Ōtoromiro Hotel

Great location and welcoming staff. Conveniently above a great restaurant with a great patio and view.

Bed had seen better days, and the shared facilities would have been inconvenient if there were more guests.

Warm welcome from Staff. First impression was one of cool place and vibe. Room was adequate with awesome balcony.

The Room had no tea/coffee facilities and the bathroom was far enough away. The fact there is no toilet is a bit of a drag.

What a beautiful spot! The view is absolutely stunning, and the food is fantastic. The staff here are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond – they even went the extra mile (literally) to return the sunglasses that I left behind!

can't think of anything

Location and views. The dinner I purchased at the downstairs bar was great.

could have used a chair in the room

Amazing viewsLovely staff - Special mention to the lady at the bar that was the best hotel staff I've seen in a while :)Good value for money

Amazing views, friendly helpful staff, loved the Pizza chicken and cranberry

The location.

Small room and super uncomfortable bed (Metal springs with no cushioning.). The breakfast was very weak.

Breakfast was average but adequate

The room was clean and we'll presented BUT needed to be better ventilated prior to arrival as had a very stale smell of smelly bodies

The style of the accommodation, the buildibfa architecture, the ambience and the old-world charm, with a beautiful covered shared veranda overlooking the bay and the harbour in the distance. Period doors from the room to access veranda. Nice welcome and tour of the place. Thank you for the room upgrade. Excellent and tadty sourdough style bread for breakfast (but rest more badic). Lucky, as other guests staying around were quiet. Hotel was not full. The hotel sign design is lovely. Easy to walk the side streets in the village with cute finds along the way and an impressive newly renovated jetty accessible to all I would be hesitant to bike the narrow main road around the harbour but there is a biking and a combined walking trail going through Governors Bay, skirts around the smaller bays closer to the actual shoreline. A relaxing stay in an off beat location.

Due to it's location the cars that drive too fast descending the winding narrow road to Governors Bay can be hear from a great distance. Thank goodness the hoons stopped driving shortly after midnight. Be careful of speeding vehicles through the village.The storing of cleaning supplies and piled linen to be laundered in one of the bathrooms.Although the facilities were clean thus gave a messy impression. The room got very stuffy overnight but not able to leave doors to veranda open overnight, as other rooms with guests had also access. Some more care for the begonias growing in the pots on the verandah would be welcomed and such small steps would boost the image of this lovely looking and friendly pub.

I had a lovely stay at Otomiro! Everything was great, comfortable and easy!The staff was just amazing and so accommodating!Stunning location and great walking trails nearby.

The hotel looked over the bay and was excellent in being close to Lyttelton and the Banks Peninsula.The room was very quiet, sunny and welcoming having been refurbished to contemporary standards. The bed was comfortable and the bedding was almost new, fresh and clean.Parking was easy. I would definitely book again in the future.

The breakfast room was in need of a complete refurbishment and the Continental Breakfast was very very basic.I would have preferred private facilities but this minor inconvenience is compensated by the reasonable price.

Lovely views & staff were exceptional.The sourdough bread for breakfast.

The boy racers roaring past the hotel in the early hours of the morning.

The rooms were a perfect size for 1-2 people! They were a suitable size. Lighting was great. Next to the windows. Aswell as the balcony view! The bar was awesome! Plenty of options. Dinner was great! Also a very special mention to the afternoon manager Rozie? Roz! Her hospitality was absolutely immaculate! She was very polite. Calm. Professional. Seen us through any problems or questions we had! She is definitely a great asset to your team.

Walking down those concrete stairs to the car park absolutely drunk and too many beers deep was very much a struggle!!! Hahhaa. But other than that! Nothing at all.

My grandchildren loved the breakfast

The bed I had wasn’t comfortable but the other 2 were fine

Location.

I was disappointed with my stay at this hotel. First of all, the shared bathroom and toilet facilities were far from ideal. The showers were old, poorly maintained, and very basic—not what you expect for the price.The food was another letdown. The "free breakfast" was nothing more than cereal and toast served in a bland and uninspiring dining hall. For the rates they charge, I expected much better quality and variety.Overall, the experience felt very budget-oriented but without the corresponding low price. I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless absolutely necessary.

Friendly staff

The hotel is old and needs urgent cleaning, maintenance and updating. The pictures look nice, but once you arrive you see how old everything is. Also, no continental breakfast. Just break and cereal and instant coffee. Wi-Fi doesn’t work. Shared bathroom and toilets. Pool can only be used if not booked.

The view, the staff, the food in the restaurant..... Excellent !

Breakfast was a bit too basic and not very lovely presentated.But it was enough and the coffee was good.

Spectacular view, because friendly staff upgraded us from a mountain view room to one at the front!

The most wonderful staff ! Got the best vibe ! Everyone seems genuinely happy in their work which was totally contagious.Food was so great !! Really surprised by the vegan options available but very thankful !Fab location, couldn’t hear the road in the slightest.

Maybe some of the communal areas could’ve been a little cleaner (door handles / locks). But definitely appreciate this can vary depending on guests staying !
