Top Ward Observatory Hotel Reviews

151 on London Motel

151 on London Motel

8/10 Good
"The compact studio room was perfect for a single traveller and very quiet. Netflix was a bonus. The shower's water pressure was great and there were plenty of towels, flannels etc. Good selection of coffees and teas. Only a few minutes walk to 3 supermarkets and a bottle store, plus takeaways if needed. Didn't use the adjacent Thai restaurant but it was very busy which is a good sign. Will definitely consider Motel 151 when back in Whanganui."

Aotea Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Great motor lodge, close to the middle of the city. The only negative was that for the price, it should have had at least king size beds as the rooms have ample space for a larger bed."

Riverview Motel

Riverview Motel

8/10 Good
"Great location but not a happy reason for staying- I was pallbearer at my partners funeral, which was at the very nearby funeral home. Very handy to the city where my friend (who had brought me up from Kapiti) and I had dinner on the Sunday night. Good parking right by our rooms. Very friendly, helpful reception staff member. Good amenities- mine recently refurbished I think. Excellent colour choice for decor and a very comfortable bed. Thank you."
