Central and adequate

Good handy location. Backpackers describes it - cost a bit higher probably due Akaroa being small but popular, so few options. 'free parking' means there is free on-street parking nearby [not off street parking]. Payment is by cash only [a BNZ ATM fairly handy]

You get what you pay for!

This place is right in the centre of 'town' so within easy reach of everything. We weren't expecting much due to what we paid, but there are a few points worth mentioning I think for people to be aware of.... 1. The accommodation advertises 'free parking' but this is actually just on the street, if you can find a spot. We had to park in a 1 hour only spot initially and then move the car just round the corner. 2. We had a double room with a shared bathroom. There's only one shower room and a separate toilet in the main house-the others are outside. We had to queue to use the toilet. The shower was so revolting looking that we didn't bother having a shower. We were only staying one night but this would have been an issue had we been staying longer. 3. The accommodation also advertises 'free wifi' but this is actually limited to 500mb which isn't much when you're using it for browsing further accommodation, trips, etc. We didn't have any left the following morning. 4. Our bedroom was on the ground floor right next to the front garden. Our window was jammed open and we were kept awake late in the evening by people sat talking and smoking on sofas right next to our window, and were woken up about 7am by people out there having breakfast talking loudly. 5. The beds were very poor quality-really soft and lumpy- with bed linen that had definitely seen better days. Really faded and with some holes in.

Klein en gezellig hostel, 1 badkamer en toilet in het hoofdgebouw. Bij aankomst een medewerker gevraagd of ik kon inchecken. Zij hield zich daar niet mee bezig en reageerde geërgerd dat ze een collega moest halen, omdat ze druk was met het tellen van geld van het naastgelegen restaurant. Niet bepaald professioneel. De bedden waren niet comfortabel voor je rug.

Never again

Hotelli ei löytänyt maksamaani huonetta. Käskivät vain ottaa yhteyttä hotels.com asiakaspalveluun. En voi soittaa ulkomailta Suomeen joten laitoin sähköpostia. Asenne oli töykeä. Sain kuitenkin huoneeni. Sängyssä oli vielä edellisen asukkaan petivaatteet. Jouduin viemään likaiset lakanat pesulaan ja itse petaamaan sänkyni haettuani respasta puhtaat lakanat. Myöhemmin toinen työntekijä etsi kanssani varausta ja lopulta löysimme sen Expedian sivuilta. Harmi että aikaa kului kauan ja iltani oli pilalla. Wifi ei toiminut aamulla ollenkaan. Täytyi odottaa että respa aukeaa klo 9 ja he käynnistävät ”modeemin” uudelleen. Lisäksi porukka biletti ulkopuolella kuunnellen musiilkia ja juoden alkoholia pitkälle yöhön.
