Cute heritage property
Pros:

Loved the interior design, a real nice mix of modern chic and heritage and sits really well with the historic aspect of the hotel. Receptionist was really friendly and gave me a little history lesson on the building whilst showing me to my room. I was travelling all over New Zealand and just wanted one night in Blenheim to have a Quick Look around the actual town, so the location was perfect, right tin the heart of the shopping area, (but not noisy), there is a really big Woolworths just round the corner and if you are feeling adventurous like me, you can hike up the big hills and back to the hotel in about 2 - 3 hours (although a lot of that is just walking through suburbia before you get there)

Cons:

The room could get a little bit hot, but not unbearable

Great friendly staff in gorgeous old world rooms
Pros:

Loved the bedroom interiors and the bar.

Cons:

The dining room needs to reflect the old world charm of the rest of the hotel.

Cons:

Bathroom has no extractor fan or opening window. Not sure that is legal but from a comfort perspective allows for no airflow or removal of bathroom odours in a small space.

Pros:

Really well situated in Blenheim, Hotel d’Urville could just be the nicest place, but considering the cost of staying there, I think it could do with a bit of updating. There is certainly a cool retro vibe which we liked, but considering it’s in one of the most beautiful parts of NZ it could offer a bit more. The staff were super and helpful.

Cons:

Needs a bit of an update !
