I returned to Launceston Backpackers for the second time in six months. I was happy to share bathrooms. On my first visit I shared a room with a friend but this time paid for a separate room. I love the building but the paint is peeling on the ceilings in the bathroom and the shower curtains were smelly and mouldy... More

Stayed for a night while stopping by Launceston.Location was good as it was within walking distance to most of the attraction within city and reasonably priced. As I was here during early autumn, no heater was provided. However, this was the first time i had to pay seperately for a blanket.

only 2 nights at this place. Cita is very nice & helpful. I didn't know the linen & sheet are chargeable & I though my swimming towel could be enough for the night in March. So I didn't require when I checked in. But when I came back around 10PM, I found the housekeeper left linen & blanket on the... More

We paid $58 for a double room (shared bathroom), very very reasonable price for such a big room. The kitchen is also big (although it could do with more pots), so is the communal/dining area, plus there is one more large TV room. There are many rooms but we never had to wait for toilet or bathroom, which were pretty... More

Friendly & helpful staff are what keeps this hostel running smoothly. Mal is there almost everyday, he has a hard task as some of the guests don't follow the rules such as cleaning up after using the kitchen/dining room. Hey fellow travellers- if you want 5 star accommodation then go elsewhere & pay for it!! If you want Backpacker accommodation... More

This is a hostel; barren rooms and showers/toilets down the hall. Our group stayed here twice, each time for one day during a tour of Tasmania. The first time, the young woman checking us in was pleasant. The second time was Mrs. Nazi. Everyone in my large group had to be in the office at the same time to hear... More

We were 3 friends and booked a triple room (shared bathroom) which was quite cheap at $25 each. Helen took our booking over the phone and was quite helpful. She even returned from her home at night when she realized she forgot to keep the extra bedding we had requested! This gesture really touched us and we instantly knew we... More

Great places for cheap accommodation. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Couple of restaurants/pubs and Coles nearby which was very convenient. Walkable distance to Cataract Gorge. Great Cradle Mountain tour run by the Backpackers. Enjoyed my time here!

The location is pretty good, not far from town or Cataract Gorge (although I still drove). The staff at the front desk were welcoming and friendly. I stayed in a private double room, which had a lot of space to move around. Only flouro lighting so not really mood lighting. The bed was comfortable enough, and the showers adequate and... More
