Hotel Grand Chancellor Launceston
Good sized room and efficient check-in. We stayed a night and did not eat there but it seemed a good “chain” sort of hotel - well run, clean and modern.

Launceston Central Apartment Hotel
Room is spacious and has good amenities, including big TV with Foxtel subscription, good fridge, and bathtub. The only thing they should improve is putting better toiletries for guests to use. Property itself is a bit old / aged, especially the lift / elevator. Location is very central to Launceston ...
