Reviewed Aug 22, 2026The location is right in the centre of union square and there is a fantastic 4square a few meters across the road. There were some cafes surrounding and the place itself was so nice and the beds just wonderful.
Overall not much to fault really except I could have a few noises when water was going elsewhere but nothing to really to note too much about. The cleanliness and location and everything so nice.

Reviewed Aug 11, 2026The character of the building is gorgeous and the staff very helpful.
I would like to see a lift installed as it’s quite a trek up the stairs with luggage. Not a complaint re the hotel but so many shops were closed Tues and wed. - also the movie theatre. Very frustrating as I could see through the windows items I likely would have purchased and I definitely would have gone to a movie.

Reviewed Jun 24, 2026Location is right on the square, the staff were amazing and the heritage feel was exactly what we were after!
Unfortunately Martinborough has limited activities outside of shopping and wineries, so during the day while it was raining we did find ourselves stuck in the room. It’s a minor issue, but a larger TV would’ve been amazing - the wall it’s on is massive and bare

We were in a Heritage suite and it was very noisy at night with regular trucks idling underneath our windows for a long time around 2-2.30am, then 5am then 6am... Shower was over the bath with a curtain that "sticks" to the body.

Reviewed Jun 1, 2026It was great being in the middle of town and having the bar and restaurant down stairs. We stayed in yhr Heritage room and I was concerned it may have poor insulation and be noisy but it was surprisingly quiet. I’d recommend staying in the main building, esp if you love a bit of history.
Nothing. Couldn’t fault it.
8/10
Reviewed May 25, 2026Being on the square obviously makes this location ideal for walking or cycling to most of the wineries. We were there on a Sunday to Tuesday, so a lot of the wineries, restaurants and bars were closed on the Monday/Monday night. Not the fault of the Hotel obvs, but something to remember in rural NZ. Most venues open Wednesday afternoon through to Sunday evening.
The louvred door between the bedroom and the bathroom only provides visual privacy, if you catch my drift...

Reviewed May 3, 2026Nice receptionist on check in. Different one on check out who was a bit dismissive about us being cold in the room, although she did say sorry about that after her dismissive comment.
The room was freezing when we arrived and even at full the electric heater barely heated the room. Lack of carpeting or rugs didnt help. The bathroom was so cold we didnt want to use the shower. Also the badly fitting double shutter doors to the (in the corner of the room) ensuite didnt provide basic privacy for using the bathroom. It was a frosty morning but decent heating is a must in a hotel room. Also noise from hallway and other rooms not pleasant - again lack of soft flooring meant this was amplified.

It was a wet wet night and there was not really anything to do…there was a library downstairs, but the books were very dated. The union restaurant, though we had a lovely dinner, $11 for a bottle of tap water was pricey. Also we booked for 6.30 pm and were told the Sunday roast had been sold out. A large group showed up after us and we noticed that numerous roast dinners were served to them. Not good customer experience.
