Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Popped in for a beer, great local crowd with good barman.”
“Friendly service, nice atmosphere. Parmas were nice and reasonably priced, but I think the Salt & Pepper Squid was overpriced for what was served. Jugs of soft drink had more ice than drink. We had one meal at this venue & we did not stay here, so I can not comment on the accommodation.”
“Good old fashioned pub. Good service, cold beer and excellent food. Standard pub grub.”
“Have been working in Launceston for 6 months on a project. I love the TRC. Small town vibes with good food and rooms for the price point. I'll always return.”
“A great place to stop in and close to lots of other attractions. At times they have Live music / Karaoke. Staff are warm and friendly, we hadn't been inside the TRC for over 20yrs and had a great chat with a member of the staff (maybe manager?) regarding renovations etc. He was a wealth of information and didn't mind chatting with us as we reminisced. The place was busy and the atmosphere was awesome.”
