Everything was good, nice price and clean and tidy, the only detail was that our room was next to the kitchen, so it was noisy at night
Fully stocked big communal kitchen was great! Very clean room and very clean bathroom. The manager was lovely and very quick to help when our code didn't work the first time. Very comfortable bed! Location is great, easy 5 min drive to city centre. It is the tiniest room ever with little storage but for a single person or a quick stay it is perfect. Great value for the stay!
In response to my previous comments....I don't disagree the room was newly painted. To say the room was comfortable for families with the beds in it there was hardly room for a small table and chairs. The only only facility was a fridge, nothing else, no other furniture, not even a mirror on the wall. No rubbish bin, my towel while rolled up on the bed tidy was damp. Further inspection found human shit on the door of the toilet on both sides at about hand height. There was also a towel hung over the shower that had clearly been used and was also soiled by the same shit. The issue was raised with the woman attending at the time. I called her to 103 and showed her our issue on the door and shower. She did not offer to come and clean them, she did not even take the dirty towel away. Bathroom facilities were just a hand basin. We are not telling untruths there was three of us in the party and all would agree with my comments and are willing to put them on paper if you wish to dispute. I would not recommend anyone to stay in this establishment . The three of us stay in motels often and this one would be the worst and might I add, not the cheapest. A truly unfortunate experience. We have asked for a refund of the second night to which to date had not happened which we will be pursuing further.
Amazing, id recommend micro to anyone looking for a nice warm and quiet stay even though it may be a small room its very comfortable with a nice bed also you have your own tv and heater which is great its very clean and affordable too which is a bonus the staff here are also very helpful and kind and helping you in anyway they can its also very close to pak and save and a few other food shops i give this a 5star and id definitely consider staying here again
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of the best motel experiences I’ve had in Hamilton! I originally booked a double sleeper room, and when I arrived with my friend, the manager greeted us warmly and showed us to our room. It was nice and clean, but we were curious to see if we could upgrade. He kindly showed us a studio room — and it was absolutely beautiful! Spacious, modern, and super comfortable. We expected the price to be much higher, but we were pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the upgrade cost was. We agreed on the spot! The service was professional and polite throughout our stay. The room was spotless, and we had access to a well-maintained kitchen where we could make tea or coffee. There was even complimentary milk in the fridge, plus tea and coffee provided by the motel — such a nice touch. Our stay in Hamilton was made even better by how easy, welcoming, and relaxing this place was. If you’re visiting the area, I 100% recommend staying here. Great value, great atmosphere, and great hospitality.
Stayed at the shared room for 2 nights. For the higher-than-usual price I expected a more-than-decent room. However, room was small and cramp. There was this 2 old people who seem to have been staying there like forever and the entire room smells like them, whom I observed to not shower at all. The younger people were cool though. Definitely thankful that I still have a roof over my head for 2 nights so it still deserves a 2-star.
The single room was tiny,smaller than a prison cell I am told (I have never been to prison).No room for a chair, a wardrobe or anything. No visitors allowed.You open up the door and it hits the bed. Road noise is bad if you open the window, but there is a heat pump in every room.The one staff person was satisfactory, not particularly going out of her way to be kind, guess she gets a lot of negative reports. Would not recommend.
I've got room on the top floor at the back of the hotel. I'm really impressed by the ability of the owner in putting all amenities to fit in this room. All you need is right there at once. My double bed is a little bit smaller than I thought but it's OK. The shower and bathub are nice. TV, fridge, and microwave oven work well. Parking space is quite sufficient both in front, on the left side, and at the back. Located on Victoria street where there are shops and restaurants. All in all, this is one of good hotels in Hamilton.
I have been here 2 nights in a dorm. I was alone in the dorm both nights. Therefore it was always quite. The room was nice and cozy. Everything was clean. The shower was super nice even though it was really small (not the height). The kitchen was also a little small and could use some improvements but there was everything you needed. It wasn't the cleanest kitchen but definitely clean enough to use. I have no idea how things change there when it's full house but I would definitely go back here if I should ever visit Hamilton as a backpacker again. (It is also in a pretty good location I explored Hamilton by foot and had no problem!)
Our room was an actual joke. It was a cheap deal but you get what you pay for. The room was the size of the bed, literally, there was no room at all. My partner and I could barely even pass each other, and we're not very big people.. There were hairs (five or so) on my pillow and the linen didn't smell nice, although wasn't physically dirty. There was a fan which was an absolute god send / necessity but it made the noise of a lawnmower. There was no lamp, just the main overhead light. There were no shelves or hooks in the shower/shower room so where are you supposed to hang your towel?? And the shower didn't drain well either, I had to stop mid shower to allow the water to drain. There were two dispensers in the shower that you would presume to have shower gel in but both were empty. The kitchen facilities seemed fair, we didn't really use it but did notice there was no drying racks to put your washing up onto.. other than that it seemed alright.. the lady at reception was friendly and welcoming, if it wasn't for her I would have given it only one star.. there are other rooms available which might obviously be more suitable but can only go on our experience.
