“Great experience staying at this hotel. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We had come to Hamilton for my mums medical appointment. There was a lady named Judy who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and that we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again and recommend this hotel to anyone.”

“My mum and I were going to a show at the Clarence theatre and the location of Ventura was perfect. A short walk and well lit up. Our stay at Ventura was very nice, rooms clean and tidy. The included breakfast was great. Thanks again for returning forgotten jacket.”

“Stayed here for one night at one of their powered RV sites. The pools are clean and feel so nice, especially in cold weather/ rain. Showers are hot, kitchen and laundry room are great. Best Holiday Park we’ve stayed at. Very reasonable prices as well!”

“Stayed in Napier great places to park offering huge showers, very clean park very friendly staff.well equiped kitchen. We only stayed overnight but would recommend staying there. Traveling in camper.”

“It is absolutely amazing experience for staying in here. Sarah and Amar are so lovely and helpful!!! Sure I will be back again.”

“Arrived early and was booked in with a free upgrade to a room with a sea view and a spa staff great room spotless”

“We had a powered site for two nights (early October 2025). The bathrooms are very clean & tidy (plenty of toilets and showers). And there's a large kitchen, with a seated dining area. The hosts are very nice. Oh, the location is just behind the beach. And the caravan park is perfectly located = short 8min drive to the city (easiest parking for motorhomes is directly across the train tracks, from the Dunedin train station). It's a quick walk up over the tracks to access the train station AND the city centre. And 30min north-east of the caravan park is the Albatross Centre (worth going to). There's a "coastal route" and a "plateau route" = both are the MOST scenic drives you shall ever do in your life.”

“Fantastic local cafe, great breakfast, clean toilets, a perfect place to stop on our travels south.”

“We attended our daughter's dinner in the chancellor room.We had a bar and a big dining room and foyer for photos for the wedding .Our hostess and bar tender Charlotte was personable and very professional.We loved the atmosphere and we were grateful for all the help Charlotte did for us by setting flowers and decorations around the room. 5 stars at the fable hotel. THANK YOU”

“Stayed in a studio cabin. Good and clean. Good kitchen (no oven though if you needed one of those). Comfortable. Plenty of parking space. Suspect may be cold in winter with only one electric heater. Good walks nearby. Friendly staff.”

“Awesome place, very friendly people, very friendly poodle”

“You maybe greeted by Sam. He is fantastic, friendly and approachable. My stay was very comfortable, room was clean and tidy, perfect location (for me),and great affordability”

“We have had a few stays at this motel and we have to say it has always been beautifully clean, sufficiently appointed, comfortable and private. A little road noise at busy times but otherwise quiet and very pleasant to stay. Would def recommend.”

“Ideally situated in central Wellington, this property offers exceptional value. Its immaculate condition and convenient amenities, including a dishwasher, washer, and dryer, make it perfect for families. The strong water pressure and heat pumps in the bedrooms and lounge enhance comfort. We highly recommend this property for future stays.”

“I have been staying at the hostel from July onwards. Recently the organization upgraded their Wi-Fi and improvement in data uploading and downloading speeds has been amazing. I am very happy staying here and it suits my current needs.”

“Came super early but not a problem. The reception lady was lovely and extremely helpful. The unit was handy as I bought a car and trailer. It was clean and tidy, I don't believe the photos on the website do it justice. Much, much better than the lodge I came from. I noticed that they provide meals to truck drivers, as I was working away from home, I asked if I could get tea like the truckies....they obliged. Lovely, lovely place. Will be back next week! Yay..”

“I will try to leave the most honest opinion possible for future travelers. after having stayed in many hostels in Auckland Hit Hostel is definitely the hostel where I felt the best.. There are inevitably things that can be unpleasant like the fact of not having windows in the rooms, but the spaces common areas completely fill this gap because they make us feel like we are in a large shared accommodation/ Flat where it is easy to meet people because it is a small hostel. the staff and the types of travelers who stay there are great. The staff do their utmost to keep the place clean even if unfortunately the cleanliness of a hostel also depends on the cleanliness of the travelers staying there at a given time and these are factors that we cannot control.. In any case price/quality ratio Hit hostel is the best you can find.”

“Excellent value for money. The host was more than helpful. Sure, the rooms are dated, but super clean and tidy. Location was excellent, only a 5 minute walk to Newmarket shopping and the Auckland domain. Heaps of very good eateries nearby. Definitely worth a look.”

“Have stayed for 3 days when visiting Auckland. Easy to find and easy to get to anywhere in Auckland including the city centre. The owner provides great communication while providing valuable information about the area. The room was very tidy and clean with useful facilities such as a charging station for a mobile phone/watch beside the bed. The owner is always at the premises and provides prompt help if needed. I needed a little help to get some information about the area near the motel and the owner was kindly giving me lots of information with recommendations of the shops. I needed a corkscrew to drink wine late at night, so I contacted the owner, and he provided it without any sign of displeasure, even though it was late at night. Definitely recommend to stay this place when you need accommodation in Auckland :)”

“Very clean. Nicely appointed. Good service. Took us on shuttle to train station on time.”

“Free Function Room Hire. Was there for.21st birthday. Had a great set up and easy access to and from Kitchen. The old features to the place added character and great atmosphere. The bar tab procedure worked well.”

“We had a great stay. The rooms were clean, tidy and spacious. The staff at the front desk were extremely helpful which was appreciated. The security was brilliant with keyed access only and a car park which was undercover and secure. Location was close to shops but far enough away to remove ourselves from the crowds. A leisurely 5 minute stroll down to all the restaurants and bars which was great. 2 min walk to beach - amazing. Thanks for hosting us and see you again soon”

“We checked in late, however, Sam the Manager presented the key to our room showing how to use it. He was very helpful to us in providing a lot of information. Next day, he upgraded our room to a very nice double bed serviced apartment 2E with a nearly new washing machine , dryer, dish washer and mini fridge. The sleep quality was great. The apartment is very clean with clean sheets and towels. There was no mould or insects anywhere. The Heat pump was great and noiseless. The Hotel is located close to everything in the CBD, especially, Sky Tower, Queen st, Auckland ferry terminal and Bus Terminal to go to the Airport. There is a carpark in the ground floor ($25 per night). The Housekeeping staff were amazing, changing sheets and towels every second day. We loved staying here for 2 nights and will stay again in the future.”

“For 135 a night, this place was very nice. Room was clean and spacious for what we needed, the beds were comfortable. We had a good rest before our early morning flight, only a short drive to the airport from here. Would definitely recommend.”

“The owner is passionate, caring, and really accommodating albeit a bit crazy (I mean that lovingly). The room smelled great and was clean. This my fault for not reading clearly, but the room doesn’t have air con and there is no fan. I just came from Antarctica and therefore super hot- maybe it wouldn’t have been a big deal otherwise. PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE BOOKING THROUGH A THIRD PARTY- Agoda made things really difficult for the owner and me by overbooking. The location was good for me due to what I needed but it’s a bit far from central. With everything said, I’d stay here again for the owners genuine.”

“Okay, so I have reviewed this place already. But I feel it worth it to add another positive review after my last few stays. Have stayed at 162 many times now. It's fairly short drive from the airport makes it a convenient overnight halt for me. The rooms are well appointed and clean. The owner is a absolute delight to deal with, his customer service is above and beyond. Showers have great pressure, rooms are toasty and warm, and beds comfortable with quality linen. Full Sky TV offered, and the motel is across the road from the Westfield mall. Waking up in a motel on Christmas morning is never fun, but I was glad I was staying at 162! Thanks team, keep up the great work!!!”

“Lovely, clean motel that's been recently decorated. Good location, walking distance to the Uni. Really friendly staff who go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable. Will definitely come back here.”

“Great value hotel with a delightful host. We were lucky to find the Executive Suite available at short notice before New Year's Eve. The room had a very comfortable bed and everything we needed for a great stay - excellent shower, large kitchenette, TV, iron etc. Bronnie was extremely helpful and friendly, standing out even in a country of full lovely people. The only slight annoyance was the occasional loud vehicle speeding down the road outside but short of replacing the French windows to the balcony, there is not much Bronnie could do about that. I hope to stay again! Thank you.”

“Took 3 of my cousins to dine there for lunch. The food was amazing, the service was amazing and love that they have pool tables since we love playing pool. Overall 10/10, definitely recommend them.”

“Super clean and spacious. I stayed in a studio & it had its own private patio out back. The thermal pool was great, the grounds are immaculate. Really friendly and accomadating hosts. Carpark is right in front of your room and the wait for uber to location is not super long (less than 10min when not peak). Would stay again.”
