Gateway Hotel by Nightcap Plus

Clean and good location. Great service.

Comfortable beds, clean room but bathroom needs attention with mould. Way too small for 5 people.

Loved our stay here highly recommend

房間很乾凈，設施一應俱全，有免費的停車場，小鎮本身人不多，所以酒店還算蠻安靜的，周邊餐廳基本步行就可以到，有一家非常好吃的海鮮餐廳Prem's Seafood Bar & Grill

德文港畢竟不算很大的城市，有這樣質量的酒店就還不錯了。下船時候已經蠻晚的了，酒店周邊環境如下圖。整體設施不錯，衞浴蠻乾淨的。亮點是能免費洗衣服。

酒店很乾凈，下次還會過來住，房間空間大，設施齊全，唯一的缺點是有點吵。隔音不好。

We had no complaints about our one-night stay at this hotel. Our room clean and spacious (incl bathroom), comfy queen-size bed, excellent wifi and little extraneous noise - which we were worried about with a view of the port out of our window. The CBD is just a short stroll away. Dining room also pleasant (and busy) with a good range of dinner options, and readonably priced

A short notice trip to Devonport over the Easter break gave us a reason to return to The Gateway for an overnight stay. It is a useful central location but despite its CBD setting it is surprising how unobtrusive the traffic noise is generally in our experience if you are on the fourth floor. At a hectic period the receptionist was “grace under pressure” dealing with each guest in an efficient and friendly way that created a very favourable first impression. This goodwill was continued by the staff in the dining area who were busy but amiable, smiles go along way in soothing tired travellers and the genuine interactions were appreciated. A shared serving of duck spring rolls for starters was a nice nibble along with our wines. Then curried scallops and the lamb roast were satisfying main dishes. We had reached our limits so dessert offerings were not explored but appeared popular with nearby diners. Our buffet breakfasts had a good selection to pick from and the options for cooked dishes were also appealing and seemed reasonably priced.

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.
