Small very smelly old rooms with one sink for toilet & tea & coffee. Horrible old soft flat pillows. Banging doors. No fly screens. Parking difficult & space. Staff friendly & helpful.

Hotel ideally situated for stopping overnight when arriving late on the ferry, rooms all upstairs but comfortable, a fair bit of noise especially from other guests talking loudly when heading to their rooms and when congregating in the common room. Reasonably priced, excellent food in the restaurant.

Room was clean and pleasant. Bed was comfortable. Reception area was not that impressive.

fairly basic room, but nice and clean, good food and drink downstairs, and live music!. enjoyed the stay

Great location, great price, easy parking, clean and comfortable with a good size bath. I was at the back which had less traffic noise but the back door was quite noisy with other guests not closing it quietly. It did stop and didn’t disturb my sleep but a door closer might help.

Didn't like how people slammed doors at 630am but over all was a great stay and the bed was comfortable to sleep in

Great spot

Friendly staff who assisted me to check in without hassles. Location is great with shopping district nearby. Communal areas are reasonably clean. Good value for money.

Bed was perfect and restaurant staff were amazingly helpful

Overall great place to stay, only issue had is the glow of light that comes under the door which makes it hard to get off to sleep.

Good location for arriving on the Spirit of Tasmania.

Close to the Spirit.

The facility is in a great location walking distance to the downtown shopping area/restaurants/coffee houses as well as the waterfront. It sits on a very busy street to one side so the room I had received a lot of street noise. In addition, the hotel bar has live entertainment on Friday and Saturday night which you can hear if your room is close to that part. If you are a light sleeper use ear plugs. The room was clean and as pictured. The appearance of the hotel when you walk in is a major disappointment especially as you go upstairs to the hallways. Paint is peeling off the trim work, the walls and trim are badly marred in places. Once you get in the room it is nice. The front entrance and hallways need a major update (dirty carpet on the stairs, paint, wall patches, etc.). Parking is an issue as it is not clear where to park when you arrive. There is a pay parking lot for which you get reimbursed by the hotel if you use but the parking machine did not take credit cards and I had no change. A suggestion would be for the hotel to provide you with a parking pass that you could place on your dashboard since it is a parking lot dedicated to them. Needs to be updated.

Was fine, good meal and location

Central to town centre and dining venue. Needed to get an early night for early flight next day bit of a problem as venue bit noisy. Able to hear other guests coming and going from rooms banging of doors

Great Restaurant and clean rooms. You can watch the Spirit of Tasmania come and go, is right on the river !

It was good

Property was as expected. Great location, good meal in dining room. Room clean and tidy. Perfect for quick overnight visit to Devonport!!

The staff at the Formby are fantastic

Ok accommodation. Nothing flash

On arrival warm welcome of unit and property then hot baked bread arrived and the cheese platter for supper great food for breakfast generous allowance of food. Close to local pub (2 minute walk ) and (5min drive to centre of town) beautiful property to wal around and the rooms were outstanding. The most reliable holiday ever. Thanks for spoiling us. Long spa of a night and showers in the morning. Oh such a comfortable bed. Wonderful break

Very basic but convenient for a late night stay over. Bed was not comfortable.

When we entered the back stairs that we were told to enter they were putrid. The back door was held open by a workers dirty boot and the hall and entry way had dirty smelly workman boots everywhere and the whole hallway stunk. When we first arrived the office person looked at us then turned and left the office. Didn't return for 15 minutes. meanwhile a girl that was cleaning the tables in the dining room kept looking over at us and another man and she could see we were waiting to check in. Finally she came over (partly shaved head) and checked us in. No apologies for keeping us waiting.

It was a convenient and inexpensive place for the night after getting off the Ferry late in the evening. A busy hotel but we slept ok.

Property is great for a stay over. Room clean. Unfortunate that we had to pay for the room again after paying through Wotif. Looks like Wotif did not pay the Formby

The view was great from our room and it was lovely clean,easy parking our meal downstairs was delicious we wouldn’t hesitate to come back again

Great option for a quick stay when coming on or off the ferry. Central & well appointed. Good food at the restaurant. Do note, the pub downstairs has live music until 2am on Fridays & Saturdays, but I stayed here on a Sunday and it was quiet.

Staff were amazing, Restaurant can't fault.We had previously read that there was a DJ on the weekend, but as we were staying Tues/Wed we thought we were in the clear. Unfortunately, we didn't realise (was not informed previously) that we were checking in on the Devonport cup public holiday and that a DJ would be playing that night. The staff did inform us upon checking in that it would be noisy until about 11pm. We were also given the room directly above the DJ/bar and it was loud and our "last quiet night in Tasmania" didn't quite workout. Apart from this, everything else was great.It would have been great if we had received some warning beforehand that a DJ was going to be playing on a non-weekend day.
