Guest Reviews

- Bernard (10/5): - Cosy, clean and well located in New Plymouth Nothing

- Sheena (10/5): Perfectly situated in the centre of New Plymouth. - I loved how clean and tidy the property was and I loved the interesting art and furnishings that were displayed
- GameKage (9/5): Fun place to stay in New Plymouth - My partner loved this hotel. He slept like an absolute log.
The set up is really great. You can tell that the owners put a lot of effort into making it stand out with their unique, fun style. Hard to explain but we had a lot of fun looking at the art on the walls. There is a cozy public living room where you can hang out. All the amenities looked to be really new, there was a great 'things near here' flyer done in the shape of a newspaper and we took a recommendation to visit the local park which was spot on.
Parking was just around the corner. It is first come first serve but we had no trouble getting a spot.
Very close to lots of eateries as well so you have options!
- Huia (10/5): Relaxing, quirky and beautifully appointed for one - Lovely place to lay your head. Travelling for work and nice and central, had dinner downstairs. Highly recommend, easy to find, access and a great night's sleep. Even saw beautiful Mount Taranaki in the morning blanketed in a white korowai.
- Hopkins (10/5): Friendly staff and a great location rooms are cozy -
- Moulos (9/5): - Excellent communication, location A+ nice and clean. Nothing.
- Mohamed (10/5): -
- Marion (9/5): We had a really nice stay - The manager was really welcoming,kind and even gave us an extra treat for my partner's bday. Decoration was original and nice, common areas and room clean. good location in the city. bed mattress and size of the sink in the bathroom. Noise from the street on the first night as our room was on the street side.
- Chynna (9/5): A lovely little oasis in the centre of Taranaki town - Great little boutique room. Very clean. Staff were lovely. Added bonus is the water filter in the hallway that is free to use. Seamless check in

- Andy (9/5): Great boutique hotel. Highly recommended. - Really nice boutique hotel. Uniquely decorated and furnished, spotlessly clean and an ideal location for exploring New Plymouth. Nothing.
- Kate (8/5): -
- Ocean (10/5): Home away from home - There is nothing bad myself or my partner can say about the state hotel, the host AJ is nothing short of polite, friendly and makes checking in a seamless process, I feel so at home whenever I stay here, the location is perfect, right in the city, close to the beach and attractions but also surprisingly quiet for the location, I have stayed here before and the rooms are immaculately clean, tidy and comfortable!
I will always choose to stay at the state hotel when I travel to New Plymouth as I like to see it as my home away from home.
- Uschi (9/5): City Center and free parking - Directly in City Center and including free parking Space. Very friendly owner (provided Lots of suggestions what to do and where to eat in New Plymouth). Since we Travel with 2 large suitcases the Room we have booked was a bit too small.

- Casey (10/5): - I travel often, and this place genuinely surprised me—in the best way. From the effortless check-in to the striking antler chandelier and thoughtful décor, combined with a great location and a well-appointed room, everything was spot on.
- Liam (9/5): Very comfortable and presents like a private club - This hotel is well appointed and the room amenities were top notch. We found the staff friendly and professional from first contact. We were very pleased to stay here and it was comfortable. The free parking was also appreciated. The residents' lounge was a nice and comfy addition. The only criticism we have was the small bathroom had a glass door. Although opaque it did not conceal user and was off putting. this is the only critique we have. The rest of the property was excellent.

The hotel is in the middle of the city which was very convenient- we walked to a different restaurant every night. Nothing
- Nettie (8/5): - Comfortable and clean with easy parking.
- Lise-Ann (10/5): A perfect place to feel at home on the other side of the world - Kate and AJ's hospitality is tiptop - Really cosy and comfortable room and the house keeping was top notch.

- Donna (8/5): -
- Clémence (10/5): Idéal - L’attention du personnel, la déco personnalisée et le plaisir d’un petit hôtel familial et convivial avec tous les équipements et services souhaités. Rien
- Jonathan (9/5): This was a nice change from the standard chain hotels, run by people who really care about service. - The guest lounge is a great area to work in. Our room was spotlessly clean, and the owners and staff are extremely helpful. A short walk from restaurants, bars and other attractions.
- Gfelch (9/5): -
- Sandra (10/5): Great stay, would recommend - Warm welcome from AJ, showed us our room. Nice big size, comfy bed. Cupboard with safe. Tea, coffee facilities. Little mini bar fridge. In the corridor there was a water cooler.
Great shower. The only tiny issue was that there was only one hook for a towel and no towel rail. Another hook would have been perfect. Liked the complimentary body wash, shampoo etc, smelt lovely.
Laundry facilities were available. There was a guest lounge also to use. Car parking a very short distance away.
Loved the position of the hotel, easy to walk to bars and restaurants. Also close to cycle hire, called cycle inn. Great for going along the sea front.
Meet other staff during our stay, all very nice.
All in all we had a great stay. Just the hook issue in the bathroom.
- Judy Ann (8/5): - Location excellent, room very clean, friendly staff, decor lovely. The room faced the Main Street so could hear traffic noise
- Sylke (8/5): -

- Paul (9/5): -
- Irene (10/5): Sympathischer und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber, tolle Unterkunft - Das Hotel ist sehr elegant, originell und geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr gut gelegen. Es gibt im Hotel eine kostenlose Laundry und auch das Parking ist kostenlos. Gefallen hat uns alles. Einzig die Grösse des Bads und vor allem des Waschbeckens hat uns etwas gestört.
- Catharine (9/5): -
- Vanessa (9/5): -
- john (9/5): Good! - Location & parking good Busy street & bar scene
- Jasmin (8/5): -
- QILONG (10/5): -
- Stephens (8/5): -
- Geoff (9/5): - Kate was very helpful and polite. Stairs and off-site parking were the only two things that impacted on our perception of value for money.
Highly recommended.
- Nigel (9/5): Excellent place to stay if exploring New Plymouth city and want everything in walking distance. - The room and location were excellent. AJ, the manager, was really welcoming, friendly and helpful on arrival. The restaurant/bar below is average. OK for dinner, but we found much better breakfast options elsewhere. Emmalou Macaron stood out as the breakfast was delicious.
- Conrad (10/5): Beautiful hotel with superb staff - Everything, beautifully done with taste and style. Nothing, loved the place.
- David (10/5): Very enjoyable stay and would strongly recommend. - We loved the decor and the design concept of this little boutique hotel in a historic building. We enjoyed the eclectic artwork and friendly staff. We especially appreciated the comfortable guest lounge. The room was very clean and comfortable with a relaxing ambience. Great location in the main street in walking distance to everything. The bathroom was very tiny with no room to put your toothbrush and toothpaste etc. There was nowhere to hang your towel. It had a great shower but not much room to get round the door to get into it.
- Kirill (9/5): Nicely located and nicely decorated hotel with friendly staff - We got an upgrade to a king room for a reduced price. Private parking places are available nearby. Even the king room was not as big as we expected, and it only had a shower.
- Jean-baptiste (10/5): - Emplacement
Propreté Rien

- Leonie (9/5): - Handy location, unexpected granny lounge very comfortable. Warm welcome appreciated after a long drive
Very informative host. Nothing,
- Tyler (8/5): -
- Finn (10/5): Short and sweet stay with lovely staff. - The style, the room was cosy and comfortable and the staff were so helpful and friendly. There wasn’t much privacy in the bathroom with it having a frosted glass door. It wasn’t a problem for us but I can see how it could be an issue for others.
- Louise (10/5): Lovely hotel! If in New Plymouth, stay here! - Fantastic hotel, great decor, nice and spacious rooms with amenities like kettle, fridge and microwave.
Short walk to the beach. Lots of nice restaurants in the same complex.
Staff were really friendly. Nothing really - all good.
- Emma (9/5): Great boutique hotel in town centre with restaurant beneath - Central location with close parking. Quirky boutique hotel with thoughtful touches in rooms.
- Nik (10/5): - Decor, staff, location .... fabulous! Nothing
- Antonis (10/5): -
- Marina (8/5): - Struttura curata e elegante nel centro di Plymouth. Stanza un po’ piccola e con un odore forte probabilmente causato dal condizionatore. Purtroppo le finestre davano sugli scarichi del ristorante quindi aprendole sarebbe entrato forte odore di fritto. Bagno mini
- Jean-Luc (10/5): C’est probablement le meilleur deal à New Plymouth - Situation, caractère et confort Comme beaucoup d’autres en NZ, le séjour est hélas assez impersonnel par absence de personnel.
- Ksenia (9/5): -
- Kelly (10/5): -
- Kelly (8/5): Beautiful Hotel, great location fab staff and facilities - Stayed here for a work trip so had one of the smaller rooms, facilities were clean and bed was really comfortable, i adored the decor and feel on the hotel it felt like staying at someone's home. Location was easy walking distance to restaurants and supermarket. I will stay again when i am next here! Room was quite small but fine for a night or two, might be niggly for a couple who want some extra space.
- Kate (10/5): An absolutely beautifully restored property in the heart of New Plymouth. - AJ and his family are incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to make our trip a great one. The rooms are comfortable and it has good amenities — walking distance to some great cafes, restaurants and the beach.
- Sandra (8/5): -
