There is not a lot of choice when looking for a place to stay in Devonport - so our key criteria was being within walking distance of the town centre and having free on-site car parking. First impressions of the hotel when we walked in was that it was very dated and in need of a major renovation - there were obviously some areas which had been refurbished such as the front reception but most of the areas need a significant overhaul. Our room was downstairs on the ground floor and walking down the stairs it felt like we were going down to the basement - the carpets needed replacement and the walls repainting. The room itself, a family room was very spacious for just two people - had plenty of storage space, decent work desk, large key sized bed, decent working a/c, though the Wi-Fi was slow with limited bandwidth. Even though the decor in the room was tired and worn, the bathroom had been refurbished the bed was relatively new (nice plush mattress and clean bed linen). The room overlooked the rear car parking area, which meant I could keep a check on the car, not that I was expecting a view given the relatively cheap room rate ($110/night as opposed to $176/night). The room however was relatively dark, with only a single window. We took advantage of the QR code room service for our breakfast option, due to its connivence - the food was alright (not amazing) and on occasions was cold/warm rather than hot. The timing of housekeeping was a bit erratic, as sometimes when we arrived back after lunch it still hadn't been done and other times it was done as soon as we left in the morning. Resupplies to the room by housekeeping was also inconsistent, sometimes we had hand towels and bathmats replaced other times we were left without. Same with tissues and water bottles. The rear car parking area had CCTV cameras, so I was comfortable with the surveillance/security however if you got back later in the evening there wasn't a lot of vacant bays, and we were there when the hotel was relatively quiet - I could imagine parking would be at a premium when it is busy. You do get a fair bit of noise in the morning from the trucks offloading liquor to the bottle shop (reversing beepers/crashing of bottles etc) The laundry and the gym area were really hammered and had obviously see better days - though the gym did have clean towels and fresh water bottles, when I could access it. There is only one washing machine and one clothes dryer - so you need to closely watch when other people's loads finish as otherwise you could be up half the night doing your laundry. In summary don't hold any high expectations about the Gateway Hotel, it is what it describes itself as - a centrally located 3 star hotel.
A wonderfull experience had! Elegant home, decorated and furnished with antiques throughout. Rooms warm and inviting, again beautifully furnished with antiques. A very comfortable bed, slept soundly. A large relaxing verandah offering a quiet place to sit, have a drink and to enjoy the view all day long! Great location, easy short walk to town centre. Delicious breakfast included. Highly recommended!!
มีความสุขกับการเข้าพักที่นี่เป็นอย่างมากและจะพักที่นี่ในครั้งต่อไปที่ Devonport ไม่มีคําถาม! Pat and Adrian เป็นเจ้าบ้านที่อบอุ่นและต้อนรับอย่างอบอุ่นและฉันมีความสุขมากกับการขาดเสียงรบกวนจากห้องพักอื่นๆ ห้องพักของฉันสะอาดและสะดวกสบายและถึงแม้การจัดวางห้องน้ําจะใช้งานได้น้อยกว่าที่ฉันต้องการแต่ฉันก็ไม่ได้มีปัญหาใหญ่เลย Highly recommend!
Only there for a meal - first night in Tasmania so needed to sort out a meal and this was closest to our accommodation (Air BnB). Place was almost booked out but staff rallied around and sorted us a table. ordered food and wine and enjoyed our evening - food was very good and service was excellent. A bit noisy but they were busy with a number of parties going on.
ผผู้เข้าพักI love staying here – it really is a home away from home. Bev and Martin are wonderful hosts, the breakfasts are divine, and the a**osphere is charming and comfortable, with lovely complimentary extras like home-baked cookies and port in the evenings. We loved heading off on the walking paths to see the beautiful Hawley and Shearwater beaches, and the wooden fishing boats at Port Sorell – for keen photographers, there are photo opportunities everywhere!
