ceiling is probably 12ft high, and the ensuite quite roomy. The hotel now has in-room free wi-fi as well as cabled broadband. The lobby and restaurant/lounge are compact, but classy and well looked after by the staff. Hotel Charles is located a short walk South of the CBD on a plot previously part of the Hospital. It shares many of its parking spots with a number of businesses during the day, so there are signs reserving spaces for hotel guests only from 5:30pm to 8:30am. If you can only get one of those spaces when you arrive, the obligation to shift would be a downside of your stay.

The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Would happily stay here again in Launceston. The only downside for this hotel, is its a short walk from the restaurant/cafe part of town.
