Quaint is the best description I could give.
Too much traffic noise. Too much noise from the room above at nite and 6 am in the morning.
Breakfast was average at best.
And the hosts where non existent.
Severely overpriced for what it is.

Beautiful small inn.
Lovely small hotel/inn. Information was communicated to us promptly about check in process and parking as there is not a front desk. Our room was very nice although a bit small but fine for a night or two. The common areas are lovely and the breakfast was wonderful. We would definitely stay again. The location is also very good.

Beautiful heritage building opposite city park and Design Tasmania. We had one of the front rooms facing the park which was nicely appointed and light. Breakfast was nice and healthy. Staff were helpful and friendly. Overall very pleasant stay for us. However, we were travelling with friends who had a room without external windows other than in the bathroom. They found their room rather dark

The Florance is my accommodation of choice in Launceston. It's a beautiful building, and the way it is operated is calming, efficient and thoughtful. I can walk from here to multiple places around the city, while feeling the quiet nest is waiting for me.

Wonderful place to stay
What a great place to stay. A beautiful old building that has been tastefully restored and added on to. Our room was very comfortable with nice views across city park. Breakfast each morning was very nice. The staff and owners were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a great location within easy walking distance of most things to do and places to eat.

The property was very nice and the staff were lovely.
We stayed at the front of the house and the road noise was a small problem.
We had a great stay.
