福姆比飯店(The Formby Hotel)

A good location across Devonport Ferry terminal, with a view of the Spirit of Tasmanià. Suitable for backpackers. Complete with Aminities. Friendly receptionist. Ample parking.

トランジット目的の１拍だったので、寝られれば十分と思って予約したが、知らない人との２人部屋はなかなかキツかった。けど、ホテル自体はまあまあ悪くないと思う。

Goooooooooooooggggg

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.

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.

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

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

Close to the Spirit.
