The Cornwall Historic Hotel

Launceston CBD Launceston|2.48km from city center
We had 3 rooms booked for a 2 night stay from 1st November which we booked through Booking.com. We checked into the Cornwall Hotel approximately 3.30pm on the 1st November. Upon arrival we were greeted by a pleasant staff member which gave us our keys. We all went to our rooms & were all very disappointed upon entering. The smell of filthy stained carpet , very tired & marked Furniture & the bathroom was appalling. Mould on the walls & stains that look like vomit & urine up the walls . The stainless steel shower was like a men’s urinal & was also dirty. Nothing like the pictures on the advertising. Why we didn’t just leave right then & there I don’t know. Looking for a positive I guess & hoping things would get better . We stayed in our room for approximately 1 hour before venturing out for a walk to the park followed by dinner together . We returned to the hotel at approximately 9pm . We climbed into bed shortly after & were hearing constant doors opening & closing , lots of people talking in the corridors so it was very hard to relax. Around 9.30pm very loud Alarms were going off in the corridor & the yelling & shouting began. I opened the door to see many people running down the corridors & unsavoury people yelling and swearing up & down the hall. These people were Caucasian males. This was the final straw . We got changed ,packed our bags along with our family members & went down stairs . Where we were greeted by the fire brigade & a lot of chaos, no sign of any staff at all . We went outside where we stood for the next 15 minutes or so & still no staff . No direction , no evacuation plan , nothing . We made the decision to leave the keys in the lock box on the counter. As I was waiting for my husband to bring the car to the front of the hotel to load all our luggage I saw a man behind the counter through the window from outside. I went in & asked if he was the manager in which he responded yes. I proceeded to tell him we were checking out as we were not happy with our rooms & what we had witnessed in the 1 1/2 hours of our stay there. We felt unsafe & the rooms were just filthy as well as people yelling obscenities in the corridors . He proceeded to yell at me & asked me what room numbers I had & made me feel very uncomfortable . I told him the keys were put in the box there & that we had three rooms . He moved to the front of the counter & in my face telling me I was racist & proceeded to yell at me & inciting what I believe may have been workers living in the building sitting in the foyer by saying I hated them & was racist ! This was so wrong! He was out of control and very rude. He asked what’s wrong with the room. I started telling him & he wanted me to show him. I followed him along with my elderly father up the stairs & down the corridor where he continued to yell & scream to people in the corridors that I hated them & was racist which I replied , “How dare you say that, I’ve never said such things.” I started videoing him f

Peppers Seaport Launceston
4.5/553 Reviews
Launceston CBD
The team at Peppers Seaport went out of their way to accommodate us. They organised an early check in as we had just got off the overnight Spirit of Tasmania. The room was wonderful and clean with a fantastic view over the harbour. The restaurant is located in Silos opposite and requires a short walk to get there.
Centennial Inn on Bathurst
3.6/51 Reviews
Launceston CBD
This was the best place I stayed in Tasmania and was close to the Gorge and city centre. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and a toaster and kettle were provided. There was even a free drink at the restaurant downstairs!
Areca Launceston
4.4/5106 Reviews
Launceston CBD
Not recommended if you have heavy baggage as theres no elevator (only 2 floors though). The place is beautiful as it’s on the top of a hill, but not so convenient if you’re on foot to sightseeing / do grocery so I’ll give it a 4. We didn’t need much service it’s mostly just DIY without much issue so I’ll give it a 5. The place is definitely clean so 5. Amenities would be 3 due to the stairs for heavy baggages (might not be an issue for everyone), also there’s no blind or door for the shower so the water would spill out to other areas in the washroom even if you are very cautious.
Country Club Tasmania
4.5/5116 Reviews
The most comfortable stay on our whole Tasmania trip. Everything was perfect, clean, super comfortable. Beautiful restaurants with great food at reasonable prices. Easy check in and check out. I highly recommend it!
Adina Place Motel Apartments
3.9/561 Reviews
Launceston CBD
I would like to give the reception staff Lisa and Karen 10 out of 10 for wonderful service. I was trying to get a bed for one night and rang the hotel as I'd booked on what I thought was their website - I'd booked the wrong night and couldn't change it. Lisa was the lady I spoke to and she very kindly sorted it for me in such a lovely manner. Then when I arrived Karen was on reception and the welcome was warm and friendly and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Personality plus, what an asset! The room was on the small side but comfortable, spotless and had a fabulous view of the city. It is also within walking distance of two theatres, bars and restaurants. A genuine pleasure to stay here, thank you ladies.
