Edgewater Devonport Hotel - Comfortable Stay

What guests think

At Edgewater Hotel, travelers consistently highlight its unbeatable convenience for the Spirit of Tasmania, clean and quiet rooms, and smooth after-hours self check-in supported by friendly staff, making it a practical overnight base before early departures or late arrivals.

Many reviews note comfortable beds and occasional water views of passing ships. Common drawbacks include basic or dated rooms—some small or sparsely furnished, and missing items like a microwave, toaster, table or chairs—as well as thin walls or early housekeeping noise. On-site dining and bar are frequently unavailable or closed, so guests rely on breakfast packs or nearby options; a few report minor maintenance or odor issues. Expect a simple, convenient stopover focused on ferry travel.

Stayed here to catch early morning ferry. Needed to be nearby as we had to leave our hire car at the airport (phone the local taxi company number in the room guest book to travel the short distance back from the airport - there is no taxi rank or even taxi number out there). Easy 15min walk to terminal, though signage not great for foot passengers. We had a nice room facing out to water, well equipped and clean. On a Sunday night hotel bar and cafe closed and not much nearby if you have no car to go out to eat. Useful shop on corner to ‘self cater’. Hotel worked well for us and we’d definitely stay again.

We arrived off the ferry in the evening and the late self check in details worked well. The building is quite basic to look at but inside, the facilities were very clean and the bathroom/ kitchenette areas were very clean and modern. The room was also a decent size. Although you can hear neighbours, it was very quiet for the one night we were there and we slept well. Wi-Fi also worked well.

When we turned on the air con unit the smell coming from the unit was terrible. The smell was like animal urine. We had it on for 3 minutes and the smell was horrific. We had to vent the room which made it cold. Consequently we left one day early and obviously lost our money. Would not recommend this motel.

Instructions to enter room outside of reception hours were easy to understand. Unfortunately the tv only received 1 channel our entire stay so we couldn’t watch tv. Also the room smelled as if it had been shut without airing for too long, we had to leave the door open for a couple of hours when we arrived.

The hotel is owned by Spirit of Tasmania and is well set up for travelers coming that way. Good breakfast pack for the morning. They have figured it out how to allow guests to arrive without someone being there for checkin and while disconcerting at first, it works quite well. Very appreciative of the front desk host who helped us sort a taxi to the airport. Also allowed us to have a slightly late check out- very kind!

This place doesn’t impress from the outside and the lack of a human presence between 4 pm and 10am is strange to say the least in a hospitality venue. However the check in and out was without incident. The whole place was extremely clean and quiet. There was a breakfast pack provided and the Spirit berth was a hop skip and a jump away. The incoming ship provided a reliable wake up call.
