What guests think
At The Formby Hotel, travelers highlight strong value and a convenient location near the Spirit of Tasmania, with many praising clean, comfortable rooms and friendly, helpful staff that make short stopovers and budget stays straightforward and stress-free.
The property is in an older building, so facilities and decor feel dated, access is via stairs with no lift, and noise from creaky floors, doors, or outside can occasionally disturb light sleepers. On-site dining is frequently praised for quality and convenience, supporting late arrivals or quick meals. A practical choice if you prioritize convenience over frills.
