I enjoyed my stay at this boutique hotel, which had clean and comfortable rooms along with fantastic views of the city. The location was great, being just a short walk from the city park and local restaurants. While the self-check-in process was efficient, I didn't interact with the staff and there were no breakfast options available. Overall, it was a great value for money considering the amenities and comfort it offered.

The room was lovely, clean, and well-appointed with a modern bathroom. I appreciated the comfortable bed and the beautiful view from the window. However, there was one window without a curtain which let in light early in the morning.

The hotel is conveniently located with easy access to the city park and several restaurants and shops. The walk back is a bit steep, which gets the legs pumping after a meal.

Areca hotel offers a charming retreat with comfortable rooms and spectacular views over Launceston and the Tamar River. My stay was quite enjoyable, highlighted by the clean accommodations and very friendly staff who went the extra mile to assist me. However, the steep slope and limited parking can be challenging for some guests. Overall, it's a comfortable boutique choice that I would consider again, albeit with a caveat regarding accessibility.

The rooms are clean and feature exceptional views over north Launceston and the Tamar River, but they could use more drawer space.

The hotel's location is a bit further down a steep slope, about a 10-15 minute walk to the city center, but the views are definitely worth it.

I had a lovely stay at the Areca hotel, which boasted clean and modern rooms along with a stunning view of the city. The facilities were well-maintained and the atmosphere was quiet and cozy. Unfortunately, breakfast wasn't available during my visit, which was a downside. The location was slightly steep, making the walk back a bit of a challenge after dining out, but the views from the higher rooms are definitely worth it.

I had a comfortable stay at this hotel, which is situated on a steep slope about a 10-15 minute walk from the city center. The room was basic but clean, and I appreciated the complimentary parking. However, be aware that there are stairs to navigate, which could be challenging for those with mobility issues. The absence of on-site dining was a bit disappointing, especially since breakfast wasn't offered. Overall, it was a decent experience for the price, but some amenities could use improvement.
