Best Hotels near Mangaiti Park Recreation Reserve, Hamilton

Do not stay here unless you plan on having a terrible night’s sleep. This hotel is a nightmare! There is a sign as you enter the room saying “no discos or parties” which is just as well because there is plenty of that going on, on the street below for you to enjoy while trying to get to sleep until 3 or 4 am. The only good thing initially about the hotel is the location however that soon proved to be a negative with the insane amount of noise until super late (music, loud cars, people yelling and an odd humming noise in the ceiling). The room - especially the bathroom is lower quality more like a 2-3 star hotel. I have no idea how this is considered 4 star! The toilet seat was yellowish and well used - not attached well to the toilet and slid around. The shower water pressure is weak and positioned for people who are short. The carpet is well worn and the towels small. There are limited parking spaces which are first come first serve. Terrible customer service. The people at the front desk are unhelpful and did not explain how to get into the hotel after hours leaving me stranded outside until they finally answered the phone and hurriedly provided a code for the door. The lift sounds like it is about to break and was out of order at 1am. This hotel is perfect if you don’t value sleep, quality and friendly customer service. I would prefer to eat a cheese grater than stay here again.

The staff are amazing. I had a health scare while I was staying there. The closest ambulance was 3 hours away. One of the staff members I believe her name was Kodie, drove me in her own vehicle to the hospital. She was amazing. I can't thank her enough.

Without a doubt, this was one of our best experiences. We had the pleasure of staying a few nights in early January, with friends who are visiting from the UK - we could not fault a thing. But, what really shows the superb hospitality John and his team turned on for us, was when we had to do a last-minute booking to stay again (late at night) because our friends had been in a car accident and been discharged from hospital. Not only did we get a bed, but John went over, above and beyond to help us in our hour of need. If we ever need to stay in Hamilton again - this will be our first choice. I highly recommend Quantum Lodge to others. Thanks so much John, you're a champion :o)

This was the most expensive motel we stayed in on our holiday and the worst. We had a one bedroom and a single in the lounge both comfortable. The roller blind in the bedroom did not fit right over the window so bright light from outside came in both sides and there was no curtain on the back door and as it shone straight into the kitchen lounge area the single bed space was very light. The kitchen was very small and all cups etc on a high shelf we had difficulty reaching. The microwave was above the sink at face height so often banged our head as we tried to do dishes. The bathroom shower was great but bathroom extremely small and no where to put anything, toilet shower vanity all in together which is fine but you had to shut the door to even open the shower or get to the toilet was very squashed. Also long black hair on the floor in bathroom and we are both fair! yuk. They had no where comfortable for 2 people to sit and was quite noisy by the road. Says on website about a cafe but we didn't see one and it wasn't mentioned by owner and we were there 2 nights. Overall not a great experience sadly .

Good location for my business trip, lovely staff, exceptionally clean unit, and a very comfortable bed with good pillows. Reasonably priced, and a good night’s sleep. Good cafes and restaurants close by, very happy with my choice of Albert Court Motor Lodge.

This is a very nice Ibis hotel. It is in the cbd adjacent to the river. It's sister hotel Novotel is next door. We only stayed one night, were upgraded to a river view room on the 7th floor. I liked the recent refurbishments which reflected the maori (indigenous) heritage of the area and there were lots of nice touches in the decor. We slept well on comfy and firm beds. Our accor gold status was recognised at checkin. We arrived in in the evening and parked on the street which was free after 6pm. Noted other reviewers comments on the valet parking charges which we didn't require. The first two hours are free during the day. See parking meter photo for details. We enjoyed a fabulous meal in the Ibis restaurant, using our Accorplus discount. The food was excellently prepared and well above the standard expected at Ibis properties. The breakfast was included in our rate and very nice. I would stay again if visiting Hamilton. NZ is not a cheap place to visit now post covid so I thought this property represented reasonable value for the room rate.

Awesome experience!
