Last time I stayed at this Hotel was 30 years ago. Was perfectly adequate for a comfortable nights stay. Central Oamaru, so good location with plenty of free parking at the rear of the Hotel. Happy with my stay overall.

Amazing lovely old building! Nice rooms, bit of street noise early morning but hey the windows are thin and not double glazed. Nice bar, wanted to check out the other bar out the back too but it closed early.

10/10

An historic hotel, well maintained with spacious rooms. The location is excellent on the Main Street (which is very quiet at night) and within walking distance of all the main attractions (galleries, steampunk, cafes etc). Breakfast was very good and the staff both friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Old world charm. Booked a suite. Highly Recommended for extra space. And they gave me the room with a view to the sea. Fabulous hospitality in the restaurant.. great plus. Overall better than expected. And the town is a plus re old world buildings.

8/10

Even though this is a bit of a tired hotel, the staff was great, we rested well, the parking is convenient, the towels were absorbent, and we had plenty of hot water in the shower. An economical option in Oamaru if you want to be close to the historic downtown.

Was a nice room, logistics around the hotel were awkward with use of a lift but managing two flights of stairs with suitcases to get to the room was not ideal
