The staff/owners here are incredibly friendly and helpful. The bed was soft, the room was clean and seemed relatively recently refurbished. The area doesn’t seem particularly nice, and there was some noise at night which woke me up.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel beds were the best I have ever slept on and I have travelled a lot! The hotel itself needed some TLC but it was safe, quiet, and comfortable. It was perfect for our family of 4. The owner was warm and welcoming. He even review his plans for renovations as he just purchased the hotel less than a year ago. I expect this place to be beautiful once the renovation are completed. I highly recommend this hotel!

The manager went out of his way to help us. We left our bags in the office because we arrived late in the evening from the train, and wanted to get food. When we came back to check in, he had taken our bags to our room for us. Such a nice man, and told us about things. This is a verynice place to stay.

2/10 Poor

Not what we paid for

I have worked for more than 15 years , managing and cleaning in motels. When I made the booking online, the unit looked bright, clean and spacious. I took note of the room layout , size etc. The room given ,was completely different from what I was led to believe I had booked. It was small, cramped ,very dated, no nets on the bedroom windows, curtains hanging. Electrical tape over cracks in the bathroom door. Cracks in the walls and ceiling. An upside down shower mixer and thread bare shower curtain. No milk was offered , we had to go ask at the office for the wifi password. The managers were nice enough but barely onsite. One of our group checked out early being so disappointed with the room. I would never stay here again.

The property is a bit dated but the hosts more than make up for that. Had an issue with being given a studio unit rather than the one bedroom unit that was booked on this site but the hosts moved us to a bigger unit as soon as they could. Easy off street parking and convenient to the city centre.

Booking Cancelled

Unfortunately there was an issue with my room which meant my booking was cancelled but the team made good by booking me in to another motel which was a budget accommodation but apparently it was more expensive than my original booking at the Aotea Motel.
