Formby Hotel

Devonport - North

This family-run branch of a wider chain gives you good value for money, as you can choose between a conventional hotel room or dormitory accommodation, along with the shared facilities of a hostel and the dining, bar and gaming options of a hotel.

As well as rooms sleeping between two and four, in queen and single beds, there are shared dormitories (male and female) with a twin bed for each guest. In the private rooms you have your own bathroom with a shower-bath combination, a desk, air conditioning and in some rooms a fridge and an electric kettle.

Guests can make use of the communal facilities which are quite generous at the Formby Hotel. They include laundry equipment, coffee and tea in the lounge area, a bar and restaurant, the services of the front desk and a limited level of room service. There is free wireless internet throughout the hotel, and parking is also at no extra charge. For those who like a flutter, you can also find an Oasis gaming lounge (where the aforementioned bar can be found), complete with Keno and Tote.

The Formby Hotel is a non-smoking venue, and the rooms are on the first floor with only stair access, as the ground floor is home to the dining and gaming facilities. The dormitories are for adults only, but the private rooms are suitable for families. The restaurant has a designated kids’ menu as well. For those looking for a good take-home tipple, you can find a branch of The Big Bottle Shop on the premises, something common to all of the hotels that make up the Goodstone group.

The friendly staff at the front desk are happy to assist with any bookings for local tours or other ticketed events, as well as advice on places to visit. Being in Devonport, these include Devonport Regional Gallery, a mere four minutes from the Formby Hotel on foot, and you are a short drive from Bass Strait Maritime Centre and Devonport Ferry Terminal (convenient for getting to the other bank of the river to access the west of the town). You are likely to catch a sight of the Spirit of Tasmania, a popular cruise liner, as it docks locally on its voyages.

Situated near the airport, this hotel is within 1 mi (2 km) of Devonport Regional Gallery and Devonport Ferry Terminal. Bass Strait Maritime Centre and East Devonport Beach are also within 1 mi (2 km).

This smoke-free hotel features a restaurant, a bar/lounge, and coffee/tea in a common area. Free WiFi in public areas and free self parking are also provided. Other amenities include laundry facilities and an arcade/game room.

Housekeeping is not available.
