A comfortable room for a short stay
Pros:

Hótel is in a great location with friendly staff at reception. Room was simple but had all that was needed for our short stay.

Cons:

We had booked a smaller room and fitting in 2 suitcases tricky but not the hotel’s issue!

everything is as it should be
Pros:

The room was clean and tidy, the bed was to my liking and the pillows were good. It's nice to come into a room that has a bit of a retro style and not just changed everything just for the sake of changing.

Cons:

The only thing I can complain about is that the TV was a bit small considering how far it is from the bed.

Enjoyable despite the drain smell
Pros:

Good location, decent room.

Cons:

Wardrobe space too small and cluttered with hotel things.
The drains had a terrible smell especially when you used either the sink or the shower. This points to poor or lack of maintenance.

Great location, warm, comfortable hotel
Pros:

Three night personal stay plus one night at the end of my winter active tour. Check in was quick and friendly. All staff encountered were professional and friendly.

My room was as requested and clean and comfortable. You need to request housekeeping.

As a solo occupant in a double room I had plenty of space. Shower pressure is good however please note you may need to be patient ( 2+ minutes) for the hot water to work its way through ( geothermal). If you are on a water meter at home this can be quite a "culture shock" ($$$)

I only dined in the restaurant with the group on the last night and the meal was excellent . The lamb was very good. Breakfast was, by comparison, ok. I found it rather lacklustre. When one compares breakfast here to other hotels both within the Kea chain and similar rated non Kea hotels it is, for me at least, average. Nothing to complain about just disappointing.


Friendly staff.
