The hotel offers a lovely riverside view from rooms with comfortable king beds, but the Wi-Fi is not included in the price. The service was exceptional with genuine Gisborne hospitality, except for a slight issue with hotel security. Its location in the city center is convenient, with easy access to shops and restaurants. The dining experience provided generous portions of grilled dishes. The facilities are well-appointed for a pleasant stay.

The hotel offers a cozy stay with comfortable beds in a secluded bedroom-attachment. The service is exceptional, providing genuine customer care, but the lack of attention to hotel security is concerning. The location is perfectly situated in the city center, making it convenient to explore the vibrant surroundings, though being above a pub on a busy corner can be noisy at times. The dining experience is enjoyable, especially with generous portions served. Overall, the hotel provides a good value for money, ensuring a memorable stay.
