The hotel has a unique charm with rooms that felt more retro than dated, though the mattresses are showing signs of wear. The location may bring some noise concerns but surprises with a cozy area for kids to play. Service was exceptional, ensuring a truly relaxing holiday experience and offering insight into the local area.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were surprisingly spacious and better on the inside than expected, but they had a musty and damp smell, needing some maintenance and a thorough clean. The service was a bit of a letdown in terms of refund policy, but overall charming and delightful. The location, while close to the beach and city center, was slightly lacking in terms of cleanliness. The dining experience was average with limited options, and the facilities were in need of some improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the room had a stale smell and an unusual tin shed vibe with bright yellow decor, it was unexpectedly clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The location was convenient but not very child or pet-friendly due to the busy road nearby. The service provided was friendly and accommodating, making the experience enjoyable overall.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while clean and comfortable, could use some updating and felt a bit like a tin shed around the outdoor spa. On the bright side, the location was excellent, just a few minutes' walk from the center of Paihia and the harbor. The staff were very friendly and helpful, staying up late to welcome us, which was much appreciated. However, the lack of child and pet-friendly facilities due to the nearby driveway and busy road was a downside.
