Staff was fairly friendly, decor was simple, beds were exceptionally comfortable. Comfortable bedroom. The location was decent, within walking distance of Archives New Zealand. We liked a nice restaurant. The service was good and the food was great. Moreover, parking was on-site.

Such an extra special experience. I loved the beds, they were good, and how lovely the staff was. The poolside restaurant had fantastic food and friendly service. The room was uniquely decorated and reasonably priced. The hotel was next to ferry and supermarket downstairs thanks to its absolutely perfect location. Also, parliament buildings was located in the immediate surroundings.

Hotel is marvelous, rooms are well cleaned, qualified staff. It is equipped with a sauna, which is a bonus. Location is ideal, not too far from a wooden cathedral. Excellent pool, superb views.

Room was good standard and super convenient, and breakfast was comprehensive! The staff were happy to help and gladly accommodated all my requests. Spacious suite and comfy bed. Restaurant was small and fairly clean. It was an immediate hotel in a very comfortable area.

The room had really bad views.

The view from the window was great. I enjoyed that my room had a terrace. One could dine at restaurants such as Sierra Cafe 10 minutes away.
