The staff were very helpful
Nothing really
We always stay here. Comfortable, clean, very friendly hosts - always made so welcome.
Locality, close, walk anywhere
N/a
Awesome staff, hostess with the most for sure. Bar and entertainment cannot be beaten.
Property is excellent just a little tired as per the age of the premises only to be expected.
Location was great and cost was fair. It has a "back in time" charm to it. The rooms we booked were very clean and tidy and in great condition. Owner was extremely friendly and made sure the rooms were ready for an early check in. She also answered all my previsit questions. There is locked carparking which gave me piece of mind for the car.
The only thing to comment on would be the shower. Pressure was OK, but the fluctuation in temperature was inconsistent. At one point it went from warm to scolding without warning and I had to turn it off quickly to stop it. This might be the older style mixer on the wall causing this.
Good old fashioned service - staff made us feel like friends rather than valued guests. Food in bar was very nice. generous servings and nicely cooked and drained. Owners are a credit to the industry and know how to recruit, train and motivate staff. Hope to come back some time.
Nothing
Perfect location as our function was at the Masonic. We were not expecting much but were pleasantly surprised by the little touches.
As expected the rooms are not very sound proof a fair bit of noise from other guests and pubs.
Awesome friendly clean comfortable place to stay. Strongly recommended. Colleen and staff amazing. Awesome place , stayed 3 nights with daughter and 2 grandchildren. Double room was so comfortable for us all. Cheers Colleen
The room is warm and cosy.
Close to Manawatu stadium
Colleen is absolutely the best hostess. We returned from a show and no food places were open. She wouldn’t hear of it and made us something to eat. The pub part is full of locals and friendly people. Spotless room and location you can’t beat. Def highly recommend. We will be back !
You will feel like you are at home. The staff is friendly and They will ask you what you need. And if you have guests coming, the staff will ask you if I might need extra things like towels, tissues, and the room is clean and comfortable for the whole family.
nothing
not available no breakfast
stairs
Convenient!
The stairs haha
Location was close to where we needed to be, bed was comfortable, room was clean
Function downstairs was very noisy and disruptive for upstairs guests.
Easy option close to the event I was attending. Comfortable place to sleep for two friends.
Hallway outside of room smelt of smoke, understandable given it is an older hotel, but still unpleasant.
Rooms are old but very very clean the staff are awesome and the locals and the pub are fantastic
n/a - i had made other arrangements
i was happy with everything .
Great Location, Clean, warm, good shower pressure
Could do with better quality body wash and shampoo in the shower. And green tea option with the teas provided
Price . Close to venue
Price . Close to venue
Very clean, friendly manager.
The staff , were very helpful, when we were traveling and we were running late, I phoned ahead, they waited for me and my son, which I greatly appreciated.
Very quiet for an inner city location for a midweek stay
Nothing ( this is my third stay'
Staff were incredible and welcoming. Room was exceptionally clean and nice. Close to everything.
Room felt very cosy
Other guest were quite loud opening and closing doors.
The staff were friendly and offered to help with our luggage, also close to town and many restaurants.
That it had no lift but it was a two storey building
Upgraded room in older hotel.
Bed was really comfy. Shower was nice and hot with good pressure.
Function room sound system bass vibrated through the floor.
Good and clean
Smell of marijuana in the corridor coming from one of the rooms
The stairs simply because my husband has difficulty going down and mine is going up :) other than that it was awesome.
parking
floor wasn't vacuum before or during stay also hair in the bed sheets!
Location was great for CBD access. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Easy to find.
Bar closed at about 8 both nights. Meant no access to watching sport on Friday or Saturday night without having to drive back into town. Lack of meals , dinner or breakfast, Only bar snacks (and the bar was shut)
Quite, comfortable and a friendly welcome
Did not have the breakfast
Everything was perfect!! Nothing at all that was not liked
The location was great for where we needed to go. The cleanliness of the room was fantastic. It is an older hotel, so expect little quirks like a tiny bathroom and no air-conditioning, a fan, and a heater are provided, though. The rooms are upstairs, and the entrance shares the same entry/exit as the function room. The chilled bottled water located in the hallway fridge was great.
Remember to switch on the power to the fridge as soon as you arrive.
Bardzo mili gospodarze!
Midweek it was quiet
Suspect the weekends may have extra street noise from passing traffic
Some guests were bit noisy. But they settled down by around 11 pm.
Adequate.I like peaches,too bad if you don't!!
Shower,goes in hot & cold "fits".
Loved the vibe and all the artwork. Room we stayed in was exceptionally clean. Small but very functional for 2 peaple. Bed was softer than we like but slept really well. There was a bar and tab on the ground floor which we thought we may be able to hear. But we couldnt hear antyhing from down stairs. Andy was great even pointing out that we could park around the back and there was a security gate.
The frontage is a bit intimidating but it is an absolute gem. We didn't see any ground floor rooms and you may need to check with Andy if you need mobility access. What we saw was stair access front and back.
Surprised by the quality of the room. Old hotel but upgraded rooms. Good value
No complaints 👌🏻
Stairs to carry our bags upstairs. Maybe a ramp to drag the bags up will be gud since it was a bit steep
Staffs are so kind. They introduce a lots of place for us. 100% gonna come again.
When we needed extra bed unexpectedly, we were immediately accomodated at very little extra cost.
As soon as we arrived we were greeted by a lovely man i think his name was Murray (apologies if incorrect) Our room was ungraded for free which was nice suprise. The room was very clean and cosy/comfortable. Great value for money and just a close walk to town. Thanks alot and much appreciated.
Only this was shower temperature and pressure wasn’t that great but we understand it’s an old building. Did the job though.
No advertised breakfast available
All the extra facilities in our rooms to do breakfast etc. Clean just perfect.
Nothing was wrong.
Easy to book, friendly, helpful staff, perfect for what we needed at such short notice nice and clean comfy beds quiet a pleasant stay
MYbe just a small rubbish bin needed inthe room
Clean, central hotel with kitchen (no hot plate) but everything else you need. Room cleaned daily and a lovely woman runs the hotel. Excellent room rate. Hotel is in Main Street, a short walk to restaurants and Palmy Conference Centre and further short walk to the main square. Excellent for a woman staying on her own, free secure parking, another short walk in the other direction to the New World supermarket. Please note this Hotel has been there for many years, so is not a modern building I enjoyed my 8 night stay and it has a good size bathroom with a large wardrobe.
Nothing
was for celebration so easy to go to bed. Easy to find. Nice staff named Colleen

Our Hostess was so thoughtful and our rooms excellent. Having to change our travel plans they extended our stay with no problems.Location is close to town - walkable. Very comfortable rooms with everything we needed. We would stay there again with no hesitation. Thank you Masonic Hotel.
Very very clean! Lovely touches with the cold water available in the hallway fridge, magazines to read and proper good quality toilet paper.
Nothing, it exceeded my expectations and Colleen is a wonderful host
Clean and spacious. Squeaky floors though.
Very quirky, awesome
Friendly service, nice room and very clean
Had family room was very nice big clean rooms. Polite staff. Enjoyed our stay. Thankyou.
