Guest reviews for VR Hamilton

2 out of 5

Unless you’re a heavy sleeper, I’d recommend you look elsewhere. We had basically no sleep the first night due to an unruly mob in the corridor outside our room, and the only staff person in the entire building was the young trainee on the front desk, so they were left to run riot. The building is obviously a conversion, but seems done poorly. The room was large but resembled some sort of poorly decorated commercial office room. The elevator seems to be on its last legs and the bar/nightclub nearby meant the next night was only slightly more bearable, which we would have gladly spent elsewhere of anything was available.

It’s very old, and smells very old in the hotel. It needs a full refurbish, the shower is very short as well, you can’t wash your hair without sitting down. The beds feel old as well. Also when we showed up to check in the receptionist was on his phone texting, that’s not a good look.

Unique = old. Didnt like = dirty window sills. Dirty bathroom (edges). No spare plugs around the room. The lift smells really bad. We wanted to check in 1hr early but were told it was an extra $45. Then when we got there at 3pm there were 3 people in front of us checking in and it took over 25mins until our turn to check in. Parkingnis not free with your stay. Check in is late and checknout is early. Akld 4star hotels are very, very different with much more to offer for your money and cheaper nights. $99 to stay at skycity with car park, earlier check in, later check out......

The property is handy to the centre of town, comfortable and clean, friendly staff. All amenities great and we can usually get a reasonable price. We use this hotel whenever we visit Hamilton. Only concern is having to pay for car parking.
