This historic tavern is well-preserved and well run. My partner & I stayed in-house but had our meals in the bar downstairs and enjoyed the boutique beer/cider. The atmosphere is relaxing & the meals well-presented and very enjoyable. The staff were very welcoming and helpful with any enquiries. The ladies toilet was the only disappointment: it is in dire need of a makeover as it was pretty old, messy & needing some repairs in the walls, etc.

Staff and service were super friendly and accommodating. Having the pub on the bottom floor was so convenient and they offered guests a discount on pub food and drink which was awesome as the pub food was super good 😊 Unfortunately no elevator which I can see being an issue for older visitors or those with a lot of luggage, but it was fine for us. We honestly did not mind the 4 floor walk up to our room every night. The building is old, but that adds to the charm and they provided us with plenty of blankets and a space heater to help with the Auckland winter. Had to keep the bathroom window open a crack to help with ventilation but after an hour or two it was fine to be shut. The hotel as a whole is super conveniently located and we could walk to anything located within the city center area, or just take the short walk to a bus/train stop(s) close by. From our room we could hear the regular city/street noises, but nothing too loud to keep us awake, and I'm a pretty light sleeper, so it doesn't take much to wake me up.

It was horribly dirty, like no one even vacuumed the floor in years. Beds were uncomfortable and broken, very cold, bright from the street lights and noise at night. Horrible experience!

Checking in was a bit difficult as you have to do it at the restaurant that is attached. This might be because it is the off season or because there are only a handful of rooms.

Nice hotel above a brew pub so can get a bit noisy at night but not too bad. The building is historic so no elevator but the staff helped me with my bags. Many things within walking distance.

While the staff were nice and very helpful , they were battling a building that is old, worn out, and dirty. I have a video of me opening my door with a credit card slipped into the gaping space in the door jamb. Not using the key! The air conditioner was always dripping on the bed and floor and soaked everything which is why it smelled like a swamp. The coffee pot has mold all inside it. Yuck. Cockroaches in bathroom. No lift up 3 flights. Location is fine but this is an old and running brewery pub downstairs. Smells like it. Keep the air conditioner off, open the windows and spray for bugs if you stay here. No paid parking either. Price was great though but we still left early. Not for normal travelers.

Room was on 3rd floor and as this hotel is very old there wasn’t a lift and had to climb the stairs every single time, staff was helpful with carrying luggage’s all the way up and down bless them. Very annoying to back and forth with stairs specially when your room is at level three. I was exhausted.
