    I have stayed often at the Devere, I have always felt happy with my stay. The only issue was the fridge which was loud and I believe overheating at the back, overall stay was comfortable... thank you

    Not the fault of the hotel but its just around the corner from Kings Cross which is a bit of a sleazy area. Lots of sirens and unhinged people outside at night. Strange plumbing in room. Using the bathroom tap would make the toilet run for some reason.

    Good sized, comfy room and close to Kings Cross Station for convenient travel elsewhere. Very nice room for surprisingly low cost.

    The room had a smell and look that suggested a refurbish would be helpful.

    Location was good with the opera house and botanical gardens within walking distance. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. When our cold tap in the bathroom was not working, we were moved very quickly and enjoyed our stay here.

    The iron in the laundry dirtied my shirt ,it needs cleaning , I nearly went to buy a new one, I’m not sure if that’s anything to do with the DeVere , but I think it is somehow associated with the business. Steps at the entrance made lugging a challenge.

    Location is very good . A small window gave a pleasant though limited view of Elizabeth Bay. Aircon was very welcome, also some fresh air from the window. A bath was great. Reception was helpful booking a taxi for me, which was much appreciated.

    The hotel is getting a bit outdated. The carpets are quite old and need to be thoroughly cleaned or replaced. Only view sockets for electrical equipment.

    Affordable room, especially during Christmas holidays. Comfortable but not luxurious, close to Kings Cross, the CBD and Bondi Junction. Nice WiFi (although sometimes quite slow). Very friendly staff.

    If I had to nit pick - the elevator is very slow and small. On one occasion it went up to every floor and stopped before going down to the ground floor. We just used the stairs during busier periods.

    We spent 1 week here from Christmas through to new year and it was very pleasant. We were close to the city and mostly walked everywhere. The staff were very friendly and accommodated us when we asked for towels or when a food order arrived. We had to check in 1 day later due to a flight cancellation and they held our room for us upon request. Self-serve laundry was very useful to have on the premises and there is a woolys right across the street to get detergent from. I would stay here again if I am visiting Sydney.

    an OK one.
    • Business trip

    There wasn't any main light in the bathroom, the only light was the one at the mirror so taking a shower/bathe is a bit dark, didn't bother asking as it would be a hassle and I was also out and about. At the entrance there wasn't any ramp and it's a struggle to drag my luggage same goes when you are leaving that you need to battle the few steps from the stairs, if there's a ramp for easy transport of the luggage that would be great. I also seen and nearly caught a cockroach but I lost it since it was a tiny one and it kinda blended with the color of the carpet.

    Location is good I reckon. My room has a nice view. Staff are so friendly and helpful, they recommend good local restaurants I also noticed that they look so happy and willing to help travelers who seems uncertain.

    It was dated but adds to charm of the heritage building. There was several corridors, luckily our room was pretty straightforward to get to from the lift. It would have been good if the restaurant was operating for breakfast.

    Great location, close to train station and only 30 minutes walk to Allianz Stadium. Comfortable beds, great shower and water pressure. Windows that opened, good view, and very quiet. Man on front desk was so helpful in getting us a taxi.
