Launceston

I stayed at this place with my wife for a weekend trip. Due to budget and time constraints, this was the only place available.
The staff were friendly enough and the room was both comfortable & sparse. The meals available downstairs were good and having various shops in walking distance was welcome. I was surprised to find that the bathroom was separate, requiring the key to get in. But being above a bar, and on a weekend, I found the place to be very noisy and had trouble trying to get some sleep.
Still it is a budget location and it does its job

Budget location through and through

The room I stayed in (an executive queen bed with bathroom) was in a terrible state.  The floors were dirty, there's no A/C, there's no desk if you're staying for business and it's not the quietest place I've ever stayed.
It is fairly central - a walk to the centre of town is less than 10 minutes stroll.  There are much better options available for the price.  If it was $80 for the room, I'd say it was good value.  At $120 it's not even close.

Dirty and extremely spartan rooms - not hard to find better value

Basic budget hotel close to Launceston CBD.  Lots of restaurants nearby.  Walking distance to CBD.  Though Hotels.com website says the hotel room comes with private bathroom, it is indeed a DETACHED bathroom from the hotel room which Hotels.com never mentions.  This means you have to use the hotel room key to get into your bathroom.  If you forget, you will be locked out from your room and you are done, as the reception desk is not 24x7.  Bathroom is clean comparing with the hotel room which is full of dust with strong fish and chip smell.  The pub gentleman has been very helpful looking for deodorizer but it didn't help much (I do appreciate his efforts).  After having the window opened for couple days, the fish and chip smell was diminished quite a bit but it's already the time I had to move on.  The room I stayed in is facing the main road, so it is pretty noisy with cars and pub music downstairs starting early morning until 9pm, and this situation is worse when I had to open the window due to the fish and fish smell.  Price wise, it's a deal for such location.  I do think the cleaning job can be done better.  The last thing I want to say is the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Budget hotel does its job

We stayed at Sporties Hotel on a Thursday and a Friday night. At first, I was quite impressed. For a budget room, we were checked in by friendly staff, and shown to our room, which was spacious enough and had a large en suite bathroom, with a toilet, basin and shower. We were given a kettle and two cups for the room when we asked for one.
The bed was quite soft, and the carpet in the room could have done with a good vac, as there was bits of dirt and hairs on the carpet. 
On the Thursday evening there was a bit of noise from the pub downstairs, but on the Friday the music was really loud, and went on until the early hours of the morning, keeping us awake. 
I would stay at Sporties if you were looking for budget accommodation, but only during the week, as it was so noisy on the Friday night. 

Noisy over the weekend

Went for tea whilst staying in Launceston.  Monday was their Pint & Parma Night for $15.00.  Well worth it.  Delicious variety of Parma's and yummy chips.  Great service too which is so nice.  Highly recommend.

Monday Pint & Parma Night

I stayed here for 1 night. The room was very clean and tidy, bed very comfortable to sleep on. There is a heater & fan in the room & tv. You have your own bathroom which is seperate to the room. The bathroom was very clean and functioned well. 
Geoff went out of his way to be helpful and recommended the $15 parma & pint for dinner. The parma was massive & tasted great, washed down with a pint of the local brew. 
There are other dining options very close to the hotel including a burger restaurant, sushi, cafe and pasta restaurant. 
Being upstairs with a pub downstirs, I was expecting some noise however I slept very well with no noise from the pub . (it was a monday night)

comfortable stay here

We had a room with one double bed. The fridge made quite a bit of noise so we decided to unplug it overnight. Our private bathroom was separate from the room, which was a bit annoying, but otherwise it was nice and clean. Staff were helpful. It's a short walk from nearby shops and restaurants. We decided to watch a movie whilst there, Village cinemas were about a 10min walk away.
