The bedroom & bathroom were clean & tidy, with a good air con unit in the bedroom. Staff were friendly as well. The hotel is in a great location in Paihia. The only minor issue is a lack of room safe, and the shower in the bathroom could do with an upgrade - just wasn’t powerful enough

Motel style accommodation. Clean room and bathroom. Bed comfy enough. Separate toilet and washbasin. Nice fluffy towels. Plenty of parking. Walkable to good places to eat or for shopping. Nice walk along the beach. Internet could be slow at times and limited number of points for charging phones. TV a bit tricky to work out - instructions would have been useful.

This hotel is over priced and dated, the room had the kitchen right by toilet and bathroom w no connecting door so that the kitchen felt like it was part of the bathroom, so yuck! I felt unclean the whole time i was there, didnt want to use the kitchen for this fact! View is lovely, thats about it. I would never stay here again. Pool is not heated and no spa.

8/10 Very good

Overall, the experience was decent and the atmosphere was comfortable. However, one major downside is that the place is not pet-friendly. It would really improve the experience if they considered allowing pets, as many travellers and locals appreciate venues where they can bring their furry companions along. Additionally, while everything else was generally okay, the food menu could use some improvement. Compared to other restaurants, the variety feels quite limited. Expanding the menu with more diverse options and better choices would make a big difference and attract a wider range of customers. In summary, it’s an okay place to visit, but becoming pet-friendly and improving the food selection would significantly enhance the overall experience for travellers.

Room was clean. Quite a lot of noisy occupants in other rooms. Staff were mostly good, checkin was easy enough. Parking was ok, but few spots available. Games room was ok, pool was good. Wifi a bit spotty.

4/10 Fair

The air conditioning worked but was very loud. The overall apartment isn’t what is displayed online. In fact it’s very tired and run down. The bed was clean and the linen was fresh, but a little expensive for what it was. The windows were open upon arrival and there were moths and flies in the room which took some time to catch and release. It was a good location and included parking. I think in terms of other accommodation I booked this based on the pictures online and was slightly disappointed when I arrive. To a feeling of slightly mis sold
