The room wasn't spotless but clean enough. We arrived very tired and late at night and the man helping us was understanding and friendly and made checking in easy. The bathroom was spacious, so was the room.

Liked: Cleanliness
Great staff member who came to open reception for me after 11 pm. Great friendly communication prior to arrival.
I had room 5 and it was perfectly clean and comfortable. Good bed and shower and quiet neighborhood. Very convenient position when coming from the late ferry then travelling up north. It was appropriate for the price.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Was okay, not as welcoming as the first time I stayed and I would have preferred a room at the back rather than by the road.( Which I had requested in booking notes). Clean and spacious though. Will stay again.

Liked: Room comfort
The place is clean and very good value for your money. The location is also excellent since it is very close to the mall.
Reception is unattended most of the time but it wasn't a major issue for us. Checkin and checkout is a breeze. The staff/cleaner was very helpful as well.
Tidy comfortable but tired accommodation- price reflective so that’s ok. Staff was nice to Deal with and if I had some constructive criticism it would be please fix the front door lock and keep the shower curtain updated at all times, no one wants to shower with pink/red/black mould on it shower curtain. A cheap fix by replacing it would make a difference. Overall pleasant experience

Average hotel
Quiet hotel, fairly conveniently located to get into Wellington, clean but a bit dated and in need of a bit of tlc.
Was good for 1 night stay. King size bed was comfortable. Room was spacious & clean. Shower door did not fully close, fridge door may need a new seal? Good value for money.
