Although the motel has aged, the room was very clean and tidy. The manager was very helpful and courteous. This accommodation would suit someone on a short stay and a budget.

Great especially for night bus travel!

Clean comfy bed and hot showers. They let me check in late at night after arriving on night bus. Also let me stay in their kitchen and living room area until my night bus to leave town which helped because waiting for bus is ouside and was very cold. Convenient to walk to bus station too.

Astray Rotorua

My check in was smooth, staff friendly. I eventually managed to park in thier car park, very limited with spaces, other guests crossing into 2 spaces didnt help. Connecting to the wifi was easy once you choose the right hub, this could have been better explained. The room had everything i needed but was shabby, everything in the room needed updating. The taps and shower were both rusty, the entire floor area wasnt in the best condition along with the tiles on the bathroom floor. I stayed comfortably for 2 nights and managed to do all that I needed. A bedside lamp or small wall light would help make the room less bright for if you don't want the full ceiling lights on

There were holes in the walls. Other than this, the room was tidy, clean and the bathroom facilities were fine. I did not use the shared kitchen space during my stay so I have nothing to say about that

There were facilities to prepare food but no where to eat your food. Backpackers appear to have been replaced with social housing occupants. Have stayed here a number of years and was very disappointed to see the property has not been maintained over the past year.

The property is a ghetto. I was nervous even sleeping in the bed. The entire place is absolutely filthy, with little security to your room. Never again will I stay here. I wouldn't even recommend it to my enemies.

Dirty, poorly maintained

Room was absolutely tiny first of all. Sheets were stained, towels had holes in them. The kitchen was very disappointing, some equipment didn't work at all, some was just extremely worn down. The street outside had some homeless people shouting all evening, and the parking lot had some non-guests occupy spaces. Our key couldn't open the kitchen, so we had to ask the receptionist to open it for us, so we were pretty disappointed when the reception didnt open until 35 minutes after it was supposed to in the morning: it meant that we were locked out of the kitchen with no way of getting to our breakfast foods, which were laying in thr fridge in there.

Bathroom and bedsheets were clean, but the carpet has seen better days. The location is close to the central business area, but for some reason there are a lot of loud homeless people across the street. You don’t really seem to see this in the rest of the area, just this particular block. Front desk personnel was very nice and easy late check-in and checkout.

Room was clean, fresh and tidy with a good bed and decent shower. Reception was friendly and straight forward. Downsides were that the WiFi barely worked in the room so we just used our mobile data. The shared kitchen was ok but did not have any clean towels to wash our items. The parking spaces were full so we had to park on the road. But overall for the price it was good value
