Greyfriars Motel

Lovely property run by a lovely couple! Highly recommended.

I dont believe this motel lives up to its advertising. Spacious it is not. We stayed in a queen studio, but having stayed in a garden studio once before our choice this time was the wrong one. To describe it as having a kitchenette is misleading, there is no sink, or hot plates, but a microwave, fridge, toaster and very limited cutlery and crockery. You fill up the jug in the bathroom. The unit is VERY small, this one strangely enough had a king size bed which dominated the room. There is no comfortable chair, just 2 metal upright dining chairs and a very small glass topped round metal table. The bed was hard and the bathroom had a tiny basin dominated by the tap which protruded too far. There was no room for your sponge bag except on the floor. Sky TV is only available on the TV via your own subscription in a complicated sytem involving the internet. There is minimal space for suitcases. On the plus side it was very clean and tidy, in the centre of town and you could park at the door. We paid $180 (reduced from $190) and in all our years staying at motels this was the worst value. On this holiday we stayed at other locations in a queen studio and found much better value in central Wellington and Lower Hutt. Perhaps there is very little competition for this complex in Greytown,

Great location. Able to walk and enjoy Greytown. A bit tight when sitting outside on the verandah.

Lovely accommodation in the middle of town, was worried about road noise but the double glazing saw to that, lovely to have a heater in the bathroom! Lighting rather poor and having no sink to wash up in a few more plates etc would have been appreciated. Would stay again if there was not a 2% surcharge for using a credit card, something I do not support, businesses have been charged this for 30+ years and is a tax deductible cost of doing business, just like when businesses accepted cheques, they had to pay to bank them too!

Considerng the daily charge the room was lacking in facilities .eg. there is no sink in the ktchen area and you had to rely on staff to replace them next day, very inconvenient

Was just a stopover heading north. Motel was convenient & handy to eateries. Very basic room

This place is easy to find on the main road, great reception beautiful studio did have my doubts on booking as wasn't sure on sleeping arrangements but it was perfect. Wonderful shower, comfortable beds, table and chairs inside and out. lovely to sit outside with a wine, and not listening to other conversations around us. plenty of parking close to units. our studio consisted of king bed and 2 singles.

Great stay
