Top Papamoa Hotel Reviews

Hotel on Devonport

Hotel on Devonport

8/10 Good
"The room was ok but a little less than I thought it would be. No real view of the Harbour. Looking from the balcony our view was of buildings next to us or their roofs Things to consider. Handrails inside the shower. In my case I need assistance to stand and or walk. Handrails would mean security and fear of falling. The shower floor was EXTREMELY slippery. And that was without any soap lather. Needed more in-room information about lighting. How to use the TV remote. We were 2 people but there was only one chair for serving and eating meals. Having a restaurant that only opens Monday to Friday was a disappointment. Fancy not having a restaurant on-site over a weekend. Amazing Luckily we were surrounded by restaurants. We had amazing breakfasts at the Florence Restaurant which is almost next door to the hotel"
