"We requested a quieter room as we are light sleepers and as there is still some construction on Victoria St (not as much noise now as construction is completing)."

Breakfast was a highlight. The fresh apple cider, made in NZ, was excellent and worth the trip alone.

Fantastic Stay!

central locationfriendly staffspacious room

The location is central! It is a quick five-minute walk to many large retail stores. The staff was so communicative. The room was surprisingly spacious. It was larger than I expected!

The air conditioning seemed to be on, but the room felt a bit warm, I think a portable fan would improve things.

the staff was amazing and accommodated me! they cleaned my room every day. i found the hotel situated in a great area, close to major attractions.

the room smelt very strongly of bleach, it was almost unbearable and gave me a headache. i had to leave the windows open. for some reason i had to pay an additional $100 bond, given back to us at the end of our stay after the room check.
