Portside Hotel Gisborne

Clean comfortable great view

Beautiful apartment on quayside.

No food options. Free drinking water in foyer, not in rooms. Couldn't book in until late afternoon and staff knocking on our door at 11 to clear room. High price for less than a full 24 hours stay!

The beds were extremely comfortable. Our apartment looked out over the car park which didn’t bother us. It meant we didn’t hear any port noise at night. Well equipped kitchen. I enjoyed the lap pool. The location suited us as we had family staying at the campground. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Great area and close to CBD. Amazing to watch ships being loaded with logs and activities on the water.

The bathroom had a terrible smell which we mentioned to reception on our departure. Smelt like sewerage!

Sewerage smell in bathroom particularly from inside the shower probably from the drainage Not good meds to be sirted

just a roof over my head for the night

nothing

The view was exceptional, and the desk provided a perfect space to work on my laptop while enjoying the scenery—it made working feel effortless. The interior layout was well thought out, with all the expected luxuries provided. The staff were friendly, attentive, and extremely helpful with all my requests. Overall, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and well-maintained.

I often worked late into the evening, so having food options available after hours would have been ideal. However, the staff went out of their way to assist me in arranging Uber Eats, which I greatly appreciated.
