Disliked: Amenities
The Formby Hotel was very inexpensive, quiet and convenient to the Spirit of Tasmania. It's an old hotel and the facilities show their age. However, the room was comfortable, the staff were very friendly, and I had a quiet, restful sleep after a tortuous Bass Strait Crossing. I was perfectly happy with my stay.

Decent place for location close to the spirit of Tasmania. The place does look a bit dated but good for a short stay and money value.

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.

Great Location but Needs Updating

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.
