For the most part, the room was clean. Bathroom hot water pressure was low so it took a while for hot water to start but this was posted in plain site. Not ideal if you wanted a quick shower and it wasted a lot of water.

Our room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms accessible and clean. The building construction noise across the street was not welcome at 3am but not the fault or within the control of the hotel. Attempted to have a meal for dinner but the pub was so chock a block full that we had to go elsewhere.

Perfect location right next to Wynyard station (trains, buses, light rail, supermarket and food hall all within a block). Beautiful old building. Shared bathrooms excellent (aside from the lack of mirrors). Very large showers and always kept clean. Was initially worried about the "shared" aspect, but hardly saw another person in 4 days. Never had to wait. Room adequate. Nothing fancy, but very clean. Great view across the park to the city. Could use maybe a power point or 2. Saturday night traffic was noisy (of course), but despite two functions downstairs and a full bar, almost no noise audible from within the building. Had a great stay. Would stay again and definitely recommend for a short city trip.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was too small for a couple. There was not enough room to put our things about. There are no mirrors in the male bathrooms to have shave. Staff was not courteous. I requested for some milk to make tea. Wr waited for an hour and when I complained the manager was telling me off saying no need to be angry. The staff was not very helpful, but the hotel was at the right location. All the attractions were in walking distance.

​Great Location, but Unacceptable Room Quality and Service Gaps. ​The central location is excellent (5 stars), and some staff were helpful. However, the building is severely outdated. Key issues included no hot water at our room's sink and excessive noise from the street and the ground-floor bar due to thin walls/single-pane windows. No hangers in closet or in the room could be found - had to request from Bar staff. ​Ventilation is poor, and since the windows lack screens, you cannot open them, meaning towels and clothing will not dry. We also encountered significant hygiene problems (mold, insects, dirty carpet, uncleaned sheets). Crucially, there is zero assistance or housekeeping on Sundays, leaving guests stranded with issues like uncollected garbage. The serious comfort and cleanliness flaws outweigh the great location. Management of the property was contacted but are not willing to discount or refund - photos for proof on file.
