Cockroach,Also Our Room Looked Out Onto A Fence With Unmowed Grass And Materials Left Over From Building It And Had Paid For Five Buffet Breakfasts When Booked Room And This Morning I'm Being Asked How Much In Total Did I Pay Could I Screenshot Etc Etc And The Buffet Breakfast On Offer Was Either Omelette Or Bacon And Eggs I Demanded Refund On Breakfasts Plus My $50 Bond That Had Been Charged Upon Arrival
Will NEVER Stay Here Again Nor Recommend Too Anyone I Know
Absolutely Disgusting Service Too Say The Least
Response from Property: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay. I understand how disappointing it must have been to find a cockroach in your room and to look out onto an unkempt area. This is not the standard we aim to uphold.I’m glad to hear that your breakfast refund and the bond refund were processed; however, it’s concerning that the communication around your payment was unclear. I will address this with our team to ensure better clarity in the future.Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and I’m truly sorry that we fell short of your expectations. We appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention and hope you might reconsider giving us another chance in the future.

My family and I stayed in room 214 and found the beds to so hard and very uncomfortable. My husband had to sleep most of the night in the chair. I also asked a staff member at reception where abouts was the gym and pool I was told there wasn't any, I explained it, states it online he seemed confused. I think it needs to be altered online hence one of the reasons I had booked here. Apart from these issues the hotel was clean and very tidy, and the staff members were friendly.

The room was nice and clean. It was facing to the skyline, but very quiet even its next to the road.
Response from Property: We're delighted to hear that you found the room nice and clean, and that you enjoyed the quietness despite being near the road. It's great to know the skyline view added to your experience. We hope to welcome you back for another peaceful stay.

During my one-month trip to New Zealand, I stayed at the only hotel that had a quilt cover instead of a "sandwich quilt" made of sheets. What a surprise. I'm not used to the "sandwich" quilts made of sheets in Australia and New Zealand. I always feel that the quilt in the middle is dirty, and it's inevitable that it will get scratched when it's wrapped in sheets. The hotel is very clean, and the bed in the twin room is also very large, unlike many twin rooms where the beds are only 0.8-0.9 meters wide, so you have to be careful when turning over.

The room was clean and the location was convenient as it was close to the city center, however, when I ordered an omelette and scrambled eggs for breakfast, the omelette was just a flat crust of cabbage and bacon on a plate, which was a bit surprising.

However, we apologize that the omelette didn’t meet your expectations. We strive to offer a high standard in all our meals, and your comments will help us improve.

Something happened suddenly and I changed my residence to AWA.
I saw this hotel on the platform. The room was quite big.
Please ask the guy at the front desk first.
Very good service attitude
Breakfast is not bad, it has everything it needs
Come again next time

You are so cunning. I paid a 50nzd deposit when I checked in, and when I checked out, I was told to just leave my bank card number and email address. Now you email me and ask me to provide the expiration date and CCV of my bank card? How can I, a tourist, get a local bank card?
If I provide these, can't you swipe my card?
The hotel is fine, it's not bad, but you are so cunning

Response from Property: Thank you for sharing your concerns, and I apologize for any confusion regarding the payment process. We strive to maintain transparency and security, and it’s clear we did not meet those expectations in your case.The request for your card’s expiration date and CCV was intended solely for verification purposes. However, I understand how this could be frustrating, especially for a tourist. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities, and I regret any anxiety this situation may have caused.I’m glad to hear that you found the hotel itself satisfactory. Your feedback is valuable, and we will use it to improve our communication and procedures. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out directly.

The room is large and the bed is very comfortable. You can rent table tennis or pool balls in the public space at a very cheap price. The reception staff is friendly and the price is reasonable. It's very convenient to be next to Skyline.
