The Hotel Charles is a nice modern hotel close to local restaurants and bars. The rooms are clean and the bed is very comfortable. I truly enjoyed the free in-room internet access. The only negative comment is that the hallways on each floor can feel a bit spooky if you find yourself alone. This is a result of its original... More

Anyone working at the Hospital from out of town, don't look any further - its a 1 minute walk. Anyone coming on holiday to Launceston, don't look any further - its a 10 minute walk to town Anyone coming to visit Launceston for any reason whatsoever, don't look any further - this place is almost perfect - decor, cleanliness, spaciousness,...

At last a hotel in Launceston that towers above the rest. Having stayed at a few hotels before in Launceston, it was a refreshing change to find the Hotel Charles. Rooms are sleek and the high ceilings give you a sense of space. Full length window allows you to open for fresh air. The king bed is very comfortable and... More

Hotel Charles really was the highlight of our trip. We stayed there for 3 nights this January and had a great time. We had a king bed, a balcony, and everything was very modern. It was very clean and a great base for Launceston. There a few cafe/eateries within walking distance on Charles street itself so even though we had... More

Our room (331) was extremely comfortable and clean with trendy decor, beautiful linen & pillows, large LCD television & spacious ensuite with the added convenience of the hotel laundry facility on our level. The included buffet breakfast was exceptional with... More
