Hotel dengan WiFi di Paihia

BE AWARE IF YOU HAVE SPECIAL CONDITIONS DON”T BOOK THROUGH BOOKING.COM. I booked more than 6 months in advance, asking for a bottom floor as my elderly mother (who needs a knee replacement) can't get up stairs. I get to hotel to find out we are on top floor up steep stairs. I speak to Asian man at reception who tells me no English (Hmmm I thought I was in NZ?), I demand to speak to someone, he calls manager, I explain situation - she asks did I use booking.com or expendia I said ”yes”, she said oh nothing much can be done unless you use our own website as those companies don't know the configuration of the motel. Lucky for us a beautiful lady and her granddaughter overheard all this and offered to swap - as the motel was not going to assist in any way. ANYWAY, it only gets better ..... be aware the rooms look NOTHING like the pictures. Plug points don't work, shower head won't stay up so you need to hold it - oh and it's a shower curtain situation YUK! There is an air con unit looks like from the 1980's and that does not work. I could say more but you get the general warning. I don't like to give this type of feedback in these tough times but $700 (hard earned $$) for 3 nights, I would expect more and not assisting us with our request because we used another agency that ”you advertise on” - is very unfair ...... thank goodness for kind soles who overheard this, as Mum would have never got up the stairs. Disappointed. *The cleaning staff are absolutely lovely ladies, very accommodating and friendly - hard to clean when the place is this rundown. To be fair there is a new section to this hotel - this review is for the grey part of the hotel shown in the pictures. *Wish I took pictures of this room :(

This was our 1st motel on a 23 day self drive tour of New Zealand organised through a specialist company. Whilst the advertisement photo looks inviting the reality is quite different. We had a 1 bedroom deluxe which is situated down the main spine of the motel. All these rooms overlook a working garage mechanics workshop and during the day you can imagine how nice a view this is with the added sound effects. Added to that the bathroom was well past its sell by date and needs refurbishment. The unit as a whole had everything you need for a self catering setup but would I stay there again?….Definitely not. We are hoping to do another tour in the future and whilst we will go back to Paihia we will insist on a different motel.

It's more of a 3.5 out of 5 to be really fair. We do travel a lot so I know what we look for in a hotel. Good *Air con - we picked this venue as it was one of only a few with air con. *Comfy beds - great sleep. *Quiet rooms. *Great location. *Breakfast was nice but no cheese and it was an extra cost. *Room facilities - iron etc good, appreciate real milk in fridge. Coffee is nicer in the room than at breakfast. *Bathroom facilities were good. Make up flannel is a good idea and lighting was good round mirror. Not so good. Timing of Breakfast - 6 til 9. I'd like the option of a lie in on holiday. 10am would be better. *Wifi - poor!! I understand it's being updated soon. *Water - tasty funky. Be nice to have a couple of large bottles in the fridge. *Check out is again too early. It felt like we didn't get our money worth. I'd have visited the gym and pool if we'd checked out at 11 or 12 which is what we've been used to. In conclusion it was a nice comfy stay but overpriced fit what we had, it felt more ”autolodge” with a seaview price tag. Will look out for offers if the wifi is indeed updated.

On arriving for my 3rd stay at Bounty, I was delighted to find Paul the manager, was still working there. As usual, I was greeted to a very warm welcome, more like an old friend than a casual visitor. The motel offers very clean and comfortable rooms, at a very competitive price when compared to others in Paihia. Its location is only 2-3 minutes' walk from all the shops, bars and restaurants and only 1 minute from the waterfront.

The photos are definitely not a true reflection of the property today. The pool was dirty, and the steps to get out of the pool are broken. There is also a broken pool cleaning machine on the grass next to the pool. The gardens were overgrown, and you cannot reach the washing lines to hang up washing as it's in an area completely overgrown. The laundry room is dirty and definitely can do with a wipe down/clean. There was no cold water in any of the taps (except the shower) and both the bathroom basin and kitchen only had hot water. There is no plug points in the bedroom. The 'sofa' in the lounge area was unstable and covered with what looked like an old duvet cover. The place is very dated and could do with a good pool clean/garden clean and thorough unit clean. It was really disappointing experience - the only upside was that the older gentleman (i presume the owner) was friendly.

We bumped into Casa Bella for spa as we had some injuries from sports. Vineet has been super helpful. He went extra to make sure we get as much support as we could. The room was lovely. Fair price very much worth of it. Spotless kitchen and space. Has everything in the kitchen area. Shower was great. We had the best nights in Casa Bella to rest for our sports. It feels super comfortable and warm. Definitely next time Casa Bella will our 1st choice.

Really excellent value for money. Clean room, great beds - comfortable with lovely white starched linens, comfy pillows, clean white towels. Big shower room. We had the included breakfast which was very basic but adequate ( not worth purchasing separately). The Ritz it is not, but it was great for a 1 night stay for the 3 of us! I would recommend this budget hotel

I like the location and Bay of Island is beautiful. Admiral's View Lodge is clean, quiet and offers self driving traveller's everything what one needs. Paihia's small community is nice, friendly and one can feel safe. I lost my mobile phone while I went out for dinner and found it in the next morning thanks to the lost and found board in the community.

We stayed in Cabin 8 for 4 nights over NY. Highly recommend this particular unit if you don’t mind a few stairs as it’s the unit right at the top offering a good view and more privacy. The unit is situated beside a native rimu tree and pohutukawa which were full of tui and other native birds - lovely to wake up to. The motel is really close to town - only a couple of minutes walk to two supermarkets and all the restaurants and shops. Bathroom is a bit narrow but overall the cabin was sufficient for two people and had everything we needed for the stay. There is a heat pump to keep the unit cool. Owners were very friendly and welcoming and happy to offer local advice. We definitely recommend this motel and would stay here again.
