Tidy, comfortable and well presented room, great facilities and location. Although water was not hot enough in the shower.
Marama, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

No mirror in room and no milk (powered or long life) for tea and coffee in room. Didn’t realise there was no TV in room. Once patrons left hotel it was very quiet. It was great as there was a shared kitchen with washer and dryer as well as iron and ironing board.
JENNIFER, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Shower has no hot water. Warm water only constantly come out when the 1st floor pub is not in operation hours. Rest are all good. Good room, good bed for the price.

6/10 Good

The location is convenient, close to train station and central, cheap price. There‘s no parking lot, you have to parking car beside the street and notice parking time. The water getting cold when we took a shower, it’s hard in winter.

6/10 Good

Staff is nice . It would be great to have hair dryer provided . Hotel still under renovation. The bread block my way out ( see the pic) . Not for bringing luggage as you need to carry them there climb the stairs . There is only one toilet and one shower place for all genders . No central heating . The bed blanket is thin

Very nice staff - friendly, hard working, good service. A very nice lemon drink on tap. Chips good texture crunch and tastw however not a fan of the lemon salt. Aioli was good wish more were to dip into. Room was good except for peeling paint patch that uglied room slightly. Nicely folded towels. Good bedding and bed size. Unfortinately no ac so fan had to be going for whole night as window was just for decoration. Toilet and sinks very clean, as well as the kitchen laundry area. Very clean. Shower glass could use a bit of jif but not unbearable. Water pressure was mid. Exit could use a nice carpet clean vacuum and stair reinforcing and some more lighting. Would stay again and location is good and public transport is accessible.
Amber, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff were friendly and welcoming. The bathroom facilities were in poor condition; the shower area was leaking and the toilet seat wasn’t attached on properly. The cleanliness of the bedroom was good, but the bathroom areas were, once again, in poor condition. The hotel has a lounge/bar area that was right below our room so it loud and not a quiet stay, so wouldn’t recommend to those who are looking for a quieter getaway or those who want to be in bed early. The room door for the stay wasn’t closing all the way and had a gap on top of the door which caused conversations to be heard outside from the room, which unfortunately didn’t feel private. There’s no parking on premises but for weekends there’s free on street parking which is nice for a place that’s in the city circle. The only reason I’d give this place a 3/5 and not 2/5 if due to being close to the city and public transport for $80 a night, which seems to be on the lower end.

Ben, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Sam provides a really good offering for the ex back packers who don't want the price or fussiness of a hotel. A great pub with a varied customer base, always busy and has very pleasant helpful staff. Showers and kitchen serviced regularly by cleaning staff. Beds comfortable, nice towels and tea/coffee, kettle in the room. Washing and drying facilities a real plus.
Nicola, 3-night trip

Luca Christian, 14-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was nice and tidy but so dirty under bed. Bathrooms/toilets were nice and clean. Staff friendly, welcoming and helpful. Would be nice to have air conditioning or a fan already in room.
Susana, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

After not being able to contact them for a late check-in, they were very apologetic and explained the reasons why. It was more than enough for what I wanted, and the Chapel Street precinct was easily reachable by foot. The train station was even closer. The staff were very helpful and friendly. It is its own night spot tucked away from the business of Chapel Street with a vibrant life of its own.
