    Great central location, easy parking. Neat decor with all the art. It had everything I needed for my quick trip. Also joes garage below the hotel has takeaways/order online so as a solo traveller I didn’t have to walk the streets at night. The manager was relaxed and happy to answer any questions, really positive happy staff.

    The whimsical decorating in the hotel matches the general atmosphere of New Plymouth. The location is conveniently located in the city center with plenty of dining options nearby. This also serves as a nice base for exploring the Egmont National Park and other nearby beaches. Luke was incredibly knowledgeable and was happy to assist with my questions, The hotel has free private parking nearby. Keep in mind that all rooms are located on the second floor and the hotel does not have elevators. This was well-advertised on the booking, but it deserves emphasizing.

    The room is very small so with luggage, there is really very little space to move. Note that there is no elevator so you need to lug the bags up two short flights of stairs. I would certainly stay again.

    Jake was very friendly and helpful. I really liked the lounge area, amazing for an evening sit down and relaxation. The room was spotlessly clean.

    Double bed was too small for us 2 as a couple so didn’t sleep well at all. Small rooms so couldn’t sit down to have breaky or a drink there. Did enjoy the guest lounge area. Noisy at night from weekend boy racers but would get that anywhere central

    Nice boutique hotel. The staff were fantastic and so friendly. Lovely welcome. Fab location to central activities

    We had a room with a double bed and they did advise that they recommend these rooms for single occupants, so it was quite small, but we were prefectly happy.

    Great boutique hotel, well designed and lovely old style features. Good that it has the additional shared living area. Convenient location, easy to come and go and parking was available. The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful.

    We were road side, street noise could be an issue for some people.

    Loved the location, and the boutique feel to it. Staff were very friendly and even called us to let us know of an event that was on as there may have been an issue with access.

    Fabulous spot for New Plymouth and Fab Hotel.

    Parking was available but @ 50m up the street past the hotel + drop off option was a little challenging for luggage. Security was present over the car park, but is street side. Small walk down the street with our luggage - not a problem for us, but for some could have been a wee challenge for someone mobility impaired or with a lot of luggage they didn't want to leave in the car. Would not put me off staying again, as will know what to expect.

    Wasnt sure what to expect but it was really lovely. Beds were super comfortable; clean; bathroom perhaps a little tight but was fresh, and perfectly adequate. Location was great for waterfront walks a couple of streets away. Didn't dine in the restaurant downstairs but found an amazing Indian Restaurant down the street (Arranged Marriage). Small sitting area available for reading and relaxing was a nice idea. Would definitely stay again. NB - Stairs and Drop off / parking spot could be a challenge for mobility impaired. Appreciated parking being available.

    The Windows are not soundproof glass,we just got there on the weekend.then a little bit loud in the evening.

    Though the room is not big,but it’s clean and have everything you want. Hotel decoration is very careful, a door will have a faint fragrance.
