A noisy air con that did not seem to offer any heat made this stay not up to standard. The room was spacious and well appointed, great breakfast buffet, and obliging staff. Being in the heart of the city was a plus but I am not sure I would stay again

An old hotel that had underwent upgrades and become a modern establishment but maintaining old school flavours. Large rooms and bathroom with jacuzzi. Central in location and walkable to all the attractions. Excellent hotel to stay.

The room felt luxurious and was very clean. The check in process was easy and the staff were incredibly helpful with luggage and with finding ice. The valet parking was a bit expensive ($35NZD) and self parking is not an option. Overall the hotel is worth the price.
