Devere Hotel

( 1 star , Sydney , Australia )

The staff was extremly helpful and went out of their way to make us comfortable. The location was very good for me because I arrived via Navy ship and the peir was very close and the hotel was very close to the train station. I thought it was a great place for a discounted value. I would stay there agian.

The room we had (428) was tucked in at the back of the building; the only window in the room faced a three wall ventilation fan area with what seemed to be high noise level 24/7. Could not really leave windows open for fresh air because the noise was just to irritating. The saviour was the air conditioning. The room had an old tired smell which got overtaken by the room spray device which was overpowering, unpleasant and artificial. Again the air conditioning saved the day. The lift shaft was right behind one of the walls. So we heard the lift door when ever some body entered or left the lift. Luckily we were out every day. If we would have chosen to stay in the room on a rainy day it would not have been a enjoyable time - it would have been clostraphobic. The television channel selection was minimal, not what I would have expected in the middle of the Sydney CBD.

Service and Managament is sucks. We were supposed to stay there for 9 days but we check in and out at the same day. We felt unsafe and surroounding area is very dangerous. Manager of the Hotel didn't even ask why are we checking out "he just said No refund". All they care about it Money.

Both the front office staff members that we dealt with were quite pleasant, professional and accommodating. However, I believe that the front office supervisor (female) was very rude and most unprofessional. We requested an extension of an additional night, were informed that the room was available but the same rate could not be extended. In frustration, we left walked around the corner and got a room at the Holiday Inn at the same price (but a much more modern and pleasant hotel). No doubt we would be recommending the Holiday Inn in Potts Point to our numerous friends and business associates. Pity! Sorry that it is not totally positive but sometimes the truth must be said. I didn't like the De Vere Hotel! Sincerely"

Well located with friendly helpful staff and excellent value for Sydney.

De Vere hotel offers great service-very helpful staff.

great value for the price Great value for the price paid and it's close to the railway station etc.

The Da Vere Hotel was very pleasant. It is very well situated in Potts Point which is a real nice area. Also, it is near Kings Cross which is very interesting area. The staff were friendly and polite.

Not suitable for wheelchairs or prams - stairs down to reception and up to lifts.

Well located in Kings Cross, close to restaurants and night attractions.
