Last time I stayed at this Hotel was 30 years ago. Was perfectly adequate for a comfortable nights stay. Central Oamaru, so good location with plenty of free parking at the rear of the Hotel. Happy with my stay overall.

10/10 Exceptional

An historic hotel, well maintained with spacious rooms. The location is excellent on the Main Street (which is very quiet at night) and within walking distance of all the main attractions (galleries, steampunk, cafes etc). Breakfast was very good and the staff both friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Amazing lovely old building! Nice rooms, bit of street noise early morning but hey the windows are thin and not double glazed. Nice bar, wanted to check out the other bar out the back too but it closed early.

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic location, right in central spot. All the staff from reception to cafe & restaurant to housekeeping were so friendly & helpful. Hotel is lovely, some people might think old, which it is, but thats what we liked about it. Lovely Victoria building. Rooms have be renovated, beds were so comfortable and larger than modern hotels.Bathroom is small but again renovated and shower is so roomy and great water pressure. Wish we had have stayed longer. 2 nights not enough in this lovely hotel & town.

Very good location in Oamaru. Easy walk to all of Victorian area and even Blue Penguin Colony is walkable. Hotel is a bit dated, but rooms are good-sized, clean, and comfortable.
