Beautiful rooms, with plenty of space. We didn’t actually use the restaurant or pool or gym though! Just had other things to do. Great location and easy to walk into town, along the river, to the beach. Good, gated parking.

The room was spacious and had a large balcony with a large table and chairs. The balcony overlooked an internal courtyard where the pool was situated. These were good aspects of the hotel. The bathroom was very spacious but the shower head was broken and would not adjust properly. The plug in the hand basin would not move up and down so had to be removed and was really mucky underneath. The coffee table in the room was badly scratched and marked. All of these things could have been remedied easily with some thoughtful maintenance. The continental buffet breakfast was very poor. Sliced bread, no croissants. Lots of high calorie slices such as brownies and Louise slices, not really breakfast food. A small bowl of apples and pears which looked past their best. A few slices of watermelon, which I had and was good. Poor selection of cereals (3) and toppings included marshmallows???? only full fat milk, they had run out of semi. Again all could have been remedied with some attention to detail. Hotel staff were experiencing difficulty due to failure of a component of the key entry system and had to let us into our room each time we left it. However no feeling of hospitality eg would we like a free drink to compensate for the inconvenience?.

The hotel was conveniently located to central Gisborne. However the hotel itself is very tired and did not represent good value for money especially when we paid a little extra for what we thought would be a better room. We experienced many minor problems and faults eg both shower and toilet need a plumbers attention. Staff interactions were minimal over our four nights. The check in receptionist was very pleasant but on check out the staff member did not enquire whether we enjoyed our stay - probably because she knew what the answer was already.

The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Disappointing that we booked several months ago and our room overlooked a roof! There were so many rooms with balconies overlooking the river hotel complex. Does booking on Wot If result in being in the least desirable room?.
