I cannot say a bad word about Distinction Palmerston North! We are a family of 5 who rung in need of accomodation after our previous booking elsewhere was not appropriate at all. From the moment I phoned Karma was absolutely brilliant, kind, caring and professional. He made our stay incredibly easy and enjoyable. Karma was brilliant with our kids and he went above and beyond expectation, he deserves a medal. Thank you distinction but more so thank you Karma!! Highly recommend

Giving this 5-star review specially for the hotel staff named Karma, who went the extra mile to make our stay a wonderful one. Knowing that we will be on a long road trip, he made sure we knew where our destination was located & gave us treats to sweeten our drive. His warmth made all the difference to our stay. Thank you, Karma!

It was everything we wanted, quiet, clean, nice staff, excellent breakfast. Walkable distances to shops and venues and safe, secure parking.

It was a disappointment upon check in, the room was cold, squeeky floors, the air conditioning wasn't working, the unattractive room wasn't really worth for the $330 including breakfast per night. We wanted out but won't be refunded. They offered another room, worst, air con was blowing cold air and small. Both rooms were clean, redeeming qualities. We took room 1 and they gave us an oil heater. I complained the following morning due to lack of sleep and managed to change to another room, far better. They should have changed it to a better room upon check in. The morning staff was better with their customer service and upon check out has offered us a free coffee.

It was conveniently located, bed was comfy, the hotel has all you need. The staff are mostly incredibley friendly and helpful. Only bad thing was When I checked in at 9:30 pm, the man who served me was incredibly rude. Didn't greet me or say a single word. I had showed him my ID and he didn't even look at it. Then he abruptly threw my room card on the counter. I apologised for being slightly later than I was expecting due to flight delays and he made a grunting noise. When I asked if he would like me to pay at check in he grunted again and was incredibly condescending about me asking. I was concerned that this was setting the tone for my stay but it was the only bad thing. I hope that man is ok and I was sorry he seemed to be having a bad night.
