Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located in the city center, making it easy to reach various services and enjoy spacious rooms. However, the room had a heavy cigarette smell, and the air conditioning was not ideal as it blew directly onto the beds.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was spacious with a sea view balcony, and the staff was incredibly helpful and polite. The location was central, making it easy to access tours and restaurants, but the dining experience left a bit to be desired.
The hotel is ideally located just opposite Paihia Bay and a short 3-minute walk from the Bus Station. The rooms, although not able to accommodate bigger groups, were clean and spacious, offering a convenient stay close to the town center. The service, aside from a negative experience with one staff member, was generally friendly and helpful. Dining options were basic and could be improved, although the facilities were satisfactory overall.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The view from the rooms was beautiful, and the facilities were top-notch. The king bed in the suites was a luxurious touch available for only two dollars extra. The service was outstanding, the location fantastic, and the dining experience, while having some issues, was acceptable. Overall, a great value for money.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, the breakfast was awesome, and everything was very clean and well laid out. Although my room overlooked the central car park, stepping outside offered great sea views. The quiet air conditioning in the room was a nice touch.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although a bit small for four adults, were neat and spacious, situated close to the exit and outside stairwell. The service was generally professional and friendly, but there was a negative incident of staff bad-mouthing in front of guests. The location is fantastic for exploring the Bay of Islands, offering great views and easy access to popular attractions. The dining experience was average, with room for improvement in the variety of offerings. On the bright side, the hotel facilities were well-equipped and functional.
