“The exterior and interior premises of the Devonport Novatel are new and extremely masculine and angular. The interior is very dark. It might be suitable for a wake. Everything is black. It has no character, no invitingness in its furnishings. That said the staff are the opposite: helpful, cheery and pleasant. The valet parking vs a 100 metre park away walk with luggage makes life unnessarily difficult. While huge areas on the water front side are given over to green, the valet parking area on the main entrance is a shoe box size making for unnessarily stressful time limits and squeez. So all in all, whilst the staff were terrific, I found the internal ambience sombre and male conference dictated. Arrival and departure by car is difficult. Not a place for the traveler, other than it is close to the interstate ferry terminal. And that's it's pull factor. But its design is strictly from a masculine conference orientation and pitch. A pity. If could have been so much better and so very different given it's water harbour front location. ”

“I stayed in the spa room and loved that aspect of it but the rooms overall are tired and I thought it was a little expensive for the condition. There was also a wifi connectivity issue with the tv. That being said, great location, clean, very comfortable bed and the staff were absolutely lovely. ”

“Near to city centre by car. Great walks around the coast just at the park. Comfortable cabins. Spacious toilet.”

“Pleasantly surprised that there is a communal kitchen which is very helpful to prepare for our trip on Spirit of Tasmania. ”

“Nice clean accommodation and a restful night was had.”

“Its clean, it got the necessary stuff for a quick stop. 7 minutes to Spirit of Tasmania boarding. Good base hotel for Cradle Mountain, Launceston and Stanley day trips. It got a decent bistro.”

“Good value and nice location Bathroom a bit outdated and a roll out single bed ”

“We would definitely stay there again. ”

“Very nice place, staff are helpful. Close to beach. ”
