Kiwi Studios Motel

Great location, everything you need is at the front door

I don¿t know what the standard is for 3+ in NZ but this is not even close in America

We usually book a big room as we like a lot of space - however have stayed here before and for a one nighter it is perfect. It has everything you need. It’s not spacious but everything is as how it should be. Very quiet. We were in Unit 1 and didn’t hear a thing. Comfy bed, reasonable size shower and good heating. Close to restaurant restaurants too and an EV charger on the Square

Bathroom very small but everything worked fine.

Location so close to town.Great shower.Lovely helpful staff

Location is excellent, particularly for attending the main theatre venue, with excellent cafes nearby. The staff is wonderful.

Great, friendly staff. Good location.An average budget motel.

The carpet was old and smelly and don't get me started on that blanket/pillow combo from the 1970s

Good facilities and close to all services in town.

The blaring music and burnouts from cars of young people outside the motel on the Friday night. Police sirens added, nothing the motel could control but this problem exists

We enjoyed our short trip...

Trying to excess Sky TV using password was complicated. I gave up couldn't watch any TV programs.

Location was right in the middle of town, lots of shops and entertainment around. Staff were very fast and helpful. Beds were super comfortable! Curtains were blacked out so was able to sleep in a little which was a huge bonus.

Someone had taken our park (Not the hotels fault) People were out and about late at night, and you could hear them quite clearly from our beds. (again, not the hotels fault) There were some dodgy power points and the nightstand lamps kept turning off and on.

Great

Gate was shut when we returned and we hadn’t been warned. Didn’t know how to get back in in the dark.

Pleasant

There was a group of noisy guests.. and i think I was mistakenly thought to be a part of the group and gently reminded to be quiet.. but at least the staff were aware of the noise and actively trying to fix rhe issue :)

The location was great, right in town.

When I arrived ifelt judged by the lady on the desk and that she was rudely abrupt and dismissive. I had just travelled 6 hours to Palmerston north and wanted a break before going the rest of the way home and had been at the hospital with a terminally ill family member. She alsoase me feel unwelcome with my 2 children and if there was more hotels with available rooms (the room I booked online was the only room available ) would of chosen to stay at another hotel as this isn't my first bad experience with kiwi studio. As we were leaving and giving the key back, the same lady who checked me in was checking me out. She ignored me ringing the bell to alert someone that there was someone waiting even though she was in a room loudly talking with another guest or employee she refused to acknowledge me standing in the carpark. It wasn't till another employee walking past called out to her that she finally came to the office.. I found some pills from a previous guest on my floor. I was travelling with my children who are 5yrs old and 1yrs old.. indicating that the room hadn't been vacuumed well even though the lady in the office said I couldn't grab the key to the room early as the rooms weren't ready and I was going to be busy for a few hours and it was easier for me to check in at the time. There was also food stains and some other stain on the underside of the duvet cover that I discovered as I was getting my children into bed.

I loved that it was central close to super market, restaurants, coffee and loved that the basketball arena was down the road.

Location and price

Dated. Not enpugh towels.

We did not have breakfast it was not part of the booking. Like the Handy location for the event we went for.

Loved the location. The beds were comfy and clean, the room was tidy, clean and spacious. The staff were lovely and accommodating for our needs.

Bedding and furniture were a little outdated, it would look awesome with an upgrade.

Everything! Staff were awesome and friendly. Perfect location. Comfy and warm stay with all the facilities we needed.

Location was great

A bit outdated - bathroom sink was very small

The location was in the city. Easy access to many restaurants and facilities

Location, was great central to everything we required.Friendly host.Bed was comfortable Unit had everything we needed.Continental breakfast had good selection. Will be going back to stay again.

Nothing to dislike..

Centre of town good location

Noisy neighbours after 10 despite signs and cars starting engines with exhaust pointing directly at accommodation- fuel emissions
