The room was incredible with lots of thoughtful touches from the wonderful staff. The building is stunning and in a fantastic location. Just be aware that it's heritage listed so you can hear other guests (there are signs asking for quiet and ear plugs are provided) and there are a couple of flights of stairs from the carpark to the top floor; people with mobility issues may find it difficult. We loved our stay and would gladly go back!

Reception was very friendly and helpful. Parking was easy. There are a number of steps up to the hotel from parking but there is an entrance on the side where someone could be dropped off/picked up if they couldn't manage the steps. The room was very clean and my bed was very cozy and comfortable. I walked to the park with the monkeys which was very close, then downtown and then to the gorge along the zigzag trail and back which made for a long walk but was doable!

Great historic and lovely view in a magnificent town, Launceston N Central Tasmania. The area is filled with vineyards and top quality restaurants are numerous.

Lovely room, only downside (which is on their website) is that it is upstairs with no lift so as long as you don’t mind carrying luggage up 2 flights you will be fine.
The property is close to town but up a long steep hill so you need to be prepared to walk. There is good parking around and at the property though.

As we were arriving out of hours we were given clear and detailed instructions on how to check in. We appreciated the heater being on in our room, which was very clean. The updated bathroom with a spacious bath was a highlight. Although checking out at 10am we were able to arrange with the helpful receptionist to leave our bags in our room and collect them later on the way to the airport. Would love to stay here again and upgrade to a room with a view of the River.

Waratah is a beautifully renovated historic building located on one the hills in Launceston. The room was large and well apponted. The bathroom is new and spotless. The bed is very comfortable. They do not serve any food so come prepared. There are a number of good cafes and restaurants, however, you need to drive or get an Uber/taxl. Yhe hill is too steep for a comfortable walk. There are numerous steps between the car pak and the front door.

Waratah on York is the perfect place to stay if you like old world charm with the convenience of a contemporary bathroom.
The staff were supper helpful with suggestions on where to find a delicious meal or tourist attractions.
As mentioned in previous reviews, the outside and inside steps may be a challenge for elderly or disabled guests but there are rooms downstairs so be sure to mention any medical conditions on booking and I am sure Pia will be happy to assist you. Memorable stay. Thank you.

A Charming Step Back in Time

Staying at this historical gem near Launceston’s CBD feels like stepping into another era, with its beautifully preserved architecture and timeless charm. The hotel captures the spirit of yesteryear, yet it doesn’t compromise on comfort—clean, modern bathrooms are a refreshing contrast to the vintage atmosphere.

The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to share local tips or ensure your stay is perfect. The location is ideal, especially if you’re a fan of a good workout. Nestled near hilly streets, it’s perfect for early risers looking to wake up their calf muscles while exploring the area.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast or just someone who appreciates a unique stay, this hotel offers the perfect balance of old-world charm and modern convenience. Highly recommend!

A lovely old building. We had the spa bath room. Next time I’ll ditch the bath and ask for a room with a view. Check in person was lovely and competent. Room was clean and nice, not modern but that’s ok we knew that when booking. I would say to anyone who has mobility issues to be aware it is positioned at the top of a steep hill… so if you’re planning to walk to shops etc you will need to have reasonable fitness to get up and down the stairs or pathways.

Unfortunately we were downstairs and could hear people coming and going, plus the people above us walking around.

The property had lots of character and was well maintained. The staff were friendly. The parking was accesible and the views from the terrace were marvellous.

The property was beautiful. Overlooking Launceston. The Receptionist was so lovely and accommodating. Our flight had been delayed and she waited around for us to arrive. Thank you

Great option for one person. Only thing, because it's heritage accommodation, don't expect soundproofing! Other guests can be loud!

Lovely old heritage building, the room was mostly clean and comfortable there seemed to be an issue with cracking and the paint on one wall near the bed (partially hidden by a wardrobe) and quite a few cobwebs on the high ceilings but we booked a special discounted rate so expected a not so perfect room. The shower was one of the best hotel showers I’ve had with plenty of hot water and good strong pressure. There aren’t many parking spots so when it’s busy it could become an issue.

This property is a magnificent, heritage listed building. My room was spacious, had beautiful high ceilings, adjustable heating & a jetted bath. The panel heating was enough to keep the room a comfortable temperature, but there were also electric blankets on the bed if required.
The room was quieter than I expected, given I was on the ground floor with road-facing windows. Very little outside noise was noticeable in the room.
The staff were friendly, helpful & professional.

This location is on a hill, which may be an issue for some. There is a steep option & a 'not quite as steep' option when walking, but personally, I enjoy the steep hill!

All in all, a sensational building in a wonderful location.
