Pontecchio accommodation from NZ$175

The room was spotless, staff was professional, friendly, helpful. I did not have the Wi-Fi password so I couldn’t tell you if it was fast and I departed early so I also cannot comment on breakfast. The few things that dropped my rating from five stars to four were minor, and certainly would not stop me from returning. I did not find the showers sufficiently hot. Maneuvering past the bathroom door was a complicated gymnastic feat. The door hits the bidet so it only opens halfway. It’s already a narrow door, so the opening is undersized. The bathroom counter blocks one side, and the door handle protrudes in the other. Awkward and uncomfortable, particularly in the middle of the night. The shower door is equally impossible, and even after the further gymnastics and rock-climbing efforts to get around it so that it can open, then it starts swinging back into the shower under its own weight. There’s only one nightstand, so thou shalt sleep on that side of the bed, regardless of one’s preference. And I really would have appreciated a chair (other than the straight back desk chair) but that may be a matter of economy, as I did not book an upgraded room. Then the hair dryer stopped working mid-style. And there was no price list for the mini bar. See? Little stuff - enough to keep it from all five stars, but not enough for areal complaint. My room was absolutely a good value for the price. I have enjoyed the breakfast on a previous stay and would not hesitate to do so again.

Convenient location, comfortable room, extremely helpful staff.

Great staff and breakfast
