There is more to Putaruru Hotel than meets the eye. An experience ready made to accomodate us. Half way from home to our regular holiday destination - we will be back again .

Our one night was good although the bed was to hard and the night life bar fights noisy in all not a bad place to stay could do with a fridge in the room as there was no where for cold drinks and the guests fridge was full of food

Excellent accommodation with all facilities.
Tiju, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This place was nice enough. Room was quiet and clean and a good place to stop off for the night. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a communal kitchen area that had seen better days but was clear the staff were trying to make the place better through renovations. Parking across the street was fantastic. Good place to stay on a budget.
Max, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Filthy old building with some very lazy renovation work. Had the joy of listening to a permanent resident beat his wife for most of the first night. Do not stay here unless you have zero other choice.
Nathan, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hotel should say that they need renovations
Martha, 1-night trip

We didn’t have a fridge in our room however the manager offered us a room with a fridge in it. It was very nice and thoughtful of him for the offer but we were happy with the room we had. He offered a great Service!
Ellen, 1-night trip

We were made very welcome, it is run-down but has lots of character and potential.
Alan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Building just a little run down, we had curtains that didnt fit the windows and broken windows just taped up with masking tape and paint peeling off the surfaces. Bed was comfortable and clean and tidy

Great example of art deco architectural style and grace.
Kerstin, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Windows tied to radiator to keep them closed. No hot water for showering. Staff not prepared to compensate for lack of hot water and just seemed to not care.
Corina, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The showers have no lighting and was leaking into the room making the carpet wet and as this was up stairs the room below would have been wet also. I rang and reported it but it seemed they weren’t overly concerned
Ted, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

An opportunity to go back in time if you love old buildings. Rare to find original building like this. I totally enjoyed my visit.
Vanessa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a lovely hotel which was once built for the queen's potential visit.

6/10 Good

Management was poor and zero parking onsite wasn’t very impressed as had to park very far away, bed etc was clean but room itself seemed a little damp and had spider webs all over as well as mold on bathtub
Ethan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very reasonable cost for a comfortable stay, but may not suit others used to luxury accommodation. Would be great to see the hotel restored to former glory.
