What Guests Say About Their Stay

This is a really nice hotel. About the only drawback is that the breakfast is $35 a person so get it included with your room. The staff is excellent and will help you in any way they can. The rooms are extremely nice and everything is complementary in the room. The showers are spacious, which is fun.

The hotel is very well located if you are going to be at the KiCC or anything in the near CBD. The staff is very welcoming and friendly, especially Carol at the front desk. The hotel has 3 restaurants so you are sorted for meals. Great place, I highly recommend it.

I had a lovely stay at Hotel Serena. The staff were so sweet and helpful. There is a good choice of restaurants and a nice bar to have a casual drink at. The hotel is in a good location as it is in the pick up area for tours. I was here for five nights and went out for day trips each day. It felt like a home from home.
