Safe & secure with regards to carpark & entry into the building. Hot water was not running until.7am but access to showers & toilets were clean & convenient. The kitchen had essentials that were easy accessed & plenty to go round. Location was superb close walking distance to the township, however, a little noisy from traffic. Rooms definitely had a fan & air condition that was easy to follow so was pleased. Overall a great place with good value for money to say the least. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Mike, Auckland 12 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice tidy clean room.

This was listed as a hotel when in fact was less than a backpackers place. The double bed was squashed into a room suited for a single bed. We were in room 12 and were told it was the quiet room. How can a room next to a shared bathroom be quiet. Showers were going an until 1.30am.......each time a toilet was flushed the plumbing sounded like a jet plane going overhead. Shared kitchen was again more of a backpackers style, crappy cups was all that was available. Notice saying guests were responsible for cleanliness of kitchen, in these times that should not be guests responsibility but the management to ensure everything is sanitized properly. Stay well away from this place if you want a comfortable peaceful night. We should have slept in the car. On a good note both owners were really nice people and very civil. ##### Christine Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 15 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This is a very good budget accomodation. The shared bathrooms are clean, as are the rooms. There were plenty of charging spots in my room which was great for all of the on the road devices i had. Very close to a grocery store and there is a kitchen you can use to make your own meal if you are so inclined. The bed mattress was way too soft/saggy for me. Also, rooms at the front have to put up with truck traffic in the early AM hours. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 22 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lovely old building. Clean. Good staff. Great place to stay if you like character hotels. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Susan 12 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Convenient stay in town Don't be put off by the exterior which is an older hotel by the looks of it. The room (I booked a private room) was small but nicely furnished. It was very quiet and I was right across from the showers which was convenient. There is a large kitchen and off-street parking. It's located just a block off of the main road in Waihi which is a small, pretty town with the beautiful just 10 km away. It was very good value for money. ##### Susan Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Dave 22 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Dave Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 10 Feb 2019 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 31 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The New Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alfreton-Hotels-The-New-Inn.h33143838.Hotel-Information) > > [The Halston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carlisle-Hotels-The-Halston.h35127212.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [The Garth Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Garth-Hotel.h2245514.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Flaminia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sirmione-Hotels-Hotel-Flaminia.h1421259.Hotel-Information) > > [Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Rainforest-Retreat.h7088168.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Parking in Stratford-upon-Avon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-0-d5703-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Grand Hôtel La Cloche Dijon - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dijon-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-La-Cloche-Dijon-MGallery.h390.Hotel-Information) > > [Golf Hotels in Kos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kos-Hotels-Golf-Hotels.0-0-d1804-tGolfHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Gennadi Grand Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Gennadi-Grand-Resort.h22203863.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotels Valencia Province](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Valencia-Province-Apart-Hotels.d6023332-aaApartHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with a View in Black Forest](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Black-Forest-Hotels-Hotel-With-A-View.0-0-d6034799-thotelwithaview.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Newgrange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Navan-Hotels-Newgrange-Hotel.h2305538.Hotel-Information) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantica Golden Beach -Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paphos-Hotels-Atlantica-Golden-Beach.h19186768.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [The Arthington Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-The-Arthington-Guest-House.h2434893.Hotel-Information) > > [Hard Rock Hotel Los Cabos All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Cabos-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Los-Cabos-All-Inclusive.h34183472.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Malta (MLK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/mlk/birmingham-to-malta) > > [Flights from Bangkok (BKK) to Tuban (DPS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bkk/dps/bangkok-to-denpasar) > > [Flights from Inverness (INV) to Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/inv/ncl/inverness-to-newcastle) > > [Flights from Catania (CTA) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cta/lhr/catania-to-london) > > [easyJet](https://www.expedia.co.uk/EasyJet-Flights.cU2.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Aberdeen (ABZ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/abz/london-to-aberdeen) ### Cars > [Car hire in Tampa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Tampa-Intl.d4280404.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Apollo Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apollo.d55550.Holidays-City-Breaks)
