Scenic Hotel Marlborough

Rooms and interior very modern and up to date, swimming pool big and lovely area.

Wonderful large room with smooth linen and brilliant bathroom. Staff are exceptional- can’t wait to return

De locatie in het centrum van Blenheim is goed, daar is dan ook wel alles wat echt beviel mee gezegd.

Als je op doorreis bent is het oké om een nachtje door te brengen. Maar verwacht een gedateerd en ultiem sfeerloos hotel, dat in niets excelleert. Het hotel oogt alsof er al zeker 15 jaar geen renovaties meer zijn doorgevoerd. Natuurlijk hoeft niet ieder hotel even modern te zijn, maar een kleurtje op de muur of wat andere aankleding zou toch niet te veel moeten kosten. Wat een sfeerloze bedoeling. Het slechtste waren de bedden; de matrassen waren letterlijke kuilen waar je in lag, die zijn al een heel aantal jaren toe aan vervanging. Het ontbijt was ook zeer matig; de paar items die er zijn smaken nergens naar.

Location is great

Needs property upgrade maintenance

Great location, close to everything. It’s only a short walk to the city centre, and we really enjoyed the Saturday market—it was awesome!!

Unfortunately, we arrived when the weather was cool to say the least so despite its close proximity to town we were unable to go in the heavy rain to seek out a restaurant in the evening. Instead we used the spa facilities for the 30 minute slot that remained: the spa was clean and we would have liked to stay in for longer. The last orders in the hotel restaurant was 8.30pm, so we chose to eat there and the food was good: the waiter was courteous and friendly too. Unfortunately our bed was the least comfortable of those we had slept in on our tour of Aus and NZ and the sunken mattress definitely needs replacing. If you are on the top floor of the hotel, you need to be fairly tall to look out of the window to see out which makes it quite claustrophobic. A small thing - but the receptionist on arrival tried to find out if our room was ready as we arrived just before 2pm and she obviously had some beef with the chambermaid as she was raising her eyebrows and pulling faces at us while speaking to her on the phone! A little unprofessional we thought.
