- Jake (5/5): -
- Gradwell (7/5): It was ok and serve the purpose for my stay. - Was central The hot water was lukewarm. On Sunday morning facility was to capacity and at breakfast time no seating in the dining hall. Literally had to stand and drink my coffee.

- Carmen (10/5): Excellent value - Great location, big rooms, spotlessly clean.
The staff were so kind, 10/10
- Lev (10/5): An excellent and affordable country motel. - The Matador is very conveniently located in Sale, being just on the periphery of the town CBD. The check-in was quick & friendly. There is quite a lot of on-site (but unallocated) parking. The rooms were clean, well appointed and had an unexpectedly lovely "old world charm". The included breakfast was pleasant bonus.
- Troy (7/5): -
- Scott (8/5): - Great service and excellent firm beds Parking is a premium, more rooms than car spots
- Jane (8/5): A very pleasant stay. - The location, the shower, the breakfast, the efficient staff. I was not keen on Sky news on the TV at breakfast.
Maybe better to have the TV off.
It was a windy night and the external door clunked noisily all night.

- Te Waiora (9/5): Great value for money, friendly staff, hard-working. - the fact there was complementary continental breakfast made this a great place to stay in. While the architecture is old style, the room was comfortable, the staff were very friendly, and overall this was value for money. We had a balcony facing south, so this was cool and suited the summer/autumn sun. The only downfall was cigarette smoke sometimes wafting in to the room from other residents in other rooms from their balcony.

breakfast was good
location was great for our needs n/a
- Patrick (7/5): Happy with everything, breakfast was good - Overall, the facility was as we had expected

No ceiling fan in bathroom. Happy with everything overall.

- Maureen (10/5): - Liked most things. Suggest maybe a rail in the shower to assist older people. I was amazed to see my grandparents chimney still standing ( it brought back many happy memories -reference photo)
- Holger (8/5): -
- Peter (3/5): Not worth the price - Beds comfortable, close to clubs and eateries Found it a bit noisy , old needs renovating , no exhaust fan in bathroom, needs alot of work to get it up to a decent standard
