This is the absolute BEST place to stay in Palmerston North - actually it's the best anywhere, and I have tried a lot of places around the North Island. Spotlessly clean, hosts are super lovely, and the rooms have everything you need.

Great hotel, close to the city.

Pros: The location, not a old hotel.
Cons: No.
This is the second time that we have used this hotel due to visiting the city for the National Futsal competition. The owner was very welcoming and he personally showed us to the room. The facilities were great, ideal for our needs. It was quiet at night which was wonderful.
