Lovely hotel

Reviewed By mdjellie

Very quiet room with a very comfortable bed. Great staff who were welcoming and very attentive. Good location with easy walking distance to city and across road from Hagley Park. Only gave 4 stars as our meal in the restaurant wasn't quite up to expectation.

Reviewed By SarahH11530

Merivale Manor deserves it high praise.. I stayed three nights in the Manor House in a beautiful room upstairs which was sunny & secure. Very convenient to Merivale Village & easy walk into the city centre. The room is beautifully decorated, bed luxurious and the shower is exceptional. The hosts are very welcoming & the property is fastidiously maintained.

Reviewed By MAScelly

From the friendly, warm hosts to the beautifully appointed unit I could not praise this motel enough. The beds and pillows were comfortable and spotlessly clean, the bathroom immaculate and the overall size of the unit was more than adequate for a party of three. The kitchen area was clean and well stocked with tea, coffee and chocolate of a quality brand but there was plunger coffee and small complimentary biscuits as an added extra. (I particularly appreciated the well laid out cutlery and crockery, all very neat and tidy). Overall a well maintained and comfortable motel with helpful hosts, the free shuttle was a bonus. The attention to detail at this motel is exceptional!

Look First

This Motel is on a busy 4 lane road; we experienced road noise to the early hours of the morning, sleep was difficult. Parts of the apartment were modern but the carpet was dirty, the heating poor and lighting dim; the towels had exceeded their Expiry Date. I would not stay here again.

Reviewed By ranfordfarm

Always love it here. We had a lovely room with spa bath. But too late to enjoy it. A fantastic breakfast and a late checkout. It was all good for a night away . Actually the hotel was full and we couldnt get in the night we wanted but the next night a room was found. Felt like Mary at Bethlehem. Good stuff.
