Totally convenient for our needs, and very comfortable!
Pros:

We decided to change to a larger room as two of us in the initial room was very cramped, for one person it would be fine. We liked the immediate response to do all they could to accommodate this change , and the price was negotiated to a very reasonable level. The new room was very comfortable and made the stay in NP very pleasant for us.

Cons:

The kettle and drinks area above the fridge was dark in both rooms , a small light above this area would be very useful and also provide good lighting ambience for the room.

Fun place to stay in New Plymouth
Pros:

My partner loved this hotel. He slept like an absolute log.

The set up is really great. You can tell that the owners put a lot of effort into making it stand out with their unique, fun style. Hard to explain but we had a lot of fun looking at the art on the walls. There is a cozy public living room where you can hang out. All the amenities looked to be really new, there was a great 'things near here' flyer done in the shape of a newspaper and we took a recommendation to visit the local park which was spot on.

Parking was just around the corner. It is first come first serve but we had no trouble getting a spot.
Very close to lots of eateries as well so you have options!

Relaxing, quirky and beautifully appointed for one
Pros:

Lovely place to lay your head. Travelling for work and nice and central, had dinner downstairs. Highly recommend, easy to find, access and a great night's sleep. Even saw beautiful Mount Taranaki in the morning blanketed in a white korowai.
