This place has terrific service - front desk, breakfast, dinner, rooms, business centre assistance, and even free wifi (I forgot my ipad so had to use the business centre). We stayed the first week of 2012 and even though most places were in holiday mode this place was not. Our room although a little tired was clean and comfortable. The... More

I stayed here a few nights ago, Wow, I have not had such a wonderful experience, the rooms were spotless, the housekeepers at the motel were so friendly and helpful, the food from the restaurant was divine. this establishment should be 5 star! Night Porter is cute! More

I recently purchased two nights accommodation for the Coachman on Grab one. Was a bit worried when i read some of the reviews but turned out we had a very pleasent stay. The only fault with the room was that there is not enough lighting so the room was quite dark. Other than that couldn't fault it. Staff were also... More

The food is good, the bar has a fair range, the staff are pleasant, the rooms are a reasonable size. The soap smells fab and the wallpaper joints are absolutely perfect!! And the concept of free WiFi is so staggeringly rare in New Zealand that finding it is unexpectedly delightful. More

we'd booked the motel but on checking in were upgraded to the hotel. We were here for just one night on the way up to Rotorua and this was convenient, comfortable and reasonably-priced. I'm not sure there's anything to see in Palmerston North More

Booked two Deluxe rooms, which when we checked in I would have to say didnt quite meet my expectations of 'deluxe', my room was spacious but like other guests have commented on is... More

Very friendly staff and a has a look of old mansion. The lift jerks to a halt and can be scary. The rooms are clean but has a shape that might not be very inviting for all. The bed and the bath is clean but with no frills. The coffee is freshly ground is is very aromatic. The resturant provides... More

This was our first stay at this hotel and was a little disappointing for the price of the rooms. First impressions - The staff were generally welcoming and helpful - The Deluxe rooms are surprisingly small, quite dark, there is no view (but then there is no view in Palmerston North city anyway so no biggie) the decor was pleasant...

I have stayed at this hotel twice for business. The first time I stayed in the one of the rooms in the hotel and the second time in one of the rooms adjacent to the main hotel block. Both times I found the rooms to be very clean (I am fussy) and comfortable. The beds are huge and really comfortable.... More
