One of several stops on our honeymoon, not the most memorable. Parking was very limited (3 spaces), which meant we were wary of going out in case no room when we returned. No lift to get luggage up to the room, but receptionist offered to help. Room itself was lovely; massive bed, very soft sheets, great view of distant hills... more

I have stayed several times over the pass few years so know a bit of their history! Its been a constant battle with the council over the years with regards to noise pollution unfortunately they have not been very co operative! So ask for the back rooms which are are great. The food has had it moments as every time... more

Loud music blares nightly from the bar across the street which keeps its doors and windows open to attract customers. The front desk staff is vacant and unhelpful and will pretend they're not aware of the problem until they have to move you. Ask for a room in the back of the hotel! more

Great Building but situated right next to a gas station on the main road. We had been looking forward to our stay but were dissappointed by the poor service- carrying own bags to the room & no-one around for breakfast not even to make a coffee until we wnt to front desk. Everyone seemed to have lost interest in the... more

The front and the restaurant seemed understaffed and rushed, thereby removing the expected friendliness of a small boutique hotel. The room I was in, however, was large and had inviting pastel blues and purples on beautiful oak antique furnishings. The bed was a... more

Hotel D'Urville had so many fans on tripadvisor (and in Frommers) that I HAD to stay there. I was disappointed. It was fine, the room was interesting but not worth what was being charged. We paid more for a night there than we did for the Four Seasons in Sydney. There is no porter and no elevator, so make sure... more

I made an online booking request with this hotel last year for a 4 night stay in November but received no booking confirmation back from the hotel. I then emailed the hotel direcly to ask if my booking was confirmed but received no repsonse to this request either. As a result of this I presumed that my booking had not... more

Great little hotel Staff are excellant Bar is cosy Rooms are well appointed Insulation for noise is past critcal....you can hear everything in the adjacent rooms..... over priced due to the strenghting NZ dollar. more

The D'Urville was a fun stop amidst the Marlbourough wineries. The best features were the bar (hip; great bar tender; fun) and the restaurant (good, not great food; helpful, not professional service; beautiful slick design in a rural city). The rooms were ok but a bit disappointing given build-up from previous reviewers. Service was just ok -- surprising lack of... more
