The room itself was very nice with a lot of space and everything was new and clean. Bathroom was spacious and had a great shower. The beds were very comfortable and it was quiet and easy to enjoy a good nights sleep. We went upstairs to the lounge to grab a drink and I imagine that during the day it's a beautiful view as you are surrounded with windows. At night there is not much that you could see, but the lounge was nice and the drink was mixed well. It is a pretty pricey stay, but you don't get many amenities. Wifi was additional and had to be renewed which was annoying and expensive. The other thing, is the front desk staff wasn't super friendly to us any of the days we were there. Overall it's a visually impressive hotel and though pricey, a pretty comfortable stay.

The staff was very pleasant at check in and gave some good tips about things to do in the area. The room was very nice and modern. I was impressed with by the granite countertop in the kitchen area and the full size refrigerator. The hotel also had a parking garage, though I did find it difficult to maneuver in. Overall we had a good stay here and I would stay here again.

My best and by far favorite hotel stay whilst in the North Island…read more This place is lovely with its apartment style hotel rooms. It's complete with a living room area, mounted tv, a table set for four. There's a fully stocked kitchen, huge fridge and all the essentials including a kettle, toaster, oven, dishwasher, microwave, knife set, with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate for your consumption. The living room, lounge area is wide open with a 5 seat sofa. The bedroom is comfortable with four fluffy pillows. The bathroom is huge, glass counter top with a sunk in sink; both a tub and shower combo. Just has odd set up with no sliding bathroom door, just a swinging window door. It's an awkward shower placement, that weird swinging door isn't wide enough to keep water from getting out of the bath, so be weary of where you place that bathmat. In the bathroom is also a handy two in one washer dryer. All in all, it was a great stay. The parking situation can be prepaid with the hotel, and it is joined to a parking garage, you'd just have to go through the parking garage elevator to get to the right level then take your hotel elevator up to your room. And our window opened up to a gorgeous view...of the parking garage. That's what I loved waking up to. I only kid, everything else about this place was going for it. Walking distance to Cuba Street, it's very centralized and easy to get to and find.

Not only did he take the time to connect with us, but also genuinely showed the passion he had for the Thistle Inn. The head chef's menu was outstanding, letting us try dishes that we might never have had ordered before. That SHORT RIB! Buttery, melt-in-your-mouth, blow-your-mind bite of the main dish was out of this world. Tom explained the local sourcing of the ingredients and the wines, which was great to hear. Loved learning about the history of the Thistle Inn over a fantastic meal.

If I had one quibble it's that the lights in the bathroom are on a timer and go out after a few minutes - usually just as you're trying to get the soap out of your eyes. The bar on the ground floor is great and they do backpacker specials like a BBQ once a week which are great value. Failing that, there's a cracking Chinese a few doors up ;)

Its only a 5 minute walk to the water front where there are a ton of shops, restaurants and running trails. Walking into the hotel is like, well... the name... a museum. Incredible artwork grace the exterior walls of the building as well as every inch of the lobby. My room was comfy and decorated with more art pieces and floor to ceiling mirrors on most of the walls. Only complaint is the shower head had very little water pressure making showering a little difficult. I highly recommend the hotel for the experience and location.

It was a decent pit-stop, not the most glamorous experience, but a nice reliable accommodation- The room was clean, with a fantastic view of the city, offering coffee/tea selections, bottled water, fresh milk, comfy bed, pillows, and soft towels- very nice quality stay. Hot water & great water flow. The breakfast bar was fantastic ($28pp for a full breakfast) offering a selection of fresh fruits, charcuterie, variety of cereals, variety of hot options (eggs, bacon, sausage, baked beans, mushrooms, hashbrowns), variety of breads (toaster available), sweet pastries, juice bar, diy coffee nook, and a made-to-order eggs & pancake station. Everything at breakfast was quite delicious- I made myself two large pla tes to try a bit of everything (minus the made-to-order station). If looking for a spot, easy to walk downtown, affordable, and reliable, I do recommend.

Is that an extravagant expense? It's just not worth the money. Go somewhere else. Parking was full so we had to park on the street and get up early to put money in the meter. The staff that helped us upon arrival were just fine. But they cannot enhance my rating because this hotel room was shabby and subpar. We thought Accor was a solid company but their low end hotels are just that, low end and priced too high for what you get.
