- Conveniently located extremely clean and friendly staff, sky channel a real bonus
- Very convenient for visiting familyClean accomodation and very friendly staff
Cons -
- All good
- Only fault was slightly poor water pressure.
- Bed wasn’t great. Only two thin towels for two nights. Very small amount of toiletries, we had to buy our own shampoo. Curtains didn’t fully close and the outdoor light stayed on all night which didn’t help falling asleep. A business on the other side of the river started their noisy activities at 6.30 am. The childrens play area looks unsafe.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Location slightly removed from city centre but close proximity to restaurants and supermarkets. Facilities clean and well kept. Lots of parking and outdoor seating.
Only fault was slightly poor water pressure.
Very nice manager. Close to shops, New world, bus and pub.
Close to Woolston Village and nice location next to the river.

Spacious room for my family of 6 & our dog, we had a trailer with us and were able to park that as well
Inexpensive, nicely located even though it is 4km away from the city center, big room
It is pretty basic, mattress is to soft, probably old
Spacious, pet friendly with access to a great dog walking area. Clean bedding, Netflix, kitchen facilities, and comfortable lounge suite. Very handy to food outlets too.
A little noisier than expected with traffic, most people probably wouldn’t notice it though. We lived in a back section and don’t hear road noise.
Large room. Basically furnished but warm and comfy. The heater was put on prior to arrival for which we were very grateful: a nice friendly gesture!
No hairdryer nor coffee plunger?also Booking.com didn’t indicate that there would be $20extra for having dogs… it’s advertised as dog friendly but that extra charge isn’t evident until check in. We understand why, but ….
Great pet friendly Motel, direct access to Avon river to walk dogs. Totally recommend staying there
Situated in Woolston, it is handy to the shopping centre. Well lit up at night for security, and there is a park for every room.
Nothing we don’t like about Arcadia Motel.
Excellent facilities for a person with less mobility (we stayed in unit 11 which has disabled-access). Everything we needed in the apartment and the owner Jeff and his team went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable.
the tv worked
I paid $780 for 3 nights I do understand that the cricket was on but there was no salt or pepper and there were dead inseces under our bed and the people next to us were so rude and at 7pm we sat outside our unit and she sceamed at us to shutup"
Didn’t order
I wiped dust off the whole room and as I’m an asthmatic this caused me great discomfort Very dusty and unclean by the toiletAnts on the benchDidn’t replace all sachets each day of our four night stayTea sachets were very cheap and didn’t taste at all nice Not value at all for the money we were charged Would not recommend Top dollar for motel didn’t deliver
Clean bedding, good shower pressure, good TV program selection,
Toilet floor is not cleaned as well as it should be, other units occupied by disgusting people from Housing NZ, people should be told when booking, we would never stay there again and will ask the question at future accommodation. Felt totally uncomfortable when checking in as the reception person came and looked through the drivers window and identified everyone, very creepy
We love staying here as it central to where we wanted to go. Supermarket, MacDonalds, and other eating places within walking distance.
Currently there is an ant problem which has been on go8ng since the earthquake. The owner is trying his best to eradicate them. Nothing too major.
It was very convenient for where we needed to be. The motel was very clean and comfortable with plenty of space, and was well lit up for great security.
There’s nothing we didn’t like about the property but it is a little outdated.
A lovely clean well valued unit in a great location.
Very clean, nice staff, good location.
