Rooms are clean food is great and service really good, rooms are neat but the parking was a shocker @47 nzd per day and we could hear everything from our room from door slams to people talking in passage and flushing toilets.

Always a good stay, although had a room on 2nd floor with no good view but this doesnt happen often, so all good.

Kia ora L., Great to see you back - I’m glad to hear you had a good stay, even though the view from your room wasn’t the best this time, the hotel was completely full. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you back for another great experience! Best wishes, Bev Guest Relations Coordinator ibis Tainui Hamilton

Comfy and efficient

Kia ora Kathleen, Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to provide us with your feedback, we appreciate it. I was glad to read that you enjoyed your stay and we thank you for your kind comments and your loyalty to Accor. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards, Bev Guest Relations Coordinator ibis Tainui Hamilton

Audrey D. H. B. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

While I appreciate the room service offering, I found the requirement to collect the tray from the bar quite challenging. The trays are often heavy, particularly with plates and cloches, and carrying a glass of wine without a cover while operating the lift, swiping the room key, and opening the room door can be difficult and inconvenient. I would be happy to pay a reasonable service charge for meals to be delivered directly into the room. I believe this would significantly improve the guest experience and would recommend that you consider introducing this as an option.

Kia ora Audrey, Thank you so much for your kind words about your recent stay! The ibis brand sits within the Economy group offering within the Accor group portfolio, and as such typically don't offer room service us such. We try to work around this by offering our guests a Grab n' Go option. We will always try and deliver it to your room if requested, when we have the human resources to do this but take on board your feedback. I completely understand your concerns regarding the tray collection. It can indeed be a bit tricky to juggle everything while trying to get to your room. We appreciate your suggestion for a direct delivery service; it’s great to hear how we can enhance our guest experience. Your feedback is invaluable, and I’ll be sure to share it with our management team for consideration. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts! Kind regards, Bev Guest Relations Coordinator Novotel Tainui Hamilton

Good stay, all good looking. Only one thing and that is paying to the parking.

Kia ora Charles, Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad to hear you had a comfortable stay. I understand parking charges can be a bit inconvenient, and we appreciate your understanding. We hope to welcome you back soon! Kind regards, Bev Guest Relations Coordinator ibis Tainui Hamilton

Richard B. Solo - Confirmed reviews ALL

It was a comfortable stay. The room was great. Clean and well kept. The staff were friendly. Just a couple of dislikes. One revolves around parking. I'd prefer to self-park rather than valet, even if it costs the same. There were times where nobody was at the valet booth. Just a sign instructing you to go to the front desk to have the valet paged. The parking lot is literally a stone's throw away next to the hotel. Not a bother for me to retrieve my own car. Second dislike was the laundry. The machines require coins. I didn't have any local currency and wasn't about to go convert a few dollars just to do laundry. I ended up going to a self-service laundromat away from the hotel and was able pay with a credit card.

Kia ora Richard, Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I’m dleighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and found your room comfortable and clean. It’s great to know our staff made a positive impression on you. I understand your concerns about the valet parking and the laundry situation. While we aim to provide a seamless experience, I appreciate your feedback regarding the valet availability. I’ll make sure to share your thoughts on the self-parking option with the team. As for the laundry, I’m sorry for the inconvenience with the coin-operated machines. We always strive to offer alternatives that suit our guests’ needs, and your experience highlights an area where we can improve. We truly value your feedback, and I hope we can make your next visit even better! Best regards, Bev Guest Relations Coordinator ibis Tainui Hamilton

Michael T. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

Room was OK. Breakfast service was average. Ordered a flat white, was offered a cappuccino by two different staff who looked confused when I refused the wrong order. The order doesn't even sound similar.

Kia ora Michael, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm sorry to hear of the coffee mix up at breakfast - that's not what we want our guests to experience and apologise. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we appreciate your input! Kind regards, Bev Guest Relations Coordinator ibis Tainui Hamilton

Louise L. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Very poor sound proofing heard every door shut, every conversation of people walking past our room.

Kia ora Louise, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’m glad to hear you found your stay comfortable, however, I’m sorry to learn that noise from the hallway affected your experience. We appreciate your feedback and will certainly keep it in mind as we strive to improve. Kind regards, Bev Guest Relations Coordinator ibis Tainui Hamilton

Good location, clean and tidy rooms and facilities. Reception staff friendly, wait and bar staff not so much.

Kia ora Mitchell, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm glad you enjoyed our location- we're so lucky to be right alongside the Mighty Waikato yet in the CBD. I appreciate your feedback about the wait and bar staff, and I’ll make sure to share this with our team to improve our service. Best regards, Bev Guest Relations Coordinator ibis Tainui Hamilton

Karen P. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Sufficient, not exciting. The amenities are really bare bones. Example: the night stands were too tiny to make use of. Face clothes and bath towels, but no hand towels. Tiny little bathroom with no counter or shelf for toiletries. Outrageous asking price for a continental breakfast. Expensive valet parking with barely an alternative.

Customer review rating 4.5/5

Noah V. O. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Everything was fantastically organised and easy to access, I was able to check in 45 minutes early which was great. Breakfasts in the dining room was very much worth it, and the lovely view of the river and bridge were a cherry on top. The only issue was the lack of affordable parking nearby, while valet parking is a good amenity, those of us staying and needing to get the car out multiple times a day struggled.

Sort your tv system out. Every other place allows apps or casting. Bizarre I had to watch terrestrial tv in this day and age.
