Not with $200 a night

Marianne A. J. Business - 11/09/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

The bathroom had a really bad smell....drains. We had to cover the drains with a wet face cloth. The coffee and sugar must have been there since before lockdown as it was rock hard. We are in Hospitality and always strip the room to help housekeeping The king mattress was very stained and only had a single bed matress cover. Very upset that we slept on this. Yuk !! Be observant of miss-matching glasses and mugs. This shows lack of attention to detail . For $200 a night this is not acceptable. Especially for such a big organisation who professes to be a prestigious hotel group.

Good view, very comfortable bed.

Harriet Business - 02/09/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Was a good place to stay when I couldn't go home. Food was yum, and the bed was very comfortable. The couch was good, but not the most comfortable.

Enjoyed my stay here again. This is the third or fourth time I have stayed here for work and really like the rooms. Comfortable beds, good supply of towels and quiet and warm. The staff are always pleasant and helpful. This time I got a carpark so was greatful! Easy checkout as it was the night that lockdown was announced. Appreciated the fast service for breakfast to my room and the free masks and non contact checkout. All the best to your staff during lockdown. Stay safe and well!

Sarah Couples - 23/08/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Great service - it was my fiance's birthday and they had kindly made him a cake plate and card - the extra little things that will have me recommending this hotel. Rooms are lovely and great amenities in the room.

Kia Ora Sarah O., It is so pleasing to know that when our guest leave the hotel we have made a long lasting impression by exceeding the normal service standards. Your words are very kind and I'll ensure this is circulated to all departments. Warmest Regards, Sarah Bloxham Conference & Guest Coordinator Novotel Tainui Hamilton

Anonymous Business - 23/08/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

It was good. However when I checked in I was given the option to opt out of any surveys being sent to me so I am disappointed to have received this. If you give a customer an option of opting out, they clearly do not want to fill in surveys. That has negatively impacted on my experience.

Kia Ora Fraser, We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Hamilton Tainui. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback regarding your stay. I will share your comments with our team regarding the survey. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one.

Tamara Business - 23/08/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

The accommodation was fine - clean. Took a long time for the person checking me in to locate my details, despite having a booking reference and details.

Dear Tamara S., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Hamilton Tainui. I do apologise you found the check in process to be slow. I have looked into your reservation and can see what may have been the cause of this. Your reservation was made for the 11th August - 12th August however you arrived to check in on the 10th August. This is as per the voucher received by Orbit Work Travel on the 2nd August. I am glad to see you were able to check in a day early and we had a additional room available for you preventing further delays. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Sincerely, Ngā mihi nui, Grayson Croasdale Front Office Manager Novotel Tainui Hamilton

Maddison Couples - 23/08/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Room was very small compared to our booking. Was very hard to understand the girl at the desk. Wasn't told anything about the hotel eg how to get WiFi, the fact there is a restaurant avaliable and how to get to the room. We were wandering around the lobby trying to find where the elevator was. Was nice and close to food and shops though.

Kia Ora Maddison C., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Hamilton Tainui. It is always great to receive feedback. I will share your comments with our team.

Visited for my wife's birthday. Great service good food easy check-in conformable rooms for family. Location was extremely central and my request for Riverside room was sorted by complimentary upgrade to a riverview. Exceeded expectation.

Outstanding staff

JanineRodge Business - 24/07/2021 TripAdvisor review

Every staff member we encountered, from the front desk to the room attendants was friendly, welcoming, helpful and professional. Special mention must be made of Poppy who served us in the restaurant and bar area. Not only was she very pleasant and enjoyable to chat to as she served us, but from observing her interactions with not only other guests but also her fellow colleagues shows she is exceptional staff member on every level and such an asset to your team.

Anniversary

Ordered room service , was disappointed with the food as it didn't seem it be very fresh The staff were very helpful and front desk was very efficient when booking in and arriving Enjoyed the quick exit on the Sunday morning when leaving , thank you

Well worth the experience

paeakau 11/04/2021 TripAdvisor review

The services we experienced (at reception, at room service, at the bar and at breakfast were very professional, warm and welcoming. The room (overlooking the panoramic view of the Waikato River) was very comfortable with the standard amenities - air conditioning and heating; tea, coffee, hot chocolate, sugar milk, an iron and ironing board, a box of tissues, shampoo, conditioning, show gel, body lotion and a hair dryer available. The best was having a nice room to stay in. The least liked was having to check out!
