Overall Ratings & Reviews The Honest Lawyer, an Ascend Collection Hotel

Great meals. Comfy beds.

We checked in late but were welcomed by a very helpful nice fella. Our room was excellent as was the parking and facilities, however.....in the morning we were a little late leaving our room, the cleaner was yelling through the door to "hurry up"..repeating this several times. When we excited here she was directly opposite our door, leaning up against the wall with her arms crossed giving a feral look. Most unpleasant check out ive EVER had .

Staff were friendly and helpful. Very unique setting for the hotel with terrific scenery.

While the cleaning lady was nice, the room is in need of a makeover, the floor needed cleaning under the basin and considering it’s a hotel with a restaurant it would have been good to have the option of breakfast - even if just a continental one. $207 per night seemed a lot for what we got.

Beautiful location on the waterfront, lovely pub with plently of seating. Close to the city, airport and Richmond. Small amount of airplane noise during the daytime

Nice room and the staff are so helpful. Does externaly look a little tired in places . Would recommend though

A quaint hotel with lots happening on a Sunday afternoon from the guitar playing and singing group to the weekend long lunch crowd enjoying the beautiful outdoor area at the front. My single room (double bed) was very quiet.

Great room so nice and peaceful and to a high standard Great garden bar and meal awesome hotel 😊

Could use a refresh but clean and functional. Rooms are spacious but could use better cooling. Only floor fans provided.

Unique property! Good pub. Great hiking.

Staff and stay amazing.

Nic accomodation. Lovely grounds

When booking this accommodation they need to inform you that the rooms are upstairs. I spoke with a member of the accommodation as we were traveling to nelson for the night, we had just arrived in the south island by ferry arriving at 5-30 pm. On arrival We need to ask for help with our bags which did not go down well with the office staff. We enquired about meals at their restaurant and told the restaurant closed at 7pm. Three adults at 70 years plus of age. I should have been told when we made communcation that the restaurant would be closed on arrival. Office staff need better training dealing with public. The two girls that carried our bags to our room were very helpful to deal with. No help around in the morning to take the bags down to the car. A great welcome to the South Island. The two brothers have health problems that was why were making this trip around the south island. We had to drive back into town to find a restaurant open at this time of night, we could only find MC Donalds.

Charming place, beautiful grounds. Restaurant was excellent

It’s a charming place to stay and very quiet. We found it to be a totally lovely and welcome relief after several days on the trail. They were extremely hospitable and accommodating. Dinner was fantastic.

Great spot with character

The staff were extremely helpful, and the pub downstairs has great quality food and drinks.

Wr had a great stay. Ample parking, beautiful grounds, delicious breakfasts. The room was cozy and comfortable. I would defjnitely stay here again.
