8/10 Very good
For a budget hotel, I found myself having the most comfortable sleep in any of the hotels I stayed at in New Zealand! The rooms were super small without TV and en-suite bathroom, but I didn't expect it given this is 1 of only 2 remaining original continuosly ran hotels in the town.

Linens are exceptional quality and very clean. Cannot praise this place highly enough. Exellent value for money. In the heart of the Heritage area.

4/10 Fair
The guy who runs this is really nice and the beds have nice linen and the room is clean enough.
While the rooms were in good condition, they were small and we booked the room because the listing said a bathroom was among the room amenities.
There were two clean bathrooms on the other side of the floor. It might be good to specify “shared bathroom” in the hotel description.
If the kitchen were clean and free of clutter, I would have rated this 3 stars despite the amenity listing discrepancy.
Unfortunately, the kitchen was unusable owing to a large box dumped on the cooker, other equipment left on the side by the sink and dirty dishes left there from when we checked in a few minutes before 2pm until we checked out just before 10am. I went to wash the dishes, but I couldn’t find a cloth, only dishwashing liquid.
Food from the restaurant was stored in a deep freeze and a fridge was switched off. Another fridge freezer was switched on, but this would have benefited from being cleaned.
I know the owners are new, so leaving this as constructive feedback.
