10/10 Exceptional

Great location

Centrally located next to the Cathedral, the hotel is lovely. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I had to borrow a convertor for the electric plug as I forgot mine. The hotel was walking distance to lovely restaurants and shops. We are at the hotel the first night, the food was very good, the drinks were very good from the bar. It's a short walk to the trolley station if you want to get an overview of the area. Don't miss the Botanical Park or the Art Museum, both free and.lovely!!

Good central location. Just walk to all spots of interest.
Roy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

An old hotel that had underwent upgrades and become a modern establishment but maintaining old school flavours. Large rooms and bathroom with jacuzzi. Central in location and walkable to all the attractions. Excellent hotel to stay.
Yew Seong, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room felt luxurious and was very clean. The check in process was easy and the staff were incredibly helpful with luggage and with finding ice. The valet parking was a bit expensive ($35NZD) and self parking is not an option. Overall the hotel is worth the price.

Space enough for 5

A great location with everything we needed in walking distance. Very comfortable beds. As a family of 5 we did have to call reception each day for towels as not enough were left. But they arrived very quickly when we did. Lovely staff. Would happily stay again.
