Hotel berhampiran Public Toilet, Auckland

My partner and I had three nights at the Devereux while in Auckland to attend a wedding. The Devereux is well located for activities in Remuera. It's nice and handy to the Remuera shopping village. It was an easy 20 minute walk to Newmarket and access to train and more shopping. The hotel is incredibly tired and in need of maintenance. There's little if any sound insulation from other rooms and as we were downstairs could hear the conversations and activities in the room above us. I had paid additional monies to be in a room with a seating area (couch or similar). The two chairs in our room (the Tuscany Room) were stained and some attempts had been made to treat these stains (see photos). One chair was wet and the other left a powder on our clothing if you sat on it. The tea and coffee cups were stained also. It seems that little if any investment is being made in the property to keep it up to scratch. It's worn, tired, and dirty. The passive-aggressive notes in the room range from annoying to ridiculous.

給安排的是比較新的房間，但是異味也很明顯，我衹能開窗通風。有廚房，但我們這個房型沒有爐具，衹有微波爐。例外房間的隔音非常差，早上很吵，很影響休息。 性價比比較一般

The location is not so good because we need to walk the steep road. The room walls are thin, I heard other people's talking. Otherwise, that was lovely stay!!

I stayed here for two nights in March 2023. The hotel was located close to the venue of my meetings and more or less half way between the central city and airport. It took about 10 minutes up the motorway to the central city and about 20 minutes to the airport (early morning traffic). Across the road there is a petrol station and shop (for snacks etc). There is a Countdown supermarket and McDonalds on the other side of the motorway, just a few hundred metres from the hotel, but you would need to go by car to get across the motorway. The hotel is clean and modern and in line with the usual expectations for an Ibis hotel. The room was fairly large by Ibis standards. There is a bar and restaurant downstairs. My only complaint is that, on the second night, I returned to the hotel at about 9:30pm and the carpark was full. I circled for about ten minutes waiting for a space to become available, but that did not eventuate. I asked the reception where I could park and they indicated the public parking area nearby - about a 1-minute walk away from the hotel. That cost $7.50 for 24 hours. Be aware of this if returning to the hotel at night. I then went to the bar to redeem my drinks voucher but, at 9:52pm, the bar was closing and they wouldn't serve me. I could not get my drink or even think of asking if there were any food options. I don't think that closing the bar that early is good for customer service.

Baik seperti biasa, kecuali kemudahan hotel lama di New Zealand agak ketinggalan zaman tetapi perkhidmatannya hebat dan kakitangannya sangat bersemangat

I loved my upgraded room on the ninth flor and just found the Hotel overall to be an oasis of luxury. This was my first time at this property, and I was really well-treated. I was recognised as a Platinum Member and basically, thoroughly spoiled. I had a very restful night's sleep. The bedding was incredibly soft with crisp, fresh linen galore! Like Macarthur, I shall return!

TLDR: no aircon, constant power cuts, paper thin walls.. Where do I start. First off there’s no aircon so the rooms are hot and uncomfortable. There are ducted low speed fans which don’t do much. But the biggest problem is the fact the rooms are on what I believe to be motion sensors or some kind of timers so ALL power turns off every 25 seconds, this is not an exaggeration. This includes the lights, jug, the fan - everything. I stubbed my toes in the dark because the lights turned off while I was walking around, and they wouldn’t turn back on. Showering in the dark due the lights constantly on and off. Good luck making a coffee, showering, watching TV or anything without that being interrupted by constant power cuts which drive you mad. I booked the small room. They look small in the photos but even smaller in person and I felt like I was suffocating, the rooms are tiny so heat up like crazy. The smallest hotel room I’ve ever seen. Also the walls are paper thin so I could hear my neighbours conversations word for word.. even with ear plugs. If there was air con and sound proof walls, I could have put up with the extremely small space. Terrible experience. Don’t even bother with this place. The Abstract had a lot of potential as they have decorated it very nicely but they have let themselves down. It is also in a dangerous area of Auckland central so you will want to make sure you are back in your room by dark, lots of drunk homeless people around. After my first night of zero sleep due to the heat, stuffiness and neighbours chatting, I complained and had my room kindly upgraded to a larger one, but the same issues remained of constant power cuts and no air con in that room too. At least it was a bit cooler due to being larger and an extra window, also had no neighbours.. The customer service was pretty good. There is no parking on site so you have to park in a carpark building across the road. The food in the restaurant was average but has a beautiful outdoor dining area which was the highlight.

The check-in was smooth and quick very helpful. Unfortunately during our stay our dining experience was far from what was advertised and the food wasn't fresh at all we left very disappointed. The dining staff were not very understanding of our requirements and appeared to be out of touch with there job description.

You get what you pay for and this hotel was the best deal in town when I visited, short of staying in a hostel. Great location close to the train and the Arena. The hot water in the shower was powerful and plentiful, and so was the wifi, the two top things I look for in a room. However there are no frills. There is no shelf in the shower, meaning you have to lay your soap, shampoo, razor and anything else you take in there on the floor. There is no plug for the bathroom sink. There is one small metal writing desk and that is the only surface to lay things on, no drawers or dressers or bedside tables. The walls are thin and a couple of nights my noisy neighbors woke me up. Bring earplugs. I found the staff efficient and mildly friendly if you put in the effort to make them feel good. Having said that, I'd absolutely stay again. The price, the shower, the location and the wifi make this an excellent low cost option for staying in the city
