Top Launceston Tramway Museum Hotel Reviews

Balmoral On York

Balmoral On York

8/10 Good
"We stayed for a few nights at Balmoral on York, in a Premier Queen Room. Room was okay - slightly outdated but clean, and comfortably sized. You can open the window which is handy for fresh air circulation, but there is no flyscreen. Location wise is really great. Very close to city centre - walking distance to the shops, restaurants and bars. Free parking space is a fantastic added bonus - there were plenty when we were there. Breakfast (we had continental breakfast included) was okay - simple but plentiful and good variety of choices. Staff is pretty good - although it seems there was only one person attending to breakfast and front desk (assumed maybe because it was winter). Overall, we enjoyed our stay."
