Beachfront Hotel Hokitika

The staff is really nice and the lobby was clean. However, the bedroom's bathroom was dirty when we checked in. It looked like black mold was in the shower. We had a 2 bedroom beachfront room. The view was beautiful! However the layout of the rooms was weird. You have to walk through one of the rooms to get to the bathroom. The beds were comfortable and the main rooms were clean. We ate at the restaurant in the hotel for breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was not that great of food however their dinner menu is amazing! Their rack of lamb was the best rack of lamb I had while in New Zealand. Definitely eat there for dinner but maybe skip their breakfast.

Highly Recommend We have stayed here before 3 years ago. The hotel is the same, smelt nice was clean and of course still has the ocean view. They have stayed the course and maintained the same service and facilities which in these times is a credit to them. The hotel is equal to any we have stayed in. Ants Chch

Really disappointed in our stay at this hotel. Many people had recommended it as a great place to stay, but we thought it was vastly overrated and had a tiny tiny room with a very small high window so very little light. We had picked one of the cheaper room options, but certainly didn't feel it was value for money. I suspect if you got one of the beach front rooms (and paid the premium for that) then your experience may be quite different! There was no parking available by the time we got there so had to park on the street. Very very hard bed

Was the best accomodation I stay at when I was traveling the south island. Was great value.. had everything I needed and more. Was close to beach and location couldn't have been better. Very friendly people. Very tidy and clean though out the hole building. Would be my first pick out of everything in that that town. A++++

Bit disappointed with our experience. Have stayed in years gone by and really enjoyed. This time we were given room that tradesman had been in and left bathroom in a mess. Reception blamed tradesman for not telling them he had left a mess! Sorry but onus is on staff to check and clean space after repairs have been done. Had to move to another room as no one on site to clean....no bath now. Room very dusty and getting tired. Maybe no one had used room for a while. Restaurant on site. Food ok. Great location.

Great location overlooking the beach right in downtown. Rooms are dated, no ac only a portable fan making the whole place smell damp. We were checking out after breakfast so brought our luggage with us not realizing that breakfast/restaurant was up about 10 stairs. Loved the location though everything else was not nice.

The room I stayed was not expensive one. It was on the ground floor and the window was to the street side. To prevent the people walking down the street from peeking, there was a wooden frame blocking the only window. The room felt like a prison cell. Not enough space even for a desk and chair. I will never stay here again, at least not in that room. People might say that it is at a great location which is not incorrect. However, if you have a car, you could reach anywhere in that town within 5 minutes and there is never a traffic jam. Next time I will try in a motel with more room space.

Easy check in and very friendly helpful staff. The hotel is in a fantastic location near the beach, supermarket and many eateries. The rooms were clean, well appointed with a comfortable bed and pillows. I would stay here again and would recommend to others.
