What guests think

Art Hotel on York is a quirky, heritage-style stay in Launceston with clean, comfortable rooms and friendly service, walkable to the CBD and dining, though some guests note small bathrooms, traffic noise in certain rooms, and limited reception hours.

Many reviewers praise the building’s character, eclectic art, and convenient on-site parking. Room sizes vary, and upstairs access via multiple stairways can be challenging as there is no lift. On-site dining is limited at times, so most guests eat at nearby cafes and restaurants. Expect a charming, good-value base close to town with a few quirks.

Found this hotel last minute. Old style hotel with old fashioned service. The lady who checked us in was very friendly and very helpful. We had a courtyard room and were able to access the carpark easily to bring our bags in through the courtyard doors. Table and chairs in the courtyard for use to sit and have a quiet drink and plan your day/afternoon. Restaurants and pubs within walking distance. It was an easy 10min walk into the centre of Launceston. Rooms were clean and tidy and the bed was comfortable. Bathrooms are a little small if you compared to more modern hotels due to the age and design of the building, but it was easily manageable for my partner and I. We would definitely stay here again.

A quirky heritage buiIt looks better inside than from the outside. The building has been updated for more modern times. Be wared though there are lots of different stairways to rooms so if you have lots of luggage or trouble climbing them it may not be suitable for your accomodation.Very convient location within walking distance to CBD area. Has reasonable amount of free parking on site. A varitey of rooms. Our room was a queen with ensuite. Nicely decorated in modern period fixtures and drapes. The bed was comfortable and warm. Bathroom funtional and nice hot shower. Plently of mirrors. It had a mini bar and small fridge. We had a balcony room but it could not be accessed which was a pitty. Also if there was and emergency it could have been used as emergency access point if needed. There was some street noise and especially earlier on in the night with a bit of local hooning a street away. They appeared to disperse later into night. The staff were efficent and polite when we arrived. There was no ice available to have with a drink unfortunately. There was provision to order a continental breakfast kit for about $15. We didn't order. We would recommend this Hotel to stay at. A little pricey but comparitable to others in area.

What a cute hotel in this historic bakery! And so close to the waterfront and parks. Delightful one night stay here with a comfortable bed and charming room. Though the room was a bit small, it was workable during our short visit. It was also great to have onsite parking.

Older building with character. A bit loud with our room above both reception and facing out into an active courtyard on a night when sleep was critical. Any other night we wouldn't have minded. Very comfortable bed. Nice staff. Thank you for the onsite parking and free room upgrade.

Check in was effortless, friendly and informative. After settling in and sleeping before an evening out I decided to put some heating on in the room, however could not get the heating unit to work. Contacted reception manager Tony who thought the problem might just be remote needing battery change so changed battery but still no success. After trying multiple things Tony offered to change my room or if I did not want that he would bring in a portable column heater. I asked for the column heater which Tony brought in quickly, however that wouldn’t work either. After trying another heater it appeared the power outlets were not working on that side of the room after some recent electrical work. Finally Tony brought in the heater from his own office and we were able to get it working on the other side of the room. I can only say that despite the heating difficulty Tony was an absolute legend and very determined that I would be warm and comfortable for my stay. Once back from my evening out I had a warm, comfortable and quiet sleep. Many thanks to Tony for being such a patient, helpful and persistent person.

Small rooms but a very convenient location for an overnight stay. We didn't receive check in instructions and needed to call an after hours number to get the code to the lockbox. This wasn't really a major inconvenience apart from being on hold for 10 minutes in the rain at 10pm

After spending some time in the room, me and my partner found out on our way out that the room lock wasn’t working. We luckily found the person on site who unfortunately wasn’t able to fix it either, being a weekend she had to wait for the next day as well. Me and my partner left for the event and when we came back the staff was there(past her working hours) and had upgraded us to the king suite without asking. We really appreciated her concern towards our safety, even when it was just a night’s stay. The hotel has an old vintage style vibe, a personal liking.

we stayed 2 nights in Dec. there had been an issue with some flooding in the dining room prior to our stay, so no sit down meals available. Reception did offer a breakfast pack (pr packed style) we declined this offer and took advantage of a very nice little take away food option called the Flying Sparrow just a block away( this was suggested by Reception also) I don't think I have stayed in a Hotel with such comfy bedding. Excellent cleanliness. One comment to be made; due to the flooding issue; ;Management might have been able to do an offer with a nearby restaurant for meals. Would definitely stay again.
