De Vos on the Park

This is not worth online booking, may be for locals walk in ok and decide if it’s what you wanted but not for online. I can’t pay $50 to stay in this apartment if I knew the conditions at hand. The location is good but the facilities need 100% renovation or reconstruction. It was a terrible experience staying here, I couldn’t sleep all night that I have to engaged myself with calls and games

It wasn’t what I paid for.( Over paid for crap) It wasn’t up to expectations. The place was run down. Things was falling apart. The place smelt and was very dirty and unhygienic. Had cockroaches running around. Things didn’t work properly.( Lift to go to upper level) Very unorganised with presentation of place. This is one place I would not recommend. Surprised people would stay there??

Got what I paid Really good! In fact I might’ve underestimated De Vos. It’s basic but functions great. Courteous and friendly staff, spacious room with wonderful view of the park and ocean, very comfortable mattress and beddings, cold aircon and hot water.

De Vos is very centrally located in the centre of capital city Suva. Many shops, eateries, restaurants, food courts and wet market are within walking distance. Most convenient to go catch a city bus or long distance bus (for instance to Nadi Airport) at the bus terminal. All rooms have ocean view, those on one side enjoy the Sukuna Park view, the others on the other side Suva City view and Harbour view. The building was formerly YWCA Hotel, therefore rather old and dated, and the hotel is constantly under renovation and repairs. Hence guests may need to exercise patience. Internet is provided on request especially for guests staying for business.

The property is in poor condition, which seems to have been a recurring issue based on past reviews. The housekeeping staff's training is inadequate. Our room had stained bedsheets with holes, and there was no soap or toilet paper. The rooms also stink and hadn't been properly cleaned. Because of this, we decided not to stay once we saw the condition of the room and got our stay refunded. The property doesn't reflect the photos posted online—it definitely needs some serious work.

This hotel was very convenient for the city area and eating places (behind MacDonalds). A little tired looking. Needs maintenance. Staff very helpful to arrange taxis.
