Arthouse Hostel

Great location. Kitchen was pretty gross, lots of old loose food in the fridge, tables were always sticky and staff didn't really interact with any visitors once. Old churchy vibes. Rooms were quite spacious though.

I stayed 3 weeks here.Pretty chill hostel, a bit old tho but really good price.The owner Peter is verry nice !Good place for long term :)

Grotty hostel. Its self proclaimed [clean... newly renovated... state of the art]" is pure and simply a lie. The building is falling into disrepair. A proper deep clean

Hostel is fairly basic, but has everything you need. Peter the manager was so helpful, helping us lock up our trailer and then dropping something for us we left behind in Hobart on his way. Such a helpful host!

Unbelievable! I regret so much to have stayed there. I paid 55aud a night in a 8beds dorm and just regret I didn't stay at the podd. The place is completely damaged and dirty. If the employees aren't going to clean anything, just leave at least some cleaning stuff cause nobody like to have to stay in such dirt ! This is a scam at this point. One plug for the full room, no individual light, papers of people begging to get back laptop they get stolen, bathroom clogged with thousands of hair, holes and dirts absolutely everywhere.I saw the staff once just handing me my envelope with the key when I arrived and one my 2sd day I came back at 5pm and had to get people to open to me because the door code was changed without any warning ?! Never again and that's shameful to make money but not be able to renovate a minimum the place.

Wanted to like this place - it looks great on the outside and inside the weird little quirks of the building I was hoping would be charming, but there were a lot of issues that brought it down. Due to the uneven floors one of the beds had a roll to it, so unless you were propped in place you’d roll to the edge and feel like you’d fall off the bed, and although they were clean, the old sheets and pillow cases made it felt like I was sleeping somewhere hundreds of people had used before me. The bathroom was a bit leaky, there was moisture and mould on the walls, and because of this the men’s bathroom door was left open which made it a bit awkward to use. The kitchen was pretty well equipped, but mostly old and broken down -For example, the ignition on the gas stoves was gone so there was a long gas lighter to use, but the ignition on that was gone too so we needed to light the gas lighter with a lighter then light the stove to cook anything. The utensils and pots and pans were old and not in good condition. Unfortunately when we were there there wasn’t really much of a social vibe either, we were checking in and out outside of their open hours so never saw the staff in the 2 nights we were there, and the only guests we saw were the ones watching the tv when you walk in or the ones at the tables in the dining room but these areas didn’t feel set up to be social. There’s no on site parking, but seemed to be plenty of street parking so no real issue there, and it was only about 1km into the downtown area of Launceston so decent location for it in any case

This is one of the best hostel where I stay in all my days in Australia (3 months), the staff is very nice, kind, all works amazing, I felt safe, and I enjoyed the kitchen because is big and have everything for made a good cook, the dinner room is big, illuminated and open. And the old building give a feeling of living in the past times. I recommend to everyone stays here and have a unique experience.

Staff were incredibly helpful and queer friendly! Helped us to plan our trip and gave excellent advice. Rooms were clean and warm and the shower had excellent pressure. Great distance from town centre, easy to walk and close to the tiger bus. Would recommend and will come again ☺️

Inhabited by grubs who cook with every pan in the kitchen and don't wash a single one. Mugs are stored rim down on a shelf that looks like it's never been wiped. Signs say quiet after 10pm yet people party until well after 1am. Cleaning involves swapping the sheets and wiping the kitchen and bathroom bench, the place is well overdue for a deep clean as I don't think it's been dusted or vacuumed for months, if ever. I thought I had low standards but even I thought this place was filthy! Beds have no lamps, shelfs or power points. Redeeming features? It's not far from town, there's a big TV. The outside table is nice if not covered in XXXX cans from the night before. Why they let people stay there who can't use the kitchen respectfully or obey the rules or use a bin is a mystery to me. The place was full, surely they could get enough business with people who don't ruin it for everyone else.

Place is a bit rundown, but the building is charming. There aren’t lockers in the rooms, but the rooms are secure. The wifi worked well.They try hard to keep the kitchen clean, but it’s often left dirty by other travelers not doing their dishes.The staff is really nice & accommodating, happy to make recommendations.About half of the people staying were working long term on farms in the area.
