• Lorraine (7/5): Good location - Good location The mattress was not all that good. A bit lumpy and uncomfortable
• Paul (8/5): This was a great place to stay, and well worth returning to in the future. - I Liked the quiet location and the bed was very comfortable, so although I arrived very tired, I woke refreshed the following morning. The staff were friendly and helpful. They provided a bottle of fresh milk which was appreciated - much better than the small thimble-sized sealed containers of milk that are often supplied in motels. The shower was a goid size and shampoo and body wash were conveniently provided. I liked everything about our one night stay. But I can't comment on extras like ease of using the laundry, for example, because I didn't use any extra services.

• Anna (7/5): Ok for a brief stopover - Its convenience as a stopover A bit dated and tired looking
• Hans-Joachim (9/5): Gutes klassisches Motel für Zwischenübernachtungen - Alexander Motel ist ein klassisches Motel im positiven Sinne für 1 bis 2 Übernachtungen. Es liegt verkehrsgünstig und doch einigermaßen ruhig. Das Kfz parkt man vor dem eigenen Zimmer. Die Unterkunft war für ein Motel sehr gut ausgestattet. Es bot genügend Platz und sowohl das Zimmer als auch Bad waren sehr sauber, das Bett bequem. Das Personal war sichtlich engagiert, sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit mit Auskünften. Nichts

The room was a good size and the bed very comfortable There is no kitchen sink and kitchen dish washing facilities as you have to share them with the bathroom. Having a shave and washing the dishes in the same sink .................?
• Sanja (9/5): -
• Mathieu (8/5): -
• VixRee (8/5): Clean rooms a good size, friendly staff. - Clean rooms and friendly staff. The rooms are a good size and clean. It was a bit of a strange set-up with the bathroom and kitchen sharing a sink, but we managed to make it work. There was an airfryer in the kitchen area (very welcome) and the tea, coffee etc. and towels were restocked daily. Location is quiet but perfectly situated for local walks and only 5 mins from the high street and shops and restaurants. Rooms were checked and restocked daily but they weren't vacuumed, we stayed six nights and beds were not made up, nor was the linen changed.
• Warren (9/5): - A large room with all facilities. Nothing
• Anne (9/5): -
• Neroli (10/5): - Very clean and comfortable, owners were very accommodating
• Daniel (6/5): -
• Patrick & Katie (8/5): Very clean, comfortable and quiet location with everything we needed, with extras on top, thanks. - The room was very clean, bed very comfortable, location off the main road allowing us to have a really good nights rest for the two days we stayed. A nice surprise having an air fryer in the room and a guest laundry room available if needed. We enjoyed our stay and would come back and stay again, thank you. 😊
• Albert (8/5): -
• Wendy (9/5): Lovely motel with great views in historical town - Very clean with good facikities and nice view, staff were friendly and helpful
• Sarah (5/5): I live locally, I stayed for 4 nights to get some study completed (very noisy building, cold room). - Allowed me to check in early. ROOM TEMPERATURE: I got cold (middle of winter) and could not control the wall heater because it was already pre-set. NOISE: No sound insulation, could hear other guests talking through the internal walls; soundwaves from street noise etc echos loudly throughout the building (double-glazed windows would definitely address some of the problem).
• Harry (9/5): Sad day, came to my cousins Noeleen Kino’s tangi - Location was good, walking distance to town was close No complaints
• Inderjit (1/5): Disgusting - Nothing Unhygienic rooms as single wash basin for using bathroom and utensils. Shower water flow is very less. Leaking water in toilet disturbed whole night sleep.bedsheets were not cleaned. The showroom has mould and toilets rim were not cleaned. The staff was racist and gone into arguments and his wife commented us on as “barking dogs and barking Indians” we have booked 6 bedrooms and they have ruined our stay and in the morning both husband and wife were yelling at us. We have kept dishes in the organised way to clean and left over food was in the plates which was covered. The room dustbin was not big enough to hold the rubbish otherwise we could through it in the bin. The man passed comments on my physical appearance for having big body type.
• Samuel (7/5): Quiet and comfortable - Location Shower too small
• Dale (6/5): -
• Sue and Trevor (5/5): It was sufficient for our needs. - Plenty of space, very quiet. No sink nor running water except in bathroom for washing dishes or filling jug. It was cold as heaters had a hidden switch up high we didn’t find til later.
• Sally (5/5): -
• Chynna (9/5): Great stay! - Thanks for the stay! We loved how clean the rooms were & how helpful the staff were. Location was within walking distance of everything so that was a bonus. Appreciated the cleaning crew aswell keeping our rooms fresh daily. Thank you team, we will be back!

• Jacqueline (8/5): Handy to everything - Handy for a stopover on our way home. Warm welcome. Bed and pillows comfy. Lovely and quiet. Good parking spaces. Informative compendium in room. Laundry available. RSA (lovely $15 meal) and town few steps away. Even a double airfryer in the unit. Water pressure not good. Cutlery and crockery should be covered. Window sills need a paint as crazy cracked. Window ledges in bathroom need wiping. No aircon but fan in room.
• Gavin Hooper-Newton (10/5): - Really friendly helpful staff and great location. Considering the price — relatively quiet and comfortable. Perfect overnight stop for the bike ride over the forgotten highway from the mighty Naki.
