    room too small for 2 people. a bit of run down. it needs upgrading. paint too old. nothing to hang your jackets or space to put your luggages. advisable for an overnight and not for few days.

    very close to everything. food in bar downstairs was very good. gives you 10% off since your staying in their premises. bed was warm since there is electric blanket.

    Had a bit of marks on the wall and meh shower. it didn't matter too much, though.

    It was very basic facilities, but it was so warm and it was in a fantastic center of town location and right by parking so unpacking was super easy.

    The noise coming from the room AC/Heatpump. Maybe due for a service

    The hotel was good, great location with a pub restaurant that served amazingly good delicious food. We stayed at Rm 7 for 4nites, beside the noise fr the heatpump that woke me during the nite as I'm a very light sleeper, everything else was great 👍🏻 We had meals a few times tru out our stay and we love the food served 😋. We even invited our friends in Frankton to come over to the hotel to have meals, and they loved it too. I went to the kitchen to compliment the chef when I checked out. 10/10 for the food served. Compliment to Amelia too the friendly staff.

    The room had clearly been through some hard times, smashed mirror, broken cabinet and a big crack on the glass door. It seems like the hot water tank for the bar upstairs runs through the main bedroom wall so we were woken up at 1-2am when things were being cleaned as the sound was extremely loud! we had a bit of a security issue too with a key being left on the outside of our door all night but the manager did apologize the next day.

    The location is amazing! The room was tidy

    I believe the rooms in the place need new carpets, the furniture looks like it came from a junkyard, and the bathroom is really old-fashioned. Also, the TV wires should be hidden away.

    The staff and the location!

    Stay in the heart of Arrowtown

    • Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The construction of the rooms is quite retro and although the bathrooms have new fixtures the layout is tight, as the original fixture locations was retained. The power outlets were difficult to get to, in order to recharge a mobile phone and laptop, as they were located behind the bed and behind the dresser/open wardrobe.

    This hotel is located on the main street of Arrowtown and there is all day public parking behind the hotel. The room was a comfortable size. The bed linen and towels were of high quality. The room was neatly set out and was cleaned to a high standard. The shower pressure was very good, there was plenty of hot water, and the cubicle size was comfortable (refer below for comments on the bathroom layout). There was a positive focus by the team on the 'little things' that made this stay great - the staff were excellent at check in and I was shown to my room by a team member (which in my experience is now an unusual practice), my room had been heated for my arrival and this was welcome as it was chilly outside, and the supplied shower soap and gel were good quality products. My room was quiet and the curtains were a blockout type, so I had a comfortable night's sleep.

    Older room. Mattress slopes on each side. Rooms are not serviced.....we were not told of this. Shower water changes temperature several times.

    Great bar staff and food is fantastic. Perfect location in centre of Arrowtown and 15mins from Queenstown. Value for money

    Shower sprays water everywhere cos curtain is far too short. Some sort of generator close to the room starts up at 11pm.....I told the staff about it the next day and it didn't do it that night.

    Clean, tidy apartment style room .... must've been recently refurbished. Great location in the centre of Arrowtown and only 15 mins from Queenstown. Bar staff are really nice and the food is great.

    Windows made the most of the view, but also prevented privacy from restraunt below. Frosted film on lower half of windows maybe a solution.

    The location and lovely comfy bed were features of our stay. Very handy to have the bar and meals service. We enjoyed our stay and were thankful for booking acceptance.

    Don’t expect 5-star for this price point, but the pace is authentic, a little tired but clean and good value.

    Central location. Easy, free parking in the Carpark close by. All expected for the price. Ideal stop off for a drive through trip. Friendly staff.
