Provider-sourced guest reviews.
There was a water running sound in the radiator the whole entire night. It kept us awake and made it for a restless night. There was also a sound coming from The bathroom all night that was equally as frustrating.
Location was great and it was free parking at weekends, which is becoming rarer and rarer in NZ.
Comfortable. Great location
Nothing
Small rooms with bathroom well designed, clean, comfortable beds, great towels, warm, good views, very central, great for overnight stay, free parking, close to airport, good value for money
Can only boil a jug, no other kitchen facilities, not even a toaster, few utensils, tea, coffee supply ok but hadn't been topped up. Traffic noise an issue on the Friday night. Stayed again Monday no problem.
Comfort
Nothing
Location
When i tried to use their fan, the dust flew out and went straight to our bed so i have to cleaned the bed.
Location was excellent
Value for money, rooms were small and the property was a bit tired looking
Good location, everytike i stay at this property but this time when i enter the room, there was a strong food smell in a whole room, i think last customer cook food inside. Thanks
Strong Food smell, when i arrive
Great location, lovely clean room, comfortable bed
The weird step from the room into the bathroom was a bit of a trip hazard. I wasn't told that there were renovations going on the floor I was staying on, and the noise was a little surprising, but not a deal breaker
Only the location
Hand basin in bathroom, sink tap was broken, fridge was not good, no door racks, freezer needed defrosting and a rack, toilet flush button broken. 9
Location, hight of the ceiling, bed comfy
nothing in particular.
Close to venue. Staff happy to check in early
Windows didn't shut properly and was raining and windy so loud and noisy
Good location. Receptionist was lovely.
First room had not been made up after the previous occupant. Second room smelt very bad and windows could not be opened. Hot water was available at hand basin but not in shower; shower was luke warm at best. Bathroom needed a good scrub. Missing door in the communal kitchen meant the freezing winds just blew around the room.
Zentrale Lage, nettes Personal
Schon sehr abgewohnt, Schimmel im Bad und an den Fenstern
Very friendly staff, convenient location and comfortable space.
none.
Easy to find
A soulless hotel in an old building with no food options and limited facilities
Easy to find
Lack of reception to ask question . Didn’t answer the phone number provided
Das Zimmer war viel kleiner als in der Beschreibung und das Bett ungeeignet für 2 Personen. Die Möblierung, Raumaufteilung und Ausstattung absolut miserabel.
shower power
Room wasnt ready at check in and had to wait - a bit dirtier than expected. Was way overpriced (although if i had booked on the day not 6 month early price was almost half) overall a bit smelly
Room was thoroughly cleaned. Staff was helpful
Parking was an issue. No spots available.
Das Zimmer war sehr klein.
Im Zimmer hat es keine Möglichkeit ein Kleidungsstück aufzuhängen.
I arrived within the period that indicated i would when making the booking. The front office was unattended and no key was left out, or email correspondence as to what to do on arrival. I tried all available phone numbers with no response. I waited over 30 mins before someone showed up to give me a key.
Great location, friendly staff, great clean room and serviced daily.
Strong cooking smell in room at all times - as if the fan from a kitchen nearby was being pushed directly into my room. Very strong smell - hard to sleep with this and my work clothes smelled like this when i arrived at work. My room had a large gap in the window that unfortunately couldn't be closed any more or shut. Meaning I could hear very loud wind blowing all night, feel the cold draught coming through the window while trying to sleep. Also the fan in the bathroom was permanently running - and very old and loud. Not sure why I couldn't switch it on/off at the wall like most hotels. It was hard to sleep with this loud fan going all night close to the bed, even with the bathroom door closed. Next time I'll bring ear plugs. Great location though.
Very clean, good location & kind staff
Parking
The location is good and right in the city centre. The place reminded me a bit of a hostel-style setup, with a communal kitchen the town itself is beautiful — Queen’s Park was lovely, and there are plenty of things to see and do in the area.
There is parking available within the hotel, but for some reason we weren’t allowed to use it and were instead directed to park on the street or use overnight parking at the mall. This was inconvenient, especially when you want to sleep in, as we had to set an alarm just to manage parking.
Location , clean, friendly staff
Shower in 403 did not get hot, remained tepid only. Sink water temperature was hot
The bed was comfortable, the location was good, the TV was a good size, and we were fortunate to secure 1 of the 5 parking spots.
The smell was horrible, only the hallways had A/C rooms were stuffy, the windows didn't stay open and or close properly, 1 room the exhaust fan didn't turn off the other room the exhaust fan didn't work, low sink and a tiny shower.
There was a toilet odor when I arrived, had to open windows
Well organized
Nothing very think wer perfect
The black mould in the fridge which made it unsafe for me to use, the heater full of dust which made my asthma worse and the unclean towels I got that were supposed to be clean
Very comfortable bed and awesome staff
The room needed an extra chair. The only window that opened was damaged aittle so opening/closing was quite difficult.
location price
everything was good
Rooms are very tired and run down. Didn't feel really clean either.
Good place to stay right in town. Comfy room, great shower!
There are parts of the hotel that are beginning to look quite tired and the stairwell often smelled from the food being cooked in the common area.
Handy to the middle of town
Needs a bit of care now, broken windows with glass over top, blown doors in the bathroom but handy, clean & comfortable
There is nothing good to write about. There is no provided parking. The building has old and dirty windows, resulting in a lot of road noise as this property is on a main street. The floor we were on smelled like multiple people were cooking their dinner with no ventilation.
The facility is filthy. Carpets are stained. There were cigarette burns on the countertop and table. Furniture was dirty. The facility seems to be more apartment building than hotel. We canceled our stay and lost one nights cost, but you couldn't pay me to stay in this property.
Clean and tidy. Staff friendly
Nothing
The room was fine a the shower is old and needs better mould cleaning.
The shared dining and Kitchen was no clean, there were no frying pans or baking dishes we had to get the dishes from our room. The stove took ages to warm up. Parking can be a night mare.
Somewhere to stay
No parking, no beside tables, bathroom was to small, clostrophobic space
nothing
Advertised with parking - there was non Told to park out front - asked about parking meters advised that we can park there for free - PARKING FINE $70. Rooms small and STUFFY. No ventilation, no opening windows, no air conditioner. Tried to cancel the second night stay the hotel would not agree. Booked on BOOKING.COM COULD NOT CONTACT THEM!!! Priced as a regular hotel - worse then a Backpackers.
Warm greetings as we arrived. The two bedroom apartment was ideal, the kitchen area useful and the proximity to shops and restraunts great as we did not have a car. We have stayed with Ibis several times on our way to Rakiura and returning to Wellington. The room cleaner was friendly and wheeled one of our bags to the lift when she saw we had our hands full.
The rooms are small but contained everything needed for our stay.
Bed was itchy!
Really nice room and very clean. I think the website needs to take down that they have parking because you don't. When asked, he said they don't use the parking garage anymore and you park out front. However, you have to pay up to $40 a day for that. We were there for 6 days so do the math.
Well priced and could not be more central
The hand basin in the bathroom has no room for your toiletries. The lounge is quite small if you have a few people in your group like we did.
There were shops but didnt like the motel i got bites all over my body
Close to the city centre - shopping mall across the road
We had to pay for parking $10 a day - ended up being ok as we could park in the carpark across the road but it was an additional cost
Location. Beds are super comfy!
Pay parking
Close to town easy to walk to shops etc.
Old and run down, dark and dreary.
Rooms were clean and cozy.
I had messaged about a 3 bed place they said the room I book didn't have 3 beds but looking few days before hand there was a room with 3 beds available. also there was no room in the car park the whole time we were there so we had to pay for parking the whole weeekend.
Not coming back. Broken toilet seat, cracked basin. Mouldy shower grout. Just didn’t feel clean
Great central location, appreciated the advice re street parking
Everything was perfect, great value for money, can't fault Ibis Hotel in Invercargill
there was nothing
room very cold when arrived, heater not on and when turned on didnt work properly and froze all night!
Location
Shower tiles felt slimy
Really neat room with everything we needed.
There’s a step going in to the bathroom. There needs to be some sort of watch the step sign or marking and at night maybe a wee strip light as it’s not a small step and not easily seen.
Very clean very quiet
Comfortable bed warm room and excellent shower, some small niggles towel rail in bathroom not working, cups in room too small but nothing really significant.
The location was perfect for our needs
When we arrived the room was freezing cold it was the middle of winter and the heating had not been turned on and being an older building it took all night to heat up. The photos of the room were not accurate with the room we had it was disappointing as we were meeting with other couples and entertaining before heading out for the night this is the reason we payed more for a two bedroom apartment but to our disappointment it was just a two bedroom studio there was no extra space at all not what photos indicated at all no seating area at all
Location - Though diffilcult for parking
Basement Room - Very Small Dark & Dingy, Smelt of Indian Cuisine
Central, comfortable, clean, great comfortable beds
No complaints for a 3.5 star establishment
Very quiet, great bed, really clean and great location
