Leisure Inn Penny Royal Hotel & Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place to stay. Short walk into town and the gorge."

Peppers Silo Launceston

10/10 Excellent

"great room, so big - would have been nice if it had had a small table and chairs so you didn't have to sit on the bed. and a small couch would have fit in also! you only get a view of the carpark if you don't pay extra for the silo rooms but the size of the room makes up for it. A bit remote from cafes etc so a small microwave would be nice so you could heat your food or drinks when you finally get them back, but there is a cafe in the park next door, open in the morning- fantastic stay"
