Hotels With Wi-Fi in Gisborne, New Zealand

When i first entered the lobby, I thought ”OMG what is this place ?” It seemed like a hotel version of the Bates motel. The owner who is less than fluent in English seemed incredibly enthusiastic to please but his ideas about running a ”hotel” need some mentoring.. The hotel is past its best and is probably more suited to be classed as hostel style accommodation. Certainly not in the $100 a night (solo) that is was listed. $70 would be tops. I arrived wet from a motorbike ride so having a clean bathroom, a hot shower and a/c in the room that I could use to get warm was great. The room was clean, the bed comfy but as other reviewers have said, it needs crisp white sheets.. It is a big, largely empty building and doesn't seem very inviting and has that smell of a million fat fried meals having been cooked there. In summary, it was convenient for me to use but nothing like the picture i had of the place after going to the au.trip.com/hotels to book.

The hotel’s location is perfect, right in the town centre. It has a private parking building of several levels attached to the hotel. You can access the hotel right from parking lot with your room key. The hotel’s signs can be a little confusing though, so be aware. The room was fine. It was spacious and reasonably clean. The furniture looked quite old though and needed updating. There were only 3 clothes hangers, which was not convenient. But if you are looking for a great location, this is it.

Quite clean! Nice host!

Found this place while looking outside of Gisborne, Looks amazing and shown our room after booking in. Your key is your power so just slot it in just inside the door and you have power, Our room was large and had a spa bath. Outside looked onto our deck with a table and chairs, to a paddock where wildlife was plentiful. There was milk but it was them small cartons that nobody likes so we took a walk across the road to a dairy and got ourselves some real milk. Also stocked up on a few things. Oh and one more thing the heater in the room was very small on the wall and cut out regular. It's close to the sea although you can't see it from the hotel, A short walk. I've left a few photos for you to look at, Bad points for us was finding a great place thinking it was going to be quiet we were overwhelmed with the amount of road noise all night long, Trucks especially very loud. It's a place we will defo want to come back to though due to its location but will bring ear plugs. Spa great shower was good but tended to fill the whole room up may have had a small blockage? Tea and coffee also our favourite Cookies.

The overall feeling is average

Very spacious for family with 3 kids, super clean and close to the beach (roughly about 5 mins walk). The carpark is just in front of our room and easy to load the luggage as well. I highly recommend this to people with kids, very family friendly. We really enjoyed our stay there, thank you!

The Senator is in a great central location – if visiting you can walk to all the restaurants and to town. The owners were friendly and helpful, and it was so so clean. We loved it. The rooms upstairs are the best – great balconies with good views. Large room, good comfortable beds and great rooms. We had a look at these and would recommend them. Sadly, they have stairs to get to them and showers over the baths which I can’t do so I had the adapted room downstairs. A queen bed but still a large room and the shower and bathroom was one of he best set up ones I have seen – the shower rail actually came down low enough for the person seated to use and a separate holder for the shower so it could be low enough – amazing how many places don’t do this – it was excellent. And the water stayed in the shower area, so the floor was not slippery – another issue others don’t think about. Everything was so clean – the shower curtain was spotless and wide enough to stay away from the person in the shower but keep the rest of the large bathroom dry. Small things that matter if you are unsteady on your feet. Well done, Senator. Cleaning was offered every day and friendly – although we didn’t use it some days as lazy days still in the room – but even if we didn’t want a full clean, they would offer to replenish our tea bags etc and changed towels etc if we wanted. Cleaning obviously a strength in this motel. Location was great – for new year’s eve we could sit in our room and watch the fireworks. There was a small outside patio – but as this was virtually on the street, we didn’t tend to use it much – but sat inside with our doors open watching the world go by. The street was mostly quiet so usually not an issue with noise. I was worried about having a room at street level like this, but it felt safe and was good to see what was happening. Just a couple of nights were noisy with a few people– but that was not for long. Café next door and Restaurants are so close – walkable for me on crutches and when I took the wheelchair. Means we could all enjoy a drink when we went out. There is a washing machine and dryer for use and the air conditioning was very effective. Only negative is the shower water pressure was a little weak. I would recommend the motel – especially of you get the upstairs rooms.

Free parking, parking at the entrance of the accommodation, very convenient. The kitchenware is very complete, except that there is no chopsticks. Because of the built-in kitchen, it is very convenient to get some children's favorite food in the morning. The room has 1 single bed and 2 double beds. The scenery is amazing, the children's playground, and the swimming pool children love to play.
