Guest Reviews
- Brad (10/5): Awesome - Close to work, clean and comfortable Nothing

- RICHARD (7/5): - Found bed extremely soft..
No shampoo in room.
- Nancy (7/5): -
- Malissa (7/5): Close to everything , clean - Location Nothing
- Sylvie (10/5): très contente de mon (court) séjour à Moruya - Réception extraordinaire : je suis arrivée à vélo et j'avais fait une chute dans mon périple. La personne de l'accueil a été très sympathique et m'a aidé à trouver un réparateur pour mon vélo dans le coin. J'ai donc pu repartir le lendemain sans problème mécanique. Tout était top : la salle de bain irréprochable (sauf que je m'attendais à trouver du shampoing, et il n'y en avait pas), frigo et micro-onde bien utiles pour un petit déjeuner aux aurores.
- Edwin (9/5): -
- Belinda (8/5): Great location and very clean and comfortable - Very clean
Newly renovated bathroom
Ceiling fans for airflow

- Wayne Kosten (10/5): -

- Gerry (8/5): -
- Isabella (8/5): -
- Kingsley (8/5): Great place - Great rooms , great bathroom Cockies screeching
- Sowelu (9/5): - Friendly service and welcome
- Van Der Laan (6/5): - The location is central to the shopping and amenities of Moruya. The check in staff member was excellent and friendly. The "Room" was clean and adequate. TBH I was surprised at the style of accommodation even tho it was for a single bed and considered budget, I didn't expect a mining camp style portable accommodation. It reminded me of FIFO accommodation. It had all the necessary basics, however the vanity was a small round stainless bowl smaller than a dinner plate, useless for trying to wash dishes.

- Rob (8/5): Comfortable place to stay in Moruya - Clean, modern, spacious room with good facilities. The location was convenient as I was passing through Moruya on my way to Sydney. There's plenty of local amenities nearby. N/A
- Elle (9/5): - Very clean great bathroom and excellent value for money. The owner let us put our bikes in the room instead of locking them on the car which was very kind.
- Barry (9/5): -
- Michael (9/5): Would stay there again without any hesitation thank you. - Good clean presentation of room & motel in general. Very helpful staff on hand on arrival. Bed was a bit to soft for my back, my suit others though.
- Patricia (5/5): - I didnt meet a human at the property
- Ibrahim (8/5): Easy, clean and peaceful. - Clean and easy to get to. Quiet.
- George (8/5): Except to the beds, the rest was what a person would expect/ - The Hive Hotel is a former motel that has been seriously upgraded. Close to downtown but far enough away to be quiet. Beds were far too soft. Both my wife and I were continually rolling to the centre resulting in a poor nights sleep.
- Suzi (9/5): Great place for a sol traveler to stay this is my second time and I’ll definitely go back and the price is excellent no - Great location Nothing
- Karen (9/5): - Great location, IGA behind motel and walking distance to Moruya river and main streey.
Well equipped room. Microwave, plates & cutlery and mini bar that was reasonably priced.
Well priced and excellent value for money. Liked everyrhing
- Julie (9/5): - It was conveniently located for us, clean with amply parking. The staff were very attentive and helpful
- Bailey (7/5): It was Ok, - Can't rate the staff, as the whole transaction was on line - No human interaction.
Key dispenser works well due to my late arrival. The bed has been well used and suffering from subsidence on the side I chose to sleep on. To gain a level of privacy I had to close the block out curtain blocking all natural light,
- Catherine (1/5): Hive Hotel – where mountainbikers get stung - Location was great, set between 2 major biking facilities. Despite being located between two major mountain bike destinations, Hive Hotel is clearly not bike-friendly. At no point during the booking process was it communicated that bikes weren’t allowed in rooms or that extra fees applied. There was no signage on the door stating no bikes in rooms. No mention of it in the check in text. When I questioned the charge I was told it was emailed after booking. This policy was buried in one of the 3 plus emails I received post booking that are and was easily missed. Staff watched us bring our bikes inside, spoke with us, and never mentioned storage options or potential charges. A simple conversation could have allowed us to store our bikes in the ‘available storage’ and avoid fees. If this was truely about protecting rooms, we should have been spoken with, not watched as we unloaded our bikes into our rooms.
Within 10 minutes of checkout (well before 8am), our card was charged a so-called “cleaning fee”. Had we known there was bike storage or that keeping bikes in the room would result in charges, we obviously wouldn’t have done so. We have travelled with our bikes for years and never encountered this problem.
The hotel then claimed the bikes damaged the walls, despite there already being 2 big visible pre-existing holes and several marks in the room when we checked in. Anyone who rides knows how careful cyclists are with their bikes not to scratch them. We are still waiting on photos of the alleged damage. However digging out ‘this email’ it states ‘storing bikes in rooms will incur a cleaning fee’. So the damage will be irrelevant.
Add to that a glitchy self check-in machine that is to be used even though the office is open. A dirty pool that the local ducks hang and shit in (looks ok until you dive under with goggles, then you can see how bad it is, the dark colour tiles hides it well, but if your up early like we were you can see the ducks make a real home of it).
- Alana (10/5): - Convenient location, very friendly staff, good value for money
- Mark (7/5): -
- Purnima (8/5): -
- Seyed Sadegh (8/5): -
- Stephen (9/5): Road trip - unexpected late check in needed - Great communication and easy late check in
- Lalit (9/5): -
- Eberhard (5/5): -
- Mark (8/5): -
- Lee (10/5): Very good - Location No
- Amice (9/5): Excellent. - We liked how easy the check-in process was with clear instructions. Also, facility was renovated with thoughtful mini bar provided for purchase. Pricing was value for money. The two bedrooms wasn’t really two bedrooms as advertised, it wasn’t a problem for us but need to watch out if your group needs seperate bedrooms for privacy.
- Dee (8/5): -
- bryan (9/5): Great place to stay 9/10 - Great location .. easy electronic check in system.
Wonderful staff .so helpful and friendly
My room was a good size, clean and inviting
Well done Noyhing to dislike. Good value for money
- Ashok (8/5): - Big clean room, comfy bed , kitchenette was handy . Smell from the bathroom
- Blake (10/5): Exactly what I wanted and where I wanted it - So close to the town centre but yet so affordable. I've stayed here twice now and it's my go-to accommodation in Moruya when I'm staying there overnight. I definitely feel safer there than at other accommodation options I've tried before in Moruya.
- David (10/5): Value for money, clean, tidy and renovated. - The motel is clean tidy and has everything you need for a short stay. You are in walking distance of the town and all it offers. 2 min walk to IGA and bakery. 5-10 minute walk everything else. The bedrooms have been renovated and the bathrooms are excellent. No complaints my wife and I have stayed there twice now. Nothing really it was all good.
- Jenny (8/5): -
- Gary (10/5): Recommend, great staff and our room was more than adequate - Staff excellent and welcoming. Check in easy, room looked to be freshly updated. Tea/coffee facilities good. Close to town so we could walk if needed. Not a complaint, however, when motelmis full car park is not the best. Maybe Mark and number spots so everyone has a park.
- Leila (5/5): Convenient and priced accordingly - It was very close to the showground it was very quiet without much foot traffic The room was a super small donga-style accommodation. The toilet ran the whole time
- David (10/5): -
- Diane (7/5): -
- Jamie (8/5): -
- Jack (1/5): Public toilet - I’ve stayed in $20 per night backpacker hostels that are 10 times better than the “single rooms” offered at hive. To start off with all the single rooms are hidden behind the nice-ish looking presumably non-single rooms. Once I found where I was staying I thought surely I had the wrong room because my &100 per night “room” was actually a construction site smoko shed…….. but worse. I managed to pry the door open by ramming my shoulder into it and was greeted by the foul stench of public toilet. The prison style toilet and basin is right next to the bed.
- David (7/5): -
- Richard (8/5): I was surprised to find ample parking because I have a small truck most don't have the space. - Located 5 min walk to local stores perfect for stocking up on things I needed 👌. For the price of the stay here there was nothing that I could complain about. Will definitely be staying again..
- Bruce (8/5): -
- Anthony (8/5): Emily was very happy and Acco it -
- Rich (8/5): Clean and good value forum money. Just minor inconveniences as mentioned above. - Room we had looked fresh, recently renovated. It was clean. Walls are a bit thin, pool was occupied buy ducks and their poop. Fridge and pantry had snacks in it but they charge even for water bottles.
- M (9/5): - Very simple but includes everything you need for a little stopover. Was amazed to see thoughtful inclusions like a specific makeup towel. There was a lot of black dirt on the bedside table, not sure if it was maybe from the ceiling or ants, but it was no big deal :)
