The Quality Hotel Colonial Launceston is often praised for its welcoming atmosphere and cleanliness, with guests enjoying tidy rooms and attentive daily housekeeping. Its central location garners appreciation, providing convenient city access and amenities like electric vehicle charging. While the charm of the hotel is noted, some guests feel the decor could be updated and have mixed views on the value proposition.
The staff's friendliness and helpfulness frequently earn commendations. However, while the amenities such as free parking are well-received, the absence of microwaves and overly bright bathroom lights have been called out.

Magnificent stay in a truely old world Hotel! Felt privileged to spend our time in the well kept and presented charm of the 1847 era Colonial Hotel! It’s a credit to the friendly and helpful owner who takes so much pride to maintain such for travellers to enjoy! Easy walking distance to shops parks hospital etc and we could leave the car on the electric car charger…what an added bonus. Whilst we didn’t use the gym many were seen to be making good use of it. The 3 Steps on George restaurant attached to this establishment offered a diverse menu with many great choices.

Always an enjoyable stay with thanks to the great management of this Hotel!

the hotel was easy to find, and we were visually impressed with it. we were early with check in, but we were lucky enough that our room was almost finished and were able to check in a few hours early with no extra cost. the gentleman host was very personable and quite happy to tell a little of himself and the city. our room was lovely. we did have dinner in the restaurant , but was a little underwhelmed

We stayed 2 nights in room 111 on the ground floor of the Elizabeth Manor building. Check-in was friendly and efficient. The room was clean and tidy with a well-stocked mini-bar. Shower over bath, and plenty of hot water. We used the hotel laundry ($4 for washing machine and $8 for the dryer)

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The staff & Owner went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable.
Our check-in was scheduled for 2:00 PM, but they graciously accommodated us with an early check-in, allowing us to settle in ahead of time. On our departure day, they kindly stored our luggage since our return flight was late, making our travel experience much more convenient.
The hotel is housed in a stunning old architectural building that perfectly combines historic charm with modern comfort.
A special highlight of our stay was meeting the owners’ two friendly dogs, Lincoln Senior and Junior. They were so sweet and added a warm, homely touch to the experience. Their playful nature made our stay even more memorable!
The service was exceptional—every request was handled promptly and with a smile. The location was perfect, offering easy access to the city. Highly recommend this gem of a hotel to anyone looking for a perfect getaway
Stayed from 20/12/2024 to 24/12/2024 Room 302

Wonderful Trip, very accomodating as we were visiting family in hospital. Can’t recommend enough, warm and clean rooms with fantastic hospitality. The gym was very clean, they allowed for early check in for extreme circumstances and felt very personal.

We stayed in Quality Hotel Colonial for work. The staff were very welcoming and very attentive to our needs. Overall, it was a great place to stay! They offer daily room service, free parking, and is only about 6 min walk to the CBD. The owner also gave us Moscato to enjoy! 😃

Came for a staycation with my son and had an excellent night in the deluxe queen suite.
The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the staff were so friendly.
Parking was a breeze with free parking and noticed charging stations for electric vehicles.
Within walking distance to the CBD so going out for dinner wasn’t a hassle.
Ordered room service breakfast and the food was delicious and the toast was still hot!
Will definitely be staying again.

This hotel offers quality accommodation for all ages with rooms & apartments to suit everyone.Prices are very reasonable & the rooms are very clean & well supplied with tea & coffee making facilities & biscuits supplied ( a rarity) in a lot of rooms these days. Bathrooms are supplied with shampoo, conditioner & liquid soap in one dispenser, & I was very impressed with the makeup lights above the normal large mirror. Overall I would thoroughly recommend this hotel.It also has a great restaurant & amazing breakfast room. Can' wait to stay again. Great value at a "budget price".Thankyou Colonial for a great stay.
