Launceston Backpackers – Hostel
This hostel provides twenty-four-hour access and budget accommodation, of a no-frills nature but definitely managed in a professional and friendly manner, and the location is convenient for the town centre.
The rooms, all for non-smokers, vary from accommodating two to fifteen, with a mixture of single, double and bunk beds and most having shared bathroom facilities. Some have a partially open bathroom and shower instead. Guests can make use of a common area with sofas, a dining room and a garden.
Communal laundry and a well equipped kitchen are two of the essentials you can find here, along with secure rooms, cheap wireless internet and a free film library. The staff can help with the organising of tours, and the hostel is an airport pickup and drop-off point. If you are driving here, you can park in a large car park which is locked at night, or make use of a smaller one which is accessible twenty-four hours a day.
Your safety is of paramount concern to the staff at Launceston Backpackers, who have made a point of ensuring that the entire property more than meets fire regulations, with smoke detectors, two fire escapes and several extinguishers.
For everyday essentials, there is a supermarket and a twenty-four-hour convenience store about a minute’s walk from Launceston Backpackers, and the town centre itself is just ten minutes away.

A spot of retail therapy can be found at Quadrant Mall and Brisbane Street Mall, and it’s also quite easy to reach Tasmania Zoo.
