Ezibed.com Customer Reviews for The Devon Hotel & Conference Centre

"Absolutely loved the surroundings. It was so modern and fresh that it made us feel very welcome. The room was perfect. The bathroom was superior and there was nothing to fault the service or the hotel. Highly recommend the Devon for everybody who visits New Plymouth." Kitty Young, 4 April 2012

"They were two hot nights in a small room with only one small window that could be opened. Internal air conditioner too noisy to have on during sleep. An external hotel air conditioner outside the window was very loud and came on intermittently during the night.
Note that while hot drinks can be made there are no utensils or plates for eating or heating a meal." Anonymous, 23 February 2012

"Well appointed rooms. Suitable for a range of ages. Staff friendly and helpful." Elizabeth Higgs, 8 January 2012

The Devon Hotel & Conference Centre Response: Many thanks for the comment, we look forward to welcoming you back.

"We arrived earlier than their checkin time (before 10a.m.) but they were very accommodating and found us a serviced room immediately. The room more than met our expectations and requirements." Cheryl Potter, 26 October 2011

"Was a great stay. Spacious, warm room and value for money. My only suggestion would be for the bathrooms to be looked at as when the shower was on it was flooding the bathroom." Adrienne Uerata, 23 August 2011

"The room had no pillow cases. Only 3 towels for 5 people and no plug for the bath tub." Kathy Prentice, 3 August 2011

"The hotel is obviously undergoing major renovation work, we were put in a room where work was being done right outside our window on the ground floor and in the room next door, none of this was communicated when booking in. The hotel staff were very accomodating when we asked to be moved though. Clean, smart, modern rooms and very friendly helpful staff. Maintenance has to be done but notification so you can make an informed choice before booking, or at least when checking in would have made a big difference." AF, 20 June 2011

"There was only one problem that when I was in the shower the water stopped! As the room next door turned on there shower so standing with shampoo in my hair and no water which was not great!" Andrea Harris, 20 May 2011

"Nice, clean rooms and friendly staff. Pleasant stay." Stephen, 1 April 2011

"We enjoyed our stay, the studio room was small but clean, however the air-conditioning unit outside window was noisy. The facilities offered were great and we would stay again but request a room away from ventilation system." Anonymous, 10 February 2011

"I stayed in a clean fresh reno room. It was quiet apart from the cistern in the wall filling up. Staff friendly helpful and Rm service prompt. TV good with discovery and sky." Johan Van Hooff, 5 February 2011

"We really enjoy our stay at the Devon awesome resturant great little bar BUT the only thing we were dissapointed with was the parking we had to leave our car out on the street which I wasn't to pleased about" Terry Buckton, 2 February 2011

"The pool and spa were really nice, and the rooms were nicely decorated. It was a wee bit noisy and the staff weren't all that friendly. The broadband access was handy though." Anonymous, 5 December 2010

"Small room but very nicely furnished and room looked onto the garden which was nice. Hotel is on the main road but not walking distance from main downtown. Loud pipes so we could hear the water running next door all the time. Spa was nice but the buffet dining area looks out onto it so there are people just watching you while they eat.
The staff were great! Really friendly." Anonymous, 20 November 2010

"A little disappointing with the rooms, they were very compact, there was little in the way of sound proofing (bring earplugs) and the water pressure in the shower was the worst I have ever experienced when the room next door used water the pressure dropped further to a dribble not what one expects in this day and age." Anonymous, 8 November 2010

"It was a lovely relaxing place, the room had a view out to the sea and over the garden." Kevin Duthie, 31 October 2010

"Customer Services was great and appearance of foyer, restaurant and room were faultless.
We stayed in room 871 and feel it was too small for 2 people. There wasn't room for a luggage rack to put a suitcase on and when you had to practically slide between the end of the bed and the wall (our shoulders knocked the TV on the wall a few times)" Sue Davidson, 28 October 2010

"Clean, tidy and friendly staff." Anonymous, 4 October 2010

"My wife & I came up from the Kapiti Coast for my son's Wedding and could not fault the service & hospitality." Ken Souto, 1 October 2010

"Very good. Rooms clean and fresh, and very quiet. The lounge and restaurant were also very welcoming, good quality breakfast. Will stay again." Anonymous, 25 August 2010

"The Devon Hotel was fantastic. The staff were great and very helpful and friendly. The rooms were spotless and roomy with everything we needed. Having the restaurant (Marbles) downstairs was a great bonus for us at Dinner time and breakfast." Ross & Vicki Aylett, 27 July 2010

"Nice room and great value with free broadband access included. My room was at the front and there was some traffic noise starting quite early - otherwise I would rate it higher as everything else was very good." David Hopkinson, 26 July 2010

"Good clear unit with a nice view across the ocean. Very close to the city and board walk. Good value if you book it as a special" Michelle, 19 July 2010

"My Wife and I really enjoyed our stay . The room was nice,clean and warm. The beds were comfortable and the TV was excellent with plenty of chanels including in house movies. The restaurant was fantastic with both food and staff. The bar was great with cheery staff.
There were a couple of small hiccups but they were resolved quickly by the nice helpful staff.The location was handy to the Central city." Anonymous, 16 July 2010

"When I was allocated a business room i did expect better facilities and felt the room was no different from a small studio, old style motel room." Robyn Weston, 11 July 2010

"Very good, I enjoyed it." Peter Nally, 7 June 2010

"I liked the look when I arrived. My son's room was great but he is 6'3 and the bed in his particular room was a bit short for him. Otherwise they really enjoyed their stay and room. We had a musty smell in our room. The coffee plunger was odd the inside plunge part was too big and I ended up with a cup full of beans (told staff should be fixed). Great shower and comfy bed. The outlook over the pool and yard was pleasant and relaxing. Would stay again and recommend to others." Raewyn White, 28 May 2010

"Very good value." Anonymous, 18 May 2010

"Excellent value for money, nice swimming pool, lovely quiet good sized room with view of the mountain if the clouds had only parted. Really clean, friendly staff, fast free internet connection. Bit far to walk to CBD but quiet as a result." Susan P, 29 April 2010

"The business room was simple but clean enough, strangely it had 3 separate beds within it. The tea making facilities left a lot to be desired namely one needed to fill the jug up with a cup as the only faucet was in the bathroom which did not allow the jug to fit under it!!
The closet for the clothes was somewhat makeshift not actually a closet and everytime it opened it hit the "return" on the entrance door to the room. The exterior windows were very old and could not be shut properly.
The buffet restaurant and bar were however a pleasant change, was one of the best buffets I have ever visited, the food tasted fresh and there was a great selection and the atmosphere was good. Would recommend to anyone, the "captains Table" is also a great idea." Anonymous, 1 March 2010

"Very noisy swimming pool area used by children of parents at the buffet which spoilt Monday evening. All swimming pool rules were constantly broken. Otherwise very good value for money." Anthony OConnor, 29 January 2010

"Great value for money" Patrick Menown, 20 January 2010

"Fantastic stay. Rooms very comfortable, as was the price. Staff very obliging and helpful. A fire alarm was managed professionally and the added bonus of a free breakfast more than made up for any inconvenience. Will definitely stay there again." Lyndsay Hikuroa, 18 October 2009

"Would have been nice upon check in to be told about hotel features - heated pool, ourdoor spa etc." Anonymous, 1 October 2009

"Room was musty. Bathroom very poor. Buffet Meals first class." Tristar, 19 September 2009

"Lovely room. Bathroom could supply one extra large towel. Lovely staff, very accommodating." Janice Saifoloi, 19 August 2009

"Phone didn't work then started beeping at 4am. Room service menu very poor and staff not very helpful at all." Anonymous, 24 July 2009

"Certainly provided everything we needed and staff were very pleasant." Dianne Roberts, 7 July 2009

"Excellent standard of accommodation with everything you need for business including wireless internet and an excellent dining room with fast self-service. Staff were pleasant, helpful and cordial. Highly recommend." Anonymous, 29 May 2009

"Great value for money booking thorugh Ezibed.com." Anonymous, 28 May 2009

"The overall experience was great. The room was clean, tidy and comfortable. The down side was there was no drawers to put clothes in although there was a wardrobe with hangers and while the bed was comfortable it was short being as I presume it was only a double. Reception was effiecient and polite. The bar was comfortable and good value, a good place to relax or meet people." Anonymous, 28 May 2009

"We were happy with our stay but on arrival the remote for the T.V. was missing. This did not appear until we came back to the hotel on the Saturday evening. Annoying when you live with a T.V. addict! Other than that it was a very pleasant stay. Thank you." Anonymous, 14 May 2009

"We had an awesome stay, we were given 2 double beds, there was plenty of parking and the restaurant looked good, I would have gone there if we had got to the motel earlier. We enjoyed the complimentary bikes and rode along the boardwalk. Extreme value for money." Carolyn Chizmar, 7 May 2009

"This was our 2nd time at the Devon, but the first in that part of the complex. My only criticism is access to the upper floors. Not easy with heavy bags. Did not see any lifts." Sue Steer, 30 April 2009

"The room was spacious - we appreciated the extra bed, great open view from window, friendly staff, great to have access to internet." Anonymous, 23 April 2009

"We enjoyed our stay and used the bar and restaurant facilities." Graham, 9 April 2009

"Very nice, clean room, with not too bad view. However, the room got the afternoon sun and did not have air conditioning so was very hot during the late afternoon and into the night. Otherwise the hotel was very nice and well presented. Comfortable room." Anonymous, 26 March 2009

"Very very poor ventilation." Dazhi He, 12 February 2009

"Accomodation was very comfortable and very good standard. The hotel is very well presented and the staff were of an extremely high standard, very pleasant and helpful. I felt at home and relaxed the moment I walked up to reception. An excellent place to stay and I shall be using the hotel again should I visit New Plymouth in the future." James Fulton, 2 February 2009
