The room was well appointed and roomy. Liked having 2 large beds in the bedroom. We were across from the lift and never heard any noise, so good sound proofing. Loved the black out curtains. Had a swim in the pool which was nice and great coffees at the restaurant.

Shower leaked onto the floor. Had plenty of towels so it was easy to clean up.

The location to Sky Stadium, it’s well within walking distance.

The lack of transparency in their hotel policies led to me being accused of stealing before I had even received a card to my room upon check in, because I did not have a credit card to present to be assigned to my room, only a visa debit card. This hotel charges a bond for those staying without a credit card of $100 which was fine and upfront payment (again fine) but the reasoning being to ensure that I did not steal a bed or TV as advised bluntly by staff was disgusting. We paid for a premier studio, and there was nothing premier about this hotel. Our room had mould in the bathroom, the bedding had the most bare minimum of bedding and was very hard. The views over Thordon Hills did not exist with your premier room! Book room service if you want overpriced and underwhelming food, and I’d definitely encourage the overpriced and under supplied FULL hot buffet breakfast. You will not get service or value for your hard earned dollar here. This is not what 5 star hotels offer and at best I’d rate this a 3 star hotel. Parking is atrocious if you are not one of the few that can get parking! On top of all of that, you will have to wait an excessive amount of time to have your room inspected to ensure you have not stolen the tv or bed prior to your departure if you want to get back your bond!

Location excellent for any age group. Bear to train, bus, ferry.

I had one pm meal à la carte. I was disappointed. Double cooked lamb. Please advise customer there will be 30 Minute wait. Food and plate were ‘warm’ I had chips to cheer me up! and then decide not to chance the Sunday roast which I was looking forward to booking and eating.

It was a nice space with a large room and a pretty view. The breakfast was great and the decor really fun. The staff were lovely.

The hill to the entrance, the slightly dull location, and paying for valet parking.

The hotel is well situated and relatively quiet except for the refuse collection at 3.30am! Valet parking was really good and we enjoyed the continental breakfast. They also do a chefs platter + 2 glasses of wine in mid-afternoon which was great value. The size of the room was also really good with plenty of space.

It’s a personal thing but the bed was a little soft.

Nice and central and clean enough. Our room was very spacious

housekeeping didn’t get to us until about 5pm, at which point we were already back in our hotel room and not keen to leave for a while. There were also trays of room service dishes from other people’s rooms that had been left in the hallway but the were not collected for the entire day.

Loved the hotel itself. Our twin deluxe room was perfect for my daughter, hubby and I. We prebooked parking which was fantastic having a valet park the car, otherwise not a lot of parking around. Daughter used the pool and loved it. Close walk to town. Would rebook.

Beautiful decor, comfortable and friendly, professional staff. Central to all activities (20 min walk) including Te Papa, Queens Wharf and TSB Stadium.

Breakfast was poor. Rubbery scrambled eggs, cold hard hash browns and not enough variety. No pancakes or waffles on offer. Fruit small and stingy. More for a toddler or a convelescents home.

Conveniently located for us between ferry and city. Apartment type facilities. Cool wee pool gym and spa/sauna room. Not high rise building but has a wee hill rise if walking up. Has valet and high tea on offer. Seems like a mix of people staying - 5 star rated but early booked pricing pretty reasonable.

No late checkout or early check in - but able to leave luggage at both ends of stay which is handy. Park view is that but also has a few headstones too - might be unappealing to some. Some wear and tear visible.

Convenient location, lovely room

Some of the amenities/services feel neglected. The mini-bar was “out of stock” on basics like chips. The compendium is a flash iPad, unfortunately “hidden” in the bedroom so it was a late checkin and bedtime before I discovered they do have overnight room service - too late after a bag of popcorn from the minibar! The “get a wifi password” portal on the iPad didn’t work, resulting in a completely unnecessary room visit and long-winded explanation by a staff member to tell me I didn’t need a password.

The room was clean and modern.

The staff failed to offer my wife any assistance while she struggled to move our luggage from our car into the lobby, while I was checking in at the hotel reception. While I parked the car after checking in, I thought the staff were going to help my wife move our luggage to our room. Disappointingly, they did not.

We had a great view overlooking the park. It was very comfortable. Being able to use the in-room washing machine was a bonus, as we like to do washing as we go. We enjoyed the in-house dining, which we used twice, once for a meal and a second time for a platter and wine. The food was delicious, and the service was attentive without being intrusive.

I can't think of anything.
