It's refreshing to know in 2024 that the robots have not taken over just yet. At 10am on the dot (check out time), as I stood at the door of my room about to leave with my belongings, a worker (probably one of the proprietors) pounded on the door. I did not give them the satisfaction of answering straight away. I stood at the door, waited a good minute, then opened. "Yes?" I said. "are you leaving?" "Um well I have my bags." "Right. It's just that it's 10 o clock." "And?" Honestly, it's an insult to not give guests at least a five minute grace period to exit your extremely modest accommodation. Yuck. Also, the room was bitterly cold (I accept there's an air conditioner but you tend to keep switching it on and off all night .there's no middle ground). Might I recommend installing some actual insulation?

It was great

I could not fault this property. It had everything you would expect in a top class motel. Modern, clean and recently renovated with high class marerials. However their business hours are advertised as closing at 6pm. I arrived just after 4 o'clock to reception closing down and the manager?retrieved my room key from the lock box and said that she had texted instructions for me to follow. Having been driving all day I didn't look at any texts. My wife had bedding issues with the same lady? And was told "If you don't like it you can leave" Apart from that it's a wonderful motel.

Cabin rates were very good considering it was peak school holiday time. Very convenient to town, just a 5 minute walk to most places. Generally pretty quiet too. The budget cabins are very basic. Noise from other guests easily goes through walls, and the toilet/shower facilities are adequate, nothing fancy at all. Could do with a deep clean and some air-freshener. Linen was clean and fresh, bed was comfortable. Lots of parking, but it's on grass, which could be an issue if very wet. Also a fair way from the cabins. If you're okay with basic, comfortable accommodation this place is a good option.

Neat and tidy, only draw back was the lack of food options on Easter Sunday. No fault of the hotel though.

remote check in - staff unfriendly

Very spacious unit with fully equipped kitchen, easy walk to the river and parks and town centre.

Nice room and modern bathroom

The best equipped, clean and modern room for a long time. Could not have asked for more. Would definitely stay again.

Liked having a swim in the pool.

great Family room. Very clean and well done. Great big new bathroom.

Property was very good, no interaction with staff so could not rate them. Other guest should have had I bit off thought for other guest and not partied till early hours, very in considerate. Bed was comfortable but pillows should be replaced.

What a transformation! The renovations are fantastic - lovely spacious rooms and fabulous ensuite.

It’s simply a good room

Not very good but its ok if you other option

Best hotel bed have slept in for years. The room on ground floor was renovated and thus had a new feel. Room had appliances and enough utensils to allow us to eat in on a rainy night. Large bathroom and shower with plenty towels. Good location close to shops and some dining. Big Carpark. Grounds need a little work, however pool area looks welcoming. Well done Hive Hotel.

Great rooms , modern with large bathroom. Pool was great for an afternoon swim

The accommodation was very clean, had been room had been updated. The bathroom was large with a great walking shower. Staff were friendly.

Everything was good, no problems at all.

Very convenient, close to shopping, fully renovated and well furnished

My wife and I stayed in the cabins behind the motel units. The cabins were for a single person, and they had all the items you would need for a stay,including towels to use at the swimming pool.

The air conditioning in my room didn’t work

Stayed for a night and found everything required. Very clean room. Toilet was a winner which was clean and spacious. Very easy self-check in and checkout. Happy to receive a call from the hotel before we checked in for a heads up. Pillow could have been a bit more softer and comfortable. Will come back again and recommend highly.

What a wonderful place, it’s really clean room with new kitchen. Highly recommended!!

Entering to the assigned unit for some elderlies is hard to manage, using the automatic key dispenser. The use of machine for late time enter might be possible but not for people who arrive late in the afternoon. Having a “face” to talk to, after driving for a long time to get to the hotel, is a positive gesture towards the arriving guests.

Clean, friendly and quiet dog friendly accomodation for budget traveller
