The place was musty and smelled of mildew; it did not feel clean. The towels they provided were stained. A pane in the window was cracked and makes the room very cold and drafty at night.

Very good location for bus and ferry, restaurants and sights. A bit run down but ok.

Location cannot be beat...nextto train station and ferry to South Island. But proximity is noisy, and building/rooms are old. Excellent coffee place around corner.

Bed was not made from the person that stayed before me.
The cleaner just made it thinking it was okay.
It was very upsetting. The staff man was very nice and helped us and gave us another room.
I wouldn’t ever stay there again.
I stayed in the double bed ensuite room.

We liked the proximity to the railway station and downtown. Our double ensuite was clean. Generally quiet at night. Communal kitchen was well equipped, cleaned each morning, though of course not everyone cleans up after themselves. Good value for money.

Very handy position close to the ferry terminal. The room was small but ok but lots of traffic noise. Other rooms on the other side of the building are quieter.
