What Guests Say About Their Stay

Plaza Hotel is in a great location on the Esplanade, but a bit removed from the busiest areas so it is quieter at night. The room was excellent except the bathroom could use an upgrade to lighting (only a couple of overhead lights so hard to see clearly in the mirror and shower). The staff were friendly and helpful. Our ocean view suite had a great view of the water.

Nice and central, clean and friendly reception. We stayed here (mum and 12yo daughter) for 3 nights and felt safe. The hotel is older but it is clean and comfortable. Would absolutely stay again.

Nice room and good location just a short walk from the main esplanade area which made it quieter and less busy. The room was very spacious and had good amenities.

Lovely large room with separate bedroom. Air con throughout although bedroom air con unit noisy and not always responsive. Basic items for eating food and microwave to heat things up. Great views out over the water watching the boats and ships coming and going. Laundry on site was a bonus. Very convenient for all the downtown activities.
