Cómodo hotel en Hokitika
Pros:

Ubicación excelente en el centro de Hokitika. El personal de recepción es muy amable. Las instalaciones están bien, se ve cuidado y sobretodo está limpio. La habitación es cómoda y cumple su función.

Cons:

Está bien para el precio que tiene.
Por decir algo quizás que la habitación era algo pequeña.

Great hotel that could be so much better.
Pros:

Excellent room with great view of Tasman sea. Nice dinner with great service.

Cons:

The only hotel I've stayed anywhere in the world that would not automatically charge the dinner meal back to the room.
An extra 2 dinners and 4 breakfasts the restaurant did not sell us! Plenty of excellent options a short walk away.
Why would a hotel with an annual rainfall like Hokitika not have a covered area to load and unload luggage and passengers?
