Loved it. Nice old villa, in CBD and easy to walk places

Staff were easy to contact by phone. The lady I dealt with in person was helpful and polite. Room was clean, comfy beds and excellent water pressure in shower.

Disgusting

Nothing

DISGUSTING!! This place was advertised as a motel but was far from it!! From urine and blood/red wine stains on the materess to the mold spread through the shower. Absolutely filthy conditions. The toilet door did NOT shut???? The stove covered in grease followed up the wall. No plug, tea towel, flannel!! The heater, toaster, electric blankets all didn’t work. In the shower there was a soap pump filled with cleanex hand soap no doubt expected to be our body wash!! Our feet stuck to the sticky floor throughout the accomodation. The rude staff who looked confused when we asked for basic nessesitys, also we felt as we were not welcomed!! Cracks through our front door, grapheti, and no dead bolt lock. $30 on cleaning products 2 hours of our time all spent cleaning until we felt our room was up to liveable (at a push) standard. We only stayed 2 nights and would have moved if we were longer. Will not be returning.

Disgusting

Location

The owners, the staff and the place is disgusting. My whole whānau all booked 4 rooms 14 of us and i arrived before my whānau and checked all the rooms to see if they were ok before they all arrived and i made the owners re clean all the bathrooms and the window sills. The bathrooms were disgusting not even cleaned and we had a toodler and no way were we going to make our kids shower/bath in that filth until my partner and i told the owners to clean it. Mold around the showers, broken toasters, dirty fridges, dirty microwaves, no dish washing liquid, missing bowls and utensils. My whānau and i all had to share appliances between the rooms. Theres a sign saying the rooms will be services each day and put towels and stuff in the shower, nope thats a lie. My mother had to tell the staff on our 2nd/3rd day for fresh towels, toilet paper, dish washing liquid for tge empty bottles. The under sheets and the matresses themselves were so disgusting. The bond they asked for before we even stepped into the place and had a check it was for damages when there was a hole in the outside wall, kicked in door, tagging etc. The staff/owners dont car at all, reception is non existant. We had to throw our own rubbish into skip etc. Paying $2100 for that was over priced and a total rip off and i hope they get shutdown because its disgusting in terms of health and safety. Broken shower head, my brother a plumber so he fixed it. My whānau honestly just bought paper plates and plastic utensils and our own coffee/tea/water etc because we couldnt even trust the cleanliness of everything. Also the photos that are online are what it used to be but are now not even true what it is in reality. Never again.

I needed extra blankets on the night. The floor hadn't been vacuum cleaned.

DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY!!!

The only thing remotely good about this property was the location. It was close to a main St with cafes, bars etc

Everything. It was the worst property I've ever stayed in. It is NOTHING like the photos. The '"spa bath" was tiny, filthy and the jets didn't work anyway. There was no fireplace like in the photos but we could have overlooked this, however it was also dirty, cold (no heating, we had to buy our own heater), the smell was overpowering, no staff on site, broken glass, graffiti, stairs were dangerously slippery in the wet. I hated this property.

.....DO NOT STAY HERE.....

The location was the only thing that was good about it.

.......Do not stay here......Nobody at the reception nobody would answer any of the phone calls when I was checking in. Took an hour to eventually get someone to check me in and my family. The place was very dirty rubbish still in the rooms sticky floors, dirty bathroom with broken cupboard doors dirty toilet with crap and pubic hair around the toilet seat.... The place was full of homeless people and drug addicts. Drug addict was yelling at my 11-year-old daughter with in the first 10 minutes of us being there.

Do not stay here it is gross!

The location. That is absolutely it. Book literally anywhere else.

Black mould throughout the bathroom, even after requesting to change rooms because of this, the second room also had extensive mould. Carpets were damp. Rooms smelt like something rotting. Bed sheets were stained and smelt dirty. Fridge stank and was dirty. Hot water worked intermittently. Batteries had been stolen out of our tv remote. Fan in the room did not work. Book literally anywhere else!! This place is run down and disgusting.

Room fine apart from tv and female staff member Sub standard

Everything was good for the price

No staff on arrival, had to ring. I have stayed there 4 of the last 5 years around the same dates, and payed on arrival, (booking. Com) for some reason, female staff member was pushing this never happens, she needs better people skills .Last but not least, tv aerial wasn't connected, wifi wouldn't connect to tv (poor)

Good other than the Windows, TV and shower room issues.

Available parking. Good spacious room. Good instructions on how to find room keys after hours.

1. Some windows had no curtains, therefore found sleeping difficult. I sleep better in a completely dark room. 2. Shower head could not point straight down but was always at an angle with water trajectory towards shower wall. 3. TV remote hard to operate. Could not find the freeview channels. Message of "No Signal" kept coming on TV screen. Room manual TV instructions seem outdated.

Passable

Spa bath, friendly ataff, and a big room with lots of packing space and space to move around. Beautiful lead pressed ceiling to add to a vintage feel.

The place hasn't had a deep clean in years and it could really use one. The bedding could do with an update too. Sheets and bed were crisp and clean though. It has a lot of potential to be a great place to stay. Especially with the lovely people that work there.

never again

roof over our heads for one night before we fly out of Wellington the next morning.

accessibility, poor parking, poor customer service, offering the option of a portacot and then getting to the motel and being told they don’t offer a portacot so my 1 year old has to sleep in a single bed, room was not maintained and cleaned from the people previously in there, spa is small however the problem is that there’s hardly any hot water the hottest we could get it was luke warm.

Have stayed here several times, always clean, close proximity to venues BUT please repair that mat!

Location was great - so handy to what we wanted to do. Villa nicely restored.

*Reception was not available 9am to 9pm as advertised, therefore there was nowhere to store our bags while we did a city tour. *Tho we were given access to one room earlier than planned the key wouldn't open the other room until the manager arrived at 6pm. *The torn mat at entry/exit to the Lodge is a possible death trap! *Shower door took a day to repair tho I was warned about it. *One heater wouldn't work in the larger room.
