Waited a long time, had to find a waiter to serve us. The food was ok, the veal scallopini linguine was all sauce. We wanted to have a little flutter on the pokies and we checked on their website and it said they closed at midnight but they closed the gaming room at 9.00...on a Friday night!!! NA

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.
