The staff member was outstanding. Very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. The property is old and requires a lot of work. Overall based on bang for buck, I’d stay again.

It’s important to keep one’s expectations in check. Is this an immaculate luxury hotel? No, it’s dated and a little rough around the edges. But the bathroom, beds, and shared kitchen were clean. Gurdev, one of the directors, was helpful and friendly and gives out his number in case you need anything. I don’t think there’s air conditioning, but the electric fan kept us very cool and comfortable. We had no problems with noise. The location was within walking distance of many places to eat and things to do. We were a 10-minute Uber ride to the Mitai Māori Village and another quick ride to the airport.

Basic amenities — though a work-in-progress

Very basic amenities. The bed was well made with clean linen though the ‘bunk’ bed did not have a sheet under the blanket — which did not feel great. There were no towels in the bathroom, which was unexpected. And the toilet paper was almost over with no extra rolls in the bathroom. Probably more of a hostel vibe than a hotel/motel — not what I was expecting at the price. However, the management is working on redoing the place … so we can expect improvements

OK for a 1 night stay.

---- Bathroom was kind of gross: the wooden parts (bottom of doorframe) were rotten/darkened (mold?) the shower curtain rod was rusted, the plumbing from the toilet was covered in a dark substance I didn't dare to identify. I also found (stepped on) a small piece of broken glass on the carpet. One of the 2 towels had large discoloration spots. +++ Bed was comfortable. Room was cheap and conveniently located. The lounge room was comfortable and had TV for my 8yrs old. The free coffee and tea in the kitchen was nice.

Below average for the price

The room was very average. The sink backed up, the shower had terrible water pressure when the hot water was added. There was no good airflow so it got very hot. Opening the windows to let air in is a mistake because the air just smells like rotten eggs due to the sulphur beach around the corner. The whole room smelt bad like rotten eggs. On the positive side the owners were very nice, and the wifi was fast. Beds were comfortable.

To what others have mentioned: yes this is an older property with very simple furnishings and design. I booked a single twin room. My room was small, but clean with adequate lighting, a fan, a window, and plenty of charging plug ins-four actually, plus two usb and one lightning plug in. The kitchen was also small but clean and had cutlery, cooking utensils, two fridge/freezers, and two stoves. There’s also a living room with Netflix to relax. Honestly, I thought the price of the stay, friendliness of the front desk, and amenities were perfect, and I’d absolutely stay again. It certainly is older, but it’s obvious the management is working to improve the property. My only suggestion is the bed in room 1 is a a little squeaky and the wood slats could use insulating to reduce the sound. Otherwise, I genuinely have zero complaints about my stay. Loved it. Would stay again. Thank you!
