Guest Reviews
- Prateek (3/5): Need to do better. - I liked they changed the towel and gave new soap on second day. The block of rooms and room inside had dusty smell, looks like it wasn't maintained properly. And the bathrooms were dirty, not cleaned on regular basis, in the morning I had to go use the fuel station toilets. AC inside needs maintenance.
- Marcus Vinicius (1/5): -
- Md Shaharier (5/5): -
- Tank (1/5): - Nothing I told then that i will checkout at 8 in the morning and they said yes but they made me wait 1 hr outside till 9 as there were no one until 9.

- Kylie (5/5): -
- Tane (6/5): OK for the prcie and a ond night bed only, Hotel attached was good - Friendly Staff, Shortys Hotel (next door part of complex) was great, food was great and beer cheap and good. Nice venue. Romm was reasonably clean, Ok for a one night stay Very run down, and "messy " external appearance, inside clean and functional, but older. Basically, just a room, room was clean and bed comfortable and linen all OK. Got a little noisy with other guests using kitchen and shared bathrooms at all hours and also in and out for cigarette breaks.

The food was good
The bed was comfortable The bathroom facilities were a bit old, but still fine.
- Paul (6/5): Basic, but clean and cheap, with good meals on offer in the bistro - Suited our needs for a clean, low-cost room for one night. The room was basic but clean, and the bed was comfortable. There were tea/coffee making facilities in the room, and the pub served good meals I'm not a fan of shared bathrooms, but we knew what we were booking, so this isn't a complaint. There was plenty of hot water in the shower. The shared kitchen facilities were dated and not very appealing, but as we were only staying one night it wasn't an issue for us.
- Paul (7/5): Pleasant, comfortable stay. - The AC was good and the room clean overall but very dated. Being colocated with a pub meant easy access to an end of the drive beer and a nice meal.
So all good. Room fairly tired and dated. TV was old and small but worked OK.
- Frank (7/5): -
- AllanS66 (3/5): -
- Anna-Mart (1/5): -
- Tony (5/5): Comfortable, clean and priced well - Hotel meals were good and well priced.The accomodation whilst old was clean.
- David (8/5): good value - A great pub, accommodation was a handy location, and the room was good with a comfy bed, aircon was nice.
- Melissa (7/5): It was ok - Cheap and quite TV didn’t work, toilet in room wasn’t clean properly (urine down front of bowl), air con had mind of its own,
- Bourke (10/5): -
- Garry (7/5): -
- Sugirth (8/5): Convenient location, authentic Jaffna food, relaxing atmosphere. - Close to station, market and city center.
The food was brilliant. Absolutely delicious and worth it. The authentic Jaffna palette was justified. Hats off to the kitchen staff. The buffet sped was fantastic.
The staff in general were very polite and helpful. The pool had lots of broken tiles. When our family used it, the children got multiple cuts and bruises from the broken tiles. Not suitable for small children.
We were overcharged by USD 100/- for the accommodation due to clerical error. However, because we checked our bills, we informed them and they rectified the matter.
- Coppel (4/5): Very basic. - The room was extremely small and plain. The bathroom was shared with ALL the other rooms and a fair way from ours. Rooms and bathroom. Car park was also very rough.
- Tomas (8/5): -
- Kevin (10/5): Enjoyable - Location perfect Slamming doors by others
- dianne (6/5): was ok for the price and room was comfy enoough. - room comfortable even though a little tight, bed was good, and bathroom wasn't aware it was a share and need some renovation. Hot water was ok but not hot enough. Kitchen had leaking tap and very old and not really clean. kitchen and bathroom facilities. Didn't like having to pay for key deposit. Was the only place in our 12day holiday that we had to do that.
- Bayaraa (1/5): -
- Mecky (4/5): - none there is a big difference between the picture and the room. The room looks very old
- dianne (6/5): Economical. Friendly staff in hotel - Price was great and bed was good wifi and tv Ad didn't say at back of hotel and thus very busy trying to get a park near our room. Wasn't clear that bathroom was communal. Kitchen area even though older could have been cleaner and kept better.Hot water taps leaking. Only place we had to pay a deposit for the key in all our 12 days of travel and bookings. This delayed our departure time. Room itself was clean. Whole place needs a womans touch!!
- Beryl (8/5): -
- Nikky (2/5): Stuff was unhelpful. Still yet to refund me deposit. Room as horrible smelt like spu tv didn’t work they had to get me a - Leaving it Nothing still waiting on refund of deposit
- Melody (5/5): - Having an ensuite bathroom. Dim lighting in main room, unable to change channels on TV (yes, I did try all sorts of things to get it to work), and no tea towel to dry cups.
- Amy (5/5): Value for money - Value for money The stove is an antique
- Nicole (1/5): Smells gross, wouldn’t stay here if you paid me - This was far from a nice clean motel, yes it says budget accommodation but this was beyond staying somewhere on a budget. The staff who we spoke to were lovely, that’s the only good thing about this motel We found a syringe in the bathroom vents, the whole place smelt like what you could imagine. We were out of there within 10 minutes.
- Pogai Sanayeh (6/5): Affordable Short Stay - Although the hotel appears to be on the older side, our room was clean, and it was mostly used for us to just sleep at night as we had attended to our family holiday venue nearby most of the time we were there.
Our room had aircon and the simple necessities needed for your short stay and very affordable. Our toilet seemed to leak a bit.
- Marcin (6/5): - Bardzo przyjemny personel, recepcja jest w restauracji-barze
Fajny klimat w barze, super wystrój
W pokoju bardzo czysto, świeże pościele, ręczniki, szampon, czajnik, kawa, herbata Wystrój bardzo przestarzały- motel przy drodze
Troszeczkę nie rozumiem depozytu… bo ciężko tutaj coś zniszczyć
- annmaree (6/5): -
- Adam (1/5): Disappointed and disgraceful, I’m telling everyone I know to avoid the place like the plague - I got eaten alive by bed bugs and I’m still trying to recover from the itching, absolutely disgusting 🤢 should be closed down until you freshen up the place, the toilet paper ran out in both toilets and never got replaced , the shared kitchen was so filthy and the microwave was so dirty and disgusting, the room stank so bad and the aircon was growing furry mould , I had to a night earlier as I couldn’t take it anymore Everything was filthy and honestly it should be shut down absolutely horrendous
- Mehdi (6/5): okay - staff, ease of check-in, restaurant, room size, amenities cleanliness
- Kelly (3/5): Good job the bed was comfy . Overpriced room . - The staff are wonderful . Friendly and very helpful The smell in the room I was staying in was disgusting . Smelt like cigs. I had to air the rooms na leave for 3 hours to try and get rid of the smell.
There was not even a bottle of water in the fridge just a very small carton of milk . The fridge was rusty on the inside.
The heating didn’t work only the cooling
- Steven (10/5): -
- Martin (5/5): -
- HarrisonOfAotearoa (3/5): Fine, but virtually no sleep from bad neighbours - Location was convenient for us and check-in was generously smooth. Price was very reasonable for what was offered. A couple was arguing at a notoriously loud volume all night from midnight until leaving at 8am. We were unable to sleep for the majority of the night, and it seems management were not present on site to rectify the situation. Our Sundays were awful as a result from having had virtually no sleep at all. The bed was also not comfortable at all, meaning that any sleep that was had wasn't particularly good.
- Graham (4/5): Stay suited my purposes- Budget accommodation facilities for budget price - Happy with that. - Location was good for my purposes.
Food and drink readily available at the adjoining pub
Parking good
Access good
Free Wifi Old pub accommodation with shared shower and toilet - toilet and shower clean but run down
Everything was a little run down - wash basin useable but cracked - hanging double adapter for fridge and AC
Only get ABC , SBS and 9 on TV - No 7 or 10
- Georgia (10/5): -
- Zoey (8/5): - Cheap pub accommodation. Older facilities but everything worked and was clean. Check in staff was helpful and friendly.
- Emma (8/5): Good, clean, value for money - Good pressure (hot) shower, servo right across the road and good facilities on site. Nil
- Samantha (9/5): - Pub feed and staff were incredible. I got in late and exhausted and they were so helpful. Room was good for the price, was quiet considering there was a pub next door, check in and out process was quick and smooth. Could have used a power board or the likes so multiple things could have been charged or used at once.
- Andrea (8/5): - camera confortevole in una zona molto tranquilla e letto comodo. Parcheggio molto comodo la zona cucina (in comune) non era pulitissima e poco fornita unica nota positiva la presenza di un microonde e qualche posata per mangiare
- Juan Sebastian (9/5): -
- Kenneth (8/5): - Yes ; have been here nearly 3 months !
Booked & PREPAID 02/11 to 30/11.
Hopefully, will book well into the new year, if it is possible.
- Parnell (5/5): Accommodation was adequate but very basic - Comfortable bed Lack of amenities in kitchen. No fridge and not enough cutlery or crockery
- Kat (1/5): Wouldn't recommend - I liked that it was across the road from a 7/eleven. The bathroom light didn't work, the room stank like sewerage, the bathroom looked dirty with soap scum down the tiles in shower - we didn't have a shower there because it was so dirty looking, there were cockroaches, the bed had springs sticking in to us while trying to sleep, the toilet paper wasn't a fresh roll.
- leroy (10/5): - All good thankyou.
- Zehua (8/5): - convenient to petrol stations, bottleshops, and club, massive parking spaces room is a little small, no desks
- DAVID (10/5): - Everything worked - good value!
- Shearer (7/5): -
- Kenneth (8/5): - Room has good air con & ALWAYS cleaned by the reliable staff on a regular basis.
- VINCENT (10/5): Cheap clean accommodation - I have stayed here several times, very reasonable tariff,
Great hotel friendly staff
I recommend
- Helen (8/5): - Shorty Hotel is a friendly place, accommodation is clean and adequate. It was a little hard getting to rooms as we had to negotiate stairs. Both of us have disabilities I could not recommend this hotel for people who have mobility challenges.
- Roy (9/5): -
- Suzana (10/5): -
- Kenneth (8/5): - Ongoing stay ; safety paramount.....
- Kenneth (8/5): - Stay here is "ongoing".A young girl gave me mail delivery on monday, so important & thank you so much.
Still getting over, being SMASHED in the face in Islington not long ago.... Maitland Road-totally UNPROVOKED, with a KNUCKLE breaker.
- William (8/5): -
- Nathanael (9/5): -
- Joanne (3/5): - Very basic very old. Cleanish but room stinky. Air conditioning didn't work, fridge didn't work. Not great 😕
- Cate (6/5): -
- Jonathon (3/5): Won't stay again. -
- Hocking (7/5): -
- Kenneth (8/5): - Thankfully, the bed comfort makes a HUGE impact on issues with shoulders & neck areas.
Food options are good in the region.
- Maria Natividad (7/5): -
- William (8/5): - We had a room with a toilet and a shower which was really good.
Upstairs shared kitchen facilities were a bit ordinary and poorly provisioned with kitchen utensils and some items were not clean.
It wasn't a big problem as we had dinner at the pub but we were a bit put off to do breakfast in that kitchen area.
We were mainly attracted to the room value at reasonable cost.
Overall a good stay. As above.
- Kenneth (8/5): - Food options are good & bed is comfortable.
The accomm here, is way cleaner than MANY others in Hamilton, Islington, Mayfield & Newcastle Beach.Also much SAFER.....
Was recently hit by a cowards punch, in a bus shelter, waiting for a bus in Islington.
- Kerry (4/5): Reasonable for the price but they need to invest in some mattress toppers as the beds are horrible - Good central position and the staff were friendly. The room was very clean The bed was uncomfortable
- Srirenganathan (8/5): Very good -
- Dippel (7/5): -
- Francesca (6/5): - The room had a very strong bleach smell and the smell in the hall way wasn’t very pleasant. The room was ok and bathroom was clean
- Lio (10/5): Exceptional -
- Heather (7/5): Clean budget accommodation - Its clean, budget pub accommodation.
Seperate building to pub so wasn't noisy.
The hot water and shower pressure.
Room amenities for the price. Room furnishings and fixtures, ie table lamp,, washbasin, tv could use a refresh, repaint, etc
- Adonis (5/5): Passable -
- Angela (6/5): Basic, wouldn’t expect anything more for the price. - Air con in room. Clean bathroom The first room they gave me had a discussing strong smell of urine, almost made me vomit. I was given a new room once I told staff.
