Toniga, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The car park was very small, i was lucky i was on a swift if i had taken my holden i dont think i would have been able to get in and out of my car if others had parked next to me. The elevator needs repairs and was really shaky going up and down. Bathroom in my room, you could see the grim on the floors rubbish left in the room under the landline phone. The view from the room was ok could see the night life. Staff are friendly
Teri, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice little get away in Hamilton

The best thing about this hotel is its location...right in the thick of it within Hamilton's CBD. It's so close to the restaurants, casino, museum and river. Had a great lunch down by the river at Madam Woos. Yes, the hotel is a past its prime but the rooms are spacious and ours was clean. The price also was great compared to other hotels in the vicinity. There is no parking at the hotel when we were there, so we parked on the street, a Wilson's carpark facility is nearby for those who would prefer a more secure parking option.
Claire, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff member was super nice and helpful especially with their carpark times as we were there for a family function so getting up early and getting back late
Flow, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Stayed a few times and will be back. great price for location. Some nights get noisey more than others, but on theain street. Close to food and shopping
Jaimee, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We liked that the accommodation was in the central city and easily walkable to shops, restaurants and surrounding areas. The beds were very comfortable. Although we were aware that the VR is a very old building, and relatively inexpensive, the decor of the place is also very old and rundown. There was paint and wallpaper peeling off and signs of water damage was evident (we couldn't smell dampness though). With it being central city, you do get a fair bit of noise from the street - due to old building/no double glazing etc.
Phil, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s a great old place, loads of room and charm. We stayed Saturday night and the whole neighbourhood was rocking, great if you want to be in the centre of the action, if not you should ask for a room round the back, it may be quieter
Simon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Well situated for my needs. Staff were efficient and helpful. Great room with all that I required. Centrally located for food.
Mike, 2-night trip
