“You must try the Ruakura Mitre 10 branch of Columbus Coffee. They do a great breakfast and coffee and the cabinet selection is wonderful. I also liked the more relaxed pace of this smaller Mitre 10 store. Treat yourself.”

“Yum yum and As we can see, there is much salmon in their salmon sushi. So far valuable sushi is not common in Hamilton. The staff is chatty and the service is good. Highly recommended!”

“I had a really pleasant stay here. The check-in and check-out process was super easy and efficient — staff were friendly and helpful throughout. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a short stay. Parking can be a bit tricky, so it’s worth planning ahead. If you don’t want to spend too much on parking, be prepared to park about a 10-minute walk away. Centre Place offers $10 parking if you register in advance, which is a great option. Overall, a great value hotel in a convenient location — I’d definitely stay again!”

“The perfect place between Auckland and Hamilton to stretch the legs and enjoy some fantastic coffee and food options. I always have been and always will be a fan of their world famous chicken and bacon club sandwich, the popcorn shrimp tacos are also a big favorite of ours too. Highly recommend to all.

“Went in for dinner last night with a big group of 30+ people. Coming from a hospitality background myself, I knew it would be a challenge for the staff, but they handled it really well. The fire alarm went off twice during our visit, so we had to evacuate each time — obviously annoying for everyone, but totally out of the staff’s control. They followed protocol and managed the situation calmly and professionally, especially considering many of the team looked quite young. Big credit to them. Surprisingly, they even gave us a 10% discount, which they didn’t have to do since the issue wasn’t their fault. It was a nice gesture and appreciated by the whole group. The food has definitely improved since I was last here a couple of years ago, which was great to see. Service was spot on too — friendly, attentive, and efficient. All in all, a good experience given the circumstances. I don’t normally leave reviews, but this one was well deserved. Will definitely be back.”

“Thanks for the personalised experience. Empty bar and happy to take song requests. Great experience.”

“An amazing place with a very vibrant atmosphere. The food and coffee are amazing. We specially go in just for the cheese scones. These are such amazingly scrumptious scones nowhere to be bought in Hamilton. The staff are wonderful and always interact well. Juna and Jody are marvelous. They always greet us with a very warm welcome. This is our weekly weekend go to place.”
