We stayed at the Astral for one night in March 2013. At first sight, given the location of the Astral we thought it would be noisy but were pleasantly surprised to hear no traffic noise at all. Our unit was very clean and the bed was comfortable, notably fridge was remarkably quiet. Free internet was of high quality, a wide... More

We stayed here for one night only. Road noise terrible, no aircon so needed all the windows open. The double bed was terrible. The shower head was broken with water spurting everywhere and the front sliding door could be lifted and opened by hand after having locked it with the key. The owner was approached and shown this fault whereby... More

We were unable to get tradesmen in as it was 3 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon.The lady who booked 2 units said one person could stay in her room when she was offered another bed in the room.$120 is not excessive when the whole town is booked out.Properties with aircon charge anything from $170 upwards.

Stayed for a few nights over Xmas holidays. Great service and location in the Wanganui area. Kids loved the play area and park and river right opposite. Everything Wanganui has to offer within walking distance. Spotlessly clean and friendly staff. Great value for money

Stayed here for 4 nights over Xmas. Friendly hosts. Very fussy wife declared that the standard of cleanliness very high. Excellent location - handy to everything. Vehicle access was good with no traffic worries. Good Sky T.V. coverage.

My husband and I recently stayed here after a three day/two night canoe trip of the Whanganui River. The owner was super friendly and the facilities well suited for the groceries and meal preparation we did. Internet was free and fast, something not often found. The room was spacious and comfortable and the location great as well. Would definitely stay... More

You know if you are only paying $NZ75 per night this won't be a five star experience, but the Astral Motel provided all I needed during a six night budget stay in Whanganui, which included limitless free wi-fi. In spite of being near the road my unit was perfectly quiet, no problem sleeping at all. The guest laundry was perfectly... More

Very loud traffic noise, and full of flies. Dated and couch looks as if it came from an op shop. Stayed in a fabulous apartment in Auckland last week for similar cost. Office person not interested in assisting to quieter unit. Because of location probably all similar.

There was no other big unit available but a smaller unit away from the road was offered, It is nestled behind mature trees which cut out the noise.The sofa is 2 years and purchased brand new.There is fly spray in all units.One bedroom units in Auckland cost a lot more than $125 for three. More

We were given instructions to get to the motel from the booking sheet, and thanks to these found it easily, despite unfamiliarity with Wanganui city roads. The motel is situated by the river and even though is close to the road, the fine gardens buffer the unit we were in from any noise. We have a preference for older motels... More

This is an older style motel that we found to be clean and tidy and the owner was very helpful. If you are looking for a tidy bugdet motel I would recommend Astral.
