6/10 Good

The Putaruru Hotel has definitely seen better days. The photos of the outside were taken at least a decade ago. When we showed up it was looking very drab. All of the common areas like the bar, ballroom and lounge have been locked up. The lounge had a huge stack of mattresses in it. It's a bit sad to see how glamorous the building must have been and now it has been neglected. There was a strong smell of damp, carpet cleaner and cigarettes in the corridor. The concierge was very friendly and helpful, the room was clean. We weren't bothered by any noise from the street or from other guests. I think this hotel might have quite a few longterm residents based on what could be seen on windowsills from the street. We had a really delicious dinner at the Indian restaurant across the road.

Best accommodation in Putararu
Grand old hotel that has seen better days. Room was clean and spartan, linoleum, bed, 2 chairs, table, side table, TV, closet, shelves. Bed was VERY COMFORTABLE. Bathroom, I was not keen to use. Bath with shower, wash basin and toilet. The shower curtain should have been thrown out as was EXTREMELY dirty along the bottom.

10/10 Exceptional

I’ve given this 5 stars because I feel the owner needs a chance…I’ll explain myself. At one time this hotel would have been very grand, with rooms for every purpose. I think the owner has bought it and is trying to make a successful business of it. There is much that needs doing…but if you can ignore the flaking paint, it is clean, new items have been bought for the room, the bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in, and the sheets were top quality. Even the pillows were new. A new kettle and fridge were in the room, and a plug-in radiator. There was an electric blanket. Yes the carpets were worn…but clean. The bathroom even had a tiny slot for used razor blades…which indicates the age of the building. The owner owns the cafe next door and was busy cooking…and looking after reception. He was pleasant and helpful and I wish him luck with this enormous task that he has taken on.
