Felt unsafe there as it had obviously not been cleaned. Though the documentation threatened $300 fine for smoking in the room, there was a half smoked roll your own in the bathroom. Cobwebs and other dirty areas, felt I had to wash my hands after touching anything there.

A delightfully warm hello and welcome when I arrived signalled the start of a very comfortable stay. The room had all the amenities expected and some, it was super clean, the bed was very comfortable with great pillow, the shower had excellent pressure and the room was warm. Close by were a range of great eateries. When I checked in restaurants were recommended and a booking was made on my behalf. Great choice. Highly recommend if you want genuine kiwi hospitality and a warm and comfortable accommodation close the city centre. A true super star experience.

I am currently staying at this Hotel for a night. When i first arrived i was put off by the look of the place and the area around it but the owner behind the bar was just so friendly that it immediately made me love this place, even without seeing the room which turned out quite modern and very clean. Would definitely recommend a night or 2 at this place.

Appalling Arrogant Manager

Reviewed By mejohnwoo

I had the most unfortunate experience staying here for business firstly I discovered vomit under the toilet seat then notice something disgusting splashed across the tv screen when I pointed it out the manager insulted kiwi clients for how they treat the rooms rather than apologize he went on to say this is why I am getting out! Well good bloody riddance you Arrogant self entitled twit no customer service skills also as we were here on business and working night shift our room wasn't serviced all three days- no toilet paper no towels no emptying of rubbish bins I absolutely hope the owners see this review and take some action as this idiot doesn't deserve to be in the hospitality industry or even new Zealand in my opinion. What a loser
