Emerald Hotel

The property was clean, but the inside was dark uninviting, lots of lights out, bed was just ok. The patio chair cushions were flat as pancakes. The car parking was a night mare as only acess to hotel was onthe first floor in which they shared with other businesses so we had to walk our luggage down to flights of ramps... Staff were awesome. Hitel rating i would give a 3 star wouldn't go back. I

Very nice kids love it

The hotel was excellent

The venue looks like it was lovely in its day but it is tired and dated. There is pigeon poop on the ledges outside and the pool needs a revamp. The hotel could be done up beautifully and it would be amazing. Pluses were that the room was fine. Nice staff at check in. Great to be able to park our vehicles.

Had an excellent experice overall there. Staff were awesome.

No working lifts. Pool area barren dirty seating and umbrellas. Damp smell in corridors. No restaurant permanently closed. Outdoor cushions ripped and dirty. Tv reception rubbish. Can't get hold of owner to complain. No milk provided. People partying till 3am in pool area disturbed all patrons. Will not stay there again. No refund offered by staff.

The property is very convenient in town. The reception and service staff are lovely. Views are great

Me and my husband had an awesome stay everything was perfect 🙂

The staff were amazing our room was clean and we had everything we needed However the owner of this hotel is in a prime location and the hotel is in need of a upgrade in all areas,if it wasn’t for there staff i wouldn’t consider this place again

Well positioned. Room was huge with an outside balcony that was also very large that overlooked the river. Awesome receptionist and friendly room staff. Only downside was extremely noisy neighbours and constant banging, maybe doors being slammed. Overall happy enough with our 2 night stay.

Check in was not the best. No staff available. Phone to ring for service but went to message bank. Confusion over where to park car. Lift out of order. Restaurant closed for renovations. Most television currently unavailable. Kettle and tea bags available plus used coffee sachets containing no coffee. Some light bulbs not working. Toilet had brown ring under rim as if not cleaned properly for some time. Shower over bath felt unsafe climbing in and out of as there was nothing available for support. Apart from that the room was spacious, the bed was comfortable and a great view of the river. Unfortunately was the word used several times by reception. Some people management and housekeeping skills would enhance this hotel.

Right in the centre of Gisbourne, so Good for all amenities.

The building is a bit of a maze - having to be dropped off at the front of the building to book in (no parking available), then drive around the building, to the back, with a card to allow access to the parking area - up a steep ramp (we had a 4x4, so height was a concern.) After parking, we found our room & immediately saw the bedcover was full of old stains - also a small tear in the bedsheet & the pillows had no cover, so a stain that was on the actual pillow was visible through the pillowslip! Fortunately we took our own pillows. Upon using the shower (which was over the bath with a glass screen on the side) found it leaked quite badly on the edge attached to the wall. When the room light was switched on, visible hand marks were on the wall art - Lightbulb was dead above the refrigerator area. The carpet looked quite shabby with stains & marks. Overall we were disappointed as the location was good, being near eateries and the view from the room was also nice, looking out over the river. It was also quiet, despite the fact it appeared to be quite full - (from the number of vehicles in the parking area.)

Not a good bathroom for elderly people not even a rubber bathmath in the shower bath

Loved the river view but didnt like that there was no toaster (husband needs food with morning medication) or that there wasn't a sink

Disappointing stay In town for work No hot water 3 out of 4 mornings Hotel very tired compared to last stay a few years back

The staff were friendly and helpful. Convenient parking. Needs signs on walls to direct to rooms. A large place and easy to get lost.

loved it - staff was amazing and accomodating for an early check in 10/10

Upon arrival shown to a grubby room, trimmed hair still in bathroom, deck sticky and dirty from spilled drinks. Bathroom got cleaned, after we checked in,however deck didn't. Noisy as by intersection and lots of flashing Christmas lights, No microwave. A coffee plunger, no coffee or milk, took a day to get it. Not our first stay here & things have only got worse each time. I would say the last time staying here, my guest has booked in elsewhere for there next 3 days in Gisborne. Parking & central location the only positives we could find this visit

This hotel needs an urgent refurbishment. It is rundown, very dirty and the decor very dated. They do not even offer Breakfast. I will not recommend this hotel, nor would I stay there ever again.
