Negative Reviews
negative:
Not all facilities are in good working order.
Unfortunately some of the facilities offered here can be faulty. Things like hairdryers not working and ironing boards not standing up properly are a regular occurrence. If you have any problems report them immediately to reception.
negative:
There is no free Wi-Fi available here.
One profit-boosting method used by the hotel is to charge you for using the Wi-Fi. Unless you desperately need to use the internet try to wait until you go to a nearby cafe or pub where you can use it for free.
negative:
It's an old hotel that is getting rather shabby.
DeVere has certainly seen better days and could do with a complete renovation. Worn out carpets, marks on the walls and dated decorating makes this place less than appealing when you first walk in.
