South Zeal accommodation from NZ$104

We have stayed here almost every year for the last 10years it's a good stay for a couple of nights

Staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Hotel is older, characterful building but has parking (on the expensive side) but good for central city. Unfortunately the lift was out of operation for our stay but they did contact us beforehand to let us know. Booked a standard double but was given a king, room was hot but able to turn radiator off and open the windows. Nice toiletries in the bathroom, could have done with the fan working. No fridge in the room but there was a safe, an iron & ironing board, hairdryer and kettle with tea/coffee supplied. Can't comment on the restaurant as we didn't eat there. Some things in need of refurb/update, curtains had small holes in them, window glazing was a little rickety, but overall would stay again.

The staff were helpful and friendly. The history of the hotel is interesting as it is a former WW1 Hospital. That said it is dated for that same reason. We did not eat ar the restaurant so no review there but we found the bar very blah. Its more of a counter with alcohol. They have very limited parking but there is a pay public car park nearby. We found most of the sites to be within walking distance byt as far as pubs, shopping, or restaurants in the immediate area there really isn't anything. The hitel is fine for a night if you are on a road trip but if you are looking for several nights I would probably pick someplace else
