Northern Wairoa Hotel

Ill be honest we stayed in the family room. Staff was nice, own off street parking was great, beds were nice, air-conditioning was bloody awesome because you definitely needed it wifi was good.but thats where it ended. Kitchen had no milk for a while. As soon as you hopped on the bed it was very dusty and needed to be aired out. A used plaster stuck on shower wall ew. Windowsill was rotten and if you wanted to open the windows you had to jam something under it or smell yours and family's poop if you had one. The kitchen was run down paint peeling yuck smells with rotten food in fridge no milk two forks. Tv was meh chanel 1,2,3. 1 place to charge a phone or to use for anything. I would say if you are young and wanting to like go there because of maybe being to drunk to drive home then yes book there since the bar and restaurant is below but for a family its a no for me. Sorry about the comment but for $146 its a bit pricey

The hotel has a creepy atmosphere, very old and definitely not well maintained. Pretty low hygiene standards. There were old blueberries rotting in the sink of my room, dirty and wet towels in the cabinet under the sink, lots of dust in the corner of the room and around the bed, the toilets were disgusting with a terrible smell and the curtains in the shower seemed not to have ever been washed. The hallway is dark with squeaky floors. I would not stay again.

Old hotel that has been adequately updated (shower was spotless) and comfortable bed. Sufficient overnight, but nothing fancy.

If you are looking for modern then go to the Hilton but this hotel is a 19th century building so it’s dated but it’s clean, warm and comfortable and the staff are great. We visited because we are doing a trip of NZ classic pubs. Has sky TV, off road parking, dinner

It was great to stay in a heritage 2 listed building but it comes with the down side of not being well maintained. If you like cheap and cheerful this was a good option.

Property is very outdated. Shared showers are covered in mould drains are blocked. Bed linen was dirty and stained. Absolutely horrendous

Noise, poor bathroom facilities, very, very tired. Not even a fan in extremely hot weather. Kitchen pretty horrid. But generally, clean, and very pleasant staff. Friday and Saturday nights especially noisy

The place is very old and dated and a fresh link of paint wouldn't go a miß. Room was dirty, toilet still was full of poop, dead flies on bathroom floor, top bunk had rubbish and dead bugs and to top it off fleas in the bed. The room had clean towels every day which smelt strongly like cigarette smoke. After 3 days of staying here I'm now covered in flea bites. We won't be back.

The linen and towels were fantastic.
