Passable

The price was reasonable.

There was a communal kitchen but it was not very clean. The guests who used it did not read the signs about cleaning what you used and putting it back where you got it from.

Functional

It served its purpose, which was an overnight stay after getting off the ferry. The restaurant downstairs was convivial, if a little chaotic and disorganised.

The room was a little pokey and on the small side. The bathroom was clean but about 40 years out of date (no mixer tap on the sink for instance)

Review on formby hotel

Great location and staff were nice

Beds could be a little more comfortable and could still smell smoke inside the rooms from other people.

The staff’s hospitality made our stay more comfortable.

Location is perfect. All the facilities are at a walking distance. Shopping Streets, Maccas, Restaurants , cinemas all at 5 min walking from Hotel. Its just a 7 min drive from Devonport so worked perfect for us after getting down from the Spirit Of Tasmania in night. Room was spacious and perfect for our family of four.

Dodgy!

Not worth the money. This is a glorified boarding house for farm workers who leave their dirty boots everywhere and smoke on the back stairs. There isn’t really car parking, just pub parking, with some of the shadiest characters hanging around we’ve ever seen. We we’re glad our motorbike was still there in the morning. The walls are paper thin and we could hear the neighbour arriving late and snoring! we would be happy to pay $70 for the privilege, but $150, I think not. Food at pub downstairs is good. but stay elsewhere and go there for dinner.

No secure parking, farm workers boarding there with dirty boots sitting in the hallway, dodgy characters lurking about, thin walls!

Passable

Staff very helpful & friendly. The room was clean & bed comfortable. Good for a short stay. Good location to town & Spirt of Tasmania Ferry.

The slamming of doors ALL night kept us awake. Other noisy guests with loud music & TV's as well with no consideration for those wanting sleep. The shared kitchen & laundry were absolutely FILTHY... won't be stating there again!

Location, budget accomodation, overall clean, I would definitely stay again.

The building is old so when people walk or talk in the corridor, it can be heard loud and clear in your room. The common kitchen is a bit dirty as some people do intend to leave their dirty dishes in the sink.

Comfortable and convenient for travelling on the Spirit of Tasmania early sail.

The ensuite room was larger than expected. We had been warned that there would be noise from the live music downstairs (and were given option to change booking) however, we did not hear any music or outside noise and slept soundly. Tea and coffee facilities, wardrobe, shelves, TV were all great. The bed was super comfortable.

An option to purchase breakfast/ breakfast provisions as we were on an early sail out of Devonport the next morning would have been good.

the noise of people running around the corridor and visiting each other
