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.

Friendly vibe good food access to community kitchen

Last night of a driving trip around Tasmania. In the centre of Devonport, nice view of the river and Spirit of Tasmania. Walked out to the bluff along the river. Room was perfect for me, Thursday night so no loud music. Parking close and free.

I have stayed here numerous times for work and the service is excellent, the down side this stay was the wifi wasn’t working in my hotel room but other than that small issue it was great

My motorcycle was stolen from the Carpark. No security or cameras. Night club noise till 2 am with drunken yobbos smashing bottles in car park. Single dorm 2 bed room with uncomfortable bed. Other guest left st 1am. Couldn't stand it. Ruined my Tassie trip

We stayed here as a family of four before hopping on the ship back to Melbourne. It was a Friday night so the music was pumping until 12am. But we went out to the movies so it was fine. Lovely room.

Squeaky floors I’m room, dirty kitchen, dirty bathroom

Solo travel just for one night. Stoped here from the ferry. Comfy bed and everything worked. The decor is verry old and needs updating. For one night i had no issues. Staf where friendly and understood that i would be coming late.

Have stayed here multiple times for work, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the meals in the bistro are always very nice

Lovely staff, aaaaaaamazing food, upstairs was very worn and not visually appealing but room was a nice size, clean and in good condition with a very comfortable bed.

Acceptable, location is ok, just for spare 1 night to catch the shuttle.

Very noisy was not told that the pub was having a big music night until we were there hard to sleep when DJ was on until very late

We were not warned and were not aware that a nightclub operates directly underneath out room. It was noisy and booming music until late and sleep was scant. We won't stay again. Otherwise it was fine.
