The place is old. There are holes on the roof everywhere. The building is not safety at all to anyone, even for the staff. The kitchen only has 4 burners and it’s dirty. The location it’s fine. I stayed just for 2 nights but I not recommend this place. In my personal opinion is better pay more for a safety place.

Like a lot of hostels, it's run down but is clean. It's cheap so you are aware and realistic about that. The staff very lovely. Warm in the room (I stayed in winter). I would recommend.

The Arthouse Hostel provides value for money. For the low price you get a clean bed and cosy room with a few decent chill out zones. It really ends there… kitchen is big but needs upgrading, big(ish) showers but black mould throughout, room never seemed to get vacuumed and there was mess throughout the hallways. If you’re just passing through Launceston and only need a place to rest your head and can put up with those issues, it’s fine, however, don’t expect much for the low price point!
