Our stay was perfect ,the room clean and the bed comfortable, the dining room offered a first class menu, the actual meal itself was equal to the best meal I have ever eaten.
Fully recommend this place to stay
Ariki Backpacker is in a great location, close to the museum, the coastal walkway, and a large market within walking distance.
The staff were very friendly, and it was nice to be able to do laundry at a low price and rent a bike at a very good price.
It was a guesthouse with great facilities overall, such as a small movie theater-like room, a restaurant, and a bathroom.
The cleanliness was also good.. I will definitely use it again next time.
I highly recommend this accommodation..
I booked a Double or Twin Room in The Metrotel for 3 people staying two nights in New Plymouth. First, the room is spacious enough that we could have our own space during the stay and everything is neat and tidy. There is a in-room mini kitchen and guest laundry outside while it is very important to us. Highly recommended this to you.
Excellent building setup. We took more than 10 minutes to cover all the areas namely reception, restaurant, garden & relaxation and easy section.
The front desk staff were friendly and helpful.
The only minus was going to our room on the first floor using the stairs only. The front desk was however willing to call for help. Thanks.
Stay in the middle of Auckland from Wellington for one night. The surrounding area is especially quiet, but actually driving to the town is a few minutes~ The room and the view are so beautiful! But the day we went, it was raining, I couldnโt go down to the river to run~ If it didnโt rain, itโs definitely invincible to watch the stars at night~ Upstairs bedroom with large floor to ceiling windows, direct view of the outside ~ The boss is very enthusiastic. After we stayed for a while, we also called to ask if everything is fine~
The hotel is good and convenient. The following coffee restaurant is convenient for breakfast. The price is right. The taste is not bad. Everything is suitable. It is also good to go out shopping.

GGuest UserMediocre.
There were some significant issues during our stay. That being said, the service was friendly and they tried to help where there was an issue. Unfortunately, there were a few though.
To start with, they gave us the wrong room, not that which we had booked (a double instead of a twin). They quickly accomodated this however and moved us. Over the first night, we noticed it had been particularly hot. Despite there being AC in the room and having it on the lowest settings, it did not cool the room. We did inform them of this and they offered to move rooms or give us a fan, this was helpful but dissapointing that it had not been checked earlier. We were also dissapointed that there were no towels provided, despite face cloths being so. The car park was non-existent, being a junk yard instead. There was street parking available but felt less secure. The location was resonable with easy access to takeaways and the supermarket. There were some troubles over the nights including loud, persistent banging on the doors which the owners seemed to do nothing about. Possibly patrons of the attached bar. We did not use the bar or restuarant facilities so cannot comment there. On the bright side, the shower was excellent! Great pressure and temperature, lovely after a long day out.
GGuest UserSignage made property easy to find. Property immaculately presented inside and out. Checkin very easy, well dressed host pleasure to deal with. Room was spotless and provided everything travellers would require. VERY tiny,teeny weeny thing- no instructions on how to use the TV! If you dont have Sky at home, and given 2 remotes , very confusing. I strongly believe that host would have solved this issue if I had asked and if I hadnt been so tired, I would have asked him. But this in NO way would stop me returning or recommending this motel to fellow travellers. 5 out of 5 rating.
GGuest UserThe main reception was very lovely and kind and helpful assistance. The room was clean and spacious with working facilities. It was quite close to everything we needed but would have been nice to have things onsite like a larger gym and a laundromat.
GGuest UserGood price for 5 nights. As I mentioned at reception the room service staff replaced towels that were hung up and which I was happy to use again (contrary to what it said on the card in the bathroom and is now standard practice in most hotels). That was an extra 4 towels to the laundry over 5 days for one room - this all adds up - I am just thinking of the planet and also the autolodge laundry bills!

JJack85Carpark spaces also limited, but manage to get parking slot most of the time. Very near to the coast and on higher floors, definitely can see the sea view also. Itโs nearby to many dining options from cafe to restaurants and also a mini supermarket. All of these shops and restaurants within walking distance.
