“thank god we stayed because we had to”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

person found this review helpful

a group of us drove south for a mates bachelor party unfortunately during the rugby world cup 2011

this was pretty much only place that accomodate 10 blokes at the last minute so close to town

at arrival a heavily tattoed guy with sleeves rolled up said wassup
he proceeded to finish what ever he was doing on the computer for next 2 min

the hotel lift feels like a death trap as it jerks violently every time it stops so we took the stairs from there on

this is a no frills hotel, no soap shampoo nything in bathroom, half a roll of toilet roll for 4 blokes u kidding me?

corridors are very run down, stained ripped carpet wallpapers

rooms are very very cold and run down, ripped carpets, wallpapers, bed extremely uncomfortable and heating didn't work

for the money they charged us we felt both cheated and were extremely upset at description of it as a 3 star hotel

in a diff circumstance and with options we would have left and asked for a refund for offering such a shabby place for prices we paid

Room Tip: seriously guys if u have option fr same charge per night take it this place needs to be bulldozed do...

“Good for the average travelling kiwi”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

When I arrived I parked the car and met the very pleasant receptionist and a guy pondering over the issue of why the internet was not working. Room on the third floor was very 70s but clean and great for sleeping: the bed was comfortable. TV worked, radio worked and so did the alarm clock. In fact reception gave me a call in the morning. I was catching the interislander for 5 days and was allowed to park my car in their carpark free of charge for that time period: the management also drove me to the ferry terminal building and promised to pick me up when I returned. When I returned sadly the shuttle service was not available and I had to pay $20 for a taxi to get me there from the terminal. However, the free parking saved me $60 and the shuttle to the Ferry another $20. I enjoyed my stay. The new room on my return also on the third floor was great for my sleeping needs. I will definitely return should the same level of service continue.

Room Tip: They all seem identical so I do not think it matters.

“good value budget hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

While very outdated with no money spent on anything, the rooms are clean and tidy. The bedspreads could do with updating, although, again I say, they were clean. Smells a bit musty due to old carpet. Included breakfast was good. You are getting a very cheap stay here, so can't expect the world for the price. Don't stay here if you want any luxury, but if you want budget, which is still clean and tidy, I would recommend. Very well situated with botanic gardens across road, free parking, and bus stop right outside which takes you to central city in about 10 minutes for a couple of bucks.

“I would stay again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

Despite some very mixed reviews this hotel in my opinion is very good value for money and not at all as bad as some previous reviews. Our room was spacious and clean.
The location is excellent with a bus stop right outside.
