Best Hotels in Hamilton, New Zealand

Do not stay here unless you plan on having a terrible night’s sleep. This hotel is a nightmare! There is a sign as you enter the room saying “no discos or parties” which is just as well because there is plenty of that going on, on the street below for you to enjoy while trying to get to sleep until 3 or 4 am. The only good thing initially about the hotel is the location however that soon proved to be a negative with the insane amount of noise until super late (music, loud cars, people yelling and an odd humming noise in the ceiling). The room - especially the bathroom is lower quality more like a 2-3 star hotel. I have no idea how this is considered 4 star! The toilet seat was yellowish and well used - not attached well to the toilet and slid around. The shower water pressure is weak and positioned for people who are short. The carpet is well worn and the towels small. There are limited parking spaces which are first come first serve. Terrible customer service. The people at the front desk are unhelpful and did not explain how to get into the hotel after hours leaving me stranded outside until they finally answered the phone and hurriedly provided a code for the door. The lift sounds like it is about to break and was out of order at 1am. This hotel is perfect if you don’t value sleep, quality and friendly customer service. I would prefer to eat a cheese grater than stay here again.

The staff are amazing. I had a health scare while I was staying there. The closest ambulance was 3 hours away. One of the staff members I believe her name was Kodie, drove me in her own vehicle to the hospital. She was amazing. I can't thank her enough.

Good location, by the river, you can take a walk when you go out. It is also located in the city center, and it is convenient to eat and shop next to it. The room is small, only the kettle and fridge. But health is good.

This was the cheapest hotel for Hamilton we could find, and it was absolutely fine. Ok, the location was a little bit hidden for a moment as it didn’t seem to clearly say ‘hotel’ or anything along the main road it was on, rather than it was a little turn off to properly enter it and see it. So, it needed to be more visible in my opinion. The top surface of the bed backboard didn’t look like it had been dusted in a while, but it wasn’t a problem. The beds were spring mattresses so that was a little old fashioned; it felt a little rickety and I would’ve preferred a normal mattress or similar. Apart from that, everything else was great and a great price too. Recommended if need a quick one or two nights.

We stayed at the novotel for 3 night while I had surgery. The hotel is clean and tidy. The rooms are great with everything you would need. We didn't get milk but saw them on a service cart so might have been missed. The rooms were quiet but wouldn't say sound proof. The only issue was parking. We paid 32 for valet parking and it's was fine first night as it was kept in the basement but then it got busy and they took it elsewhere. Hubby was trying to come see me after surgery and he waited 40 mins outside for the vehicle. He isn't someone who likes to go back and follow up he hates confrontation and he waited till 30 mins then went and asked. Staff were friendly and there was always someone on the desk. Room service was good and hubby had dinner but was quiet expensive. I wouldn't stay again if I needed parking. But if I didn't I'd stay there so close to town and hospital

I am a motel cleaner myself and I must admit I did check everywhere out of curiosity and I was not disappointed, everything was spotless, everything you need is in the room except for a microwave and oven but Uber eats is a great option and I feel not as guilty ordering when you don’t have any other choice. I tried to watch the TV which wouldn’t work at first so needed to be reset then once it was working could not get sound with Netflix but had sound with the normal tv channels wasn’t a problem for us as we had devices and the wifi works well, the handle for the shower and bath are connected, normally I’m guessing u can turn them on separately but it wasn’t allowing me to do that, so when I had a shower the bath tap was also running. Very minor things wrong that didn’t affect our time here

Breakfast is not delicious, do not have breakfast, there are ants and bugs in the room, friends in the same group have been bitten, must pay attention, the room layout is OK, the cleaning is also clean, the front desk brother is very handsome, the service attitude is also very good

We stayed early Nov 2023 for our sons wedding. The accommodation is very clean and everything there that you need. Large bathrooms and there was plenty of water and milk provided in the fridge on the first floor. The beds were large and comfortable. The venue for weddings is perfect, plenty of parking and room for large groups in the common areas. The reception room is perfect with a view from all the windows it makes a great backdrop for the photos. The grounds are very well kept and it was a delight to stay there. The staff are so attentive, hard working and so friendly and efficient. Check in was a breeze, very informative and helpful. The continental breakfast was very well catered for starting the day. Thank you everyone at The Narrows Landing, I will be highly recommending to family and friends.

Awesome experience!
