Ignoring the fact that we didn’t get the room I’m sure we booked, the room was noisy- it has zero soundproofing, the main door and other apartment door banged loudly, you could hear the people in the apartment above using the toilet never mind the noise from their extractor fan/shower. House keeping came to make up their room at 8.20am! (because they’d got up and left early) shouting and banging about. We were refunded 1 night (out of 3) because of this, although we only stayed the first night. Our bathroom had cracked tiles in the shower and there were multiple cracks in the hand basin. The room was extremely small with very limited storage - 2 small bedside cupboards, all other storage was full of hotel stuff and a large fridge which lacked the bracket in the door so you couldn’t stand up bottles. The hotel claims to be prestigious and offers wonderful views of Tepako, the view from out 2ft wide window was of boulders, some scrubby grass and the car park above!

Room was super small- barely enough room to just walk around the bed. “Desert view” meant absolutely NO view and room was nothing like the pictures in their listing. Not enough parking near our room so we had to carry stuff down the road up and down a hill. Breakfast workers were quite crabby and rude - saw them snap at people who came in 5 minutes before the breakfast closing time — seems like if they say they’re open till 10, people should be able to come in until 10 just like any other restaurant. The workers should know that people will be hanging around until 10:30ish, otherwise they should end entry at 9:30 and RELAX. We learned, there are better options in town. We did not have any other experience like this in 5 weeks of travel in NZ. Was not worth the price paid.
