“Not a diamond, but quite nice, though far away from services”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 March 2011

It was the last 3 days to spent in NZ and had to have a place where to stay, since the pervious 20 days had gone with Motorhome from Auckland to Queenstown.

This was our pick, since the web-site looked quite nice.

Everything else was quite ok, but the biggest dilemma was the breakfast, since it was not always inclueded in the room price, yet we had booked the room with breakfast. Also the quality and variety of the breakfast was far from what we are used to.

The room that we got was with queen bed as booked, it had a united toilet/bathtub/shower, which was quite ok. Also AC, TV, cableinternet, waterboiler on the side of the room table was available.

Most important piece of info might be, that instead of taking any of the busses driving along the mount wlleington highway you should go to Westfield trainstation where you can step in to the commutertrain to get e.g. Sylvia Park or Down Town. During the day the buss system was a quite of a mess, but coming back appr. midnight time, it was supersmooth and stopped even at the hotel, yet it was not on the buss route.

So far away from City, but good sleep for the money you have to pay. Nice and flexible service at the CheckIn desk and even possibility to store you stuff durin the last day before departing to hotel, so that you avoid dragging all the 4 trolleys with you around the city.

“Average place with a touch of the Pacific”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2011

This place is ok depending on which room you get. The executive rooms are much better than the other rooms down below. Room service needs improving. One night I phoned to be told there was no room service that night because they had a group booking. On another night the wait was going to be over an hour so I decided to have KFC instead. There is no control over noise form other guests either therefore not a good place to stay if you are a light sleeper. On a positive the pacific island staff a lovely and it gives you a little hint of being in Fiji.

“The poorest quality hotel I've ever stayed at”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The pictures and tag line for this hotel are very misleading.... there is nothing luxury or quality... the shower stall had cracks in it, there was mould in the shower head, the toilet roll holder was hanging off the wall with only one screw. There was no dresser, no closet and the carpet was dirty... stayed for only a few hours before rebooking elsewhere. Found a beautiful hotel with nice appointments a few blocks away for only $6 difference... this hotel is over priced and over sold, don't buy into the pictures. Horrible experience.

“Hosting a group of 48 age range 7years old to 86 year old”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2010

Organising this trip for 48 travellers was a mammoth job. But my job was made easier with the unconditional assistance of the manager and staff of this accommodation. The facilities was comfortable and suited the wide range ages that we had staying at this accommodation for 3 nights and 3 days.
Some of us were fortunate to have a meal at the restaurant which was "yummmmy".
I highly recommend Mount Richmond Hotel and Conference centre for large groups and even for just a getaway!!

Thank you to Steve, Sharon, Chand, Ruth, Mere and Tu
