Seedy rundown third rate place. Carpet wrinkled worn clear through, and rotting below a fire hose outlet. Wall paper in the tatty rooms was peeling off the wall. Shower Formica cracked and broken off. Water faucet leaked and could not be turned off. Furniture dented, chipped, and paint scraped off. The second night we were not given any towels at... More

This hotel is situated in a very beautiful location opposite the scenic botanic gardens. The building is desperately in need of a good revamp and our room was disappointingly scruffy and tired. There was a water leak in the bathroom which we mentioned to reception. The light flickered badly in the bathroom, there was no hair dryer in the room... More

When I arrived I parked the car and met the very pleasant receptionist and a guy pondering over the issue of why the internet was not working. Room on the third floor was very 70s but clean and great for sleeping: the bed was comfortable. TV worked, radio worked and so did the alarm clock. In fact reception gave me... More

While very outdated with no money spent on anything, the rooms are clean and tidy. The bedspreads could do with updating, although, again I say, they were clean. Smells a bit musty due to old carpet. Included breakfast was good. You are getting a very cheap stay here, so can't expect the world for the price. Don't stay here if... More

Despite some very mixed reviews this hotel in my opinion is very good value for money and not at all as bad as some previous reviews. Our room was spacious and clean. The location is excellent with a bus stop right outside. More

Hotel is dated, which gives it a quaint retro feel, but could really use some TLC. I chose SilverOaks due to price, when I got here I was extremely pleased with the location- directly opposite founders entrance of botanical garden which meant a beautiful stroll up to Cable Car then right down in the city for some shopping and sight...

In 14 days of staying in NZ, it is the worst one we have stayed, I have to say two good things about it are free parking and free internet. The room is very outdated. Since we love the botanical garden which just crosses the street of it, it added a little value to the hotel. More

After reading recent reviews of this hotel, I was pleased that it wasn't like the bad reviews that I had read. Yes, it isn't modern, but it is very clean and comfortable and rooms were of a good size. Furnishings, carpets, drapes, bathroom were in the 1970s but it was clean and housekeeping staff was good. Our bedding had no... More
