Areca Launceston - Launceston, Tasmania

We enjoyed our two-night stay at the hotel. The staff at the reception were incredibly accommodating, offering us a ground floor room without even needing to be asked. This was especially helpful given my husband's mobility limitations.The room itself was clean and comfortable, with a queen-sized bed that was perfectly fine for us. The location was excellent, with numerous restaurants nearby. We were pleasantly surprised to find complimentary bottled water in the room.One of the highlights of our stay was the stunning sunset views from our room, which made for a truly memorable experience.

Lovely and clean accommodation, with a great view. Took a little bit for the hot water to come through, but the bathroom facilities are great.

The hotel wasn't easy to get to and had limited carparking. There were a lot of steep steps to get to reception. Luckily I was with my husband so he went reception as I have mobilty issues and can't use steps. The room was ok. The shower was mouldy around the edges and the tiles were VERY slippery. Not good for someone with mobilty issues. The bed was average. While it had some nice views, I wouldn't stay here again.

Having last reviewed Areca in Jan 2021, we can report that it is still clean, comfortable, quiet, and great value for money. Our choice was a King room on the upper floor with superb views, responsive wi-fi, and room controlled air-con. The premium for a King room is very small. Definitely worth considering for a most spacious room, as well as one of the most comfortable huge beds that we have ever slept in. It does involve heading up one flight of stairs (no lift) and there are also steps upto reception at the adjoining Waratah. Therefore Areca might not be the best choice for those with mobility issues, but business travellers in particular should have a good night at a conveniently located boutique hotel with a study desk and parking on site. We again found the staff to be most pleasant and helpful. Spot-on suggestions were made about breakfast options as Areca no longer offers breakfast, contrary to information on this Tripadvisor listing. We also went with 4 stars rather than 5 as the rather austere room chairs provide a nice looking decor, but perhaps are a bit dated and lacking in longer stay comfort. All in all though, we would be happy to return again, and recommend Areca as a great value option on the fringe of Launceston CBD

Rooms large and spacious. Our room was fitted out with all the kit for people with disability. As I’m learning to be one of those people the hard way, I felt the consideration definitely made life easier. It did seem incongruous thought that there was a nasty flight of stairs up to reception. I had to get the better half to check in.
The view across Launceston to the Tamar was lovely, as was the faint chiming of bells every fifteen minutes.
It truly was a lovely room. But one slight downer. Even on a cool night it was overly warm and airless. Be prepared to whack the A/C on.
Definitely great value for money.

A great hotel at the top of York street. A short walk to the town and a really lovely welcome.

The room was spacious and clean. Light with a great view of Launceston. Plenty of room to store clothes and bags.

Pia on reception was very professional and always eager to help regardless of what the query was.

Would I stay again? 100% yes

We were really pleased with our short stay at the Areca Launceston as it is a very close to the Airport with all the facilities needed. It is ideally situated for visiting the many sights in Launceston as it is just round the corner.

The Reception staff who were very friendly and helpful.
