Stay at St Pauls

Ideally situated close to government buildings for work trip, very close to train and bus stations - 2 mins walk away. This includes the airport bus. Close to many cafes, a NW supermarket and restaurants. Cooking facilities are great, washer/dryer a plus too. Nice and quiet at night, but VERY hot inside, despite cold weather and all visible heating switched off!

Well resourced room. close to bus station. I messed up with key and they sorted me out quickly.

Waiting for refund... room was dirty and unhygienic was not willing to stay there .awaiting refund for cancelation

Good location, big area with all we needed. Price was really good value, everything worked. All slightly dated but all very comfortable. Thank you!

DO NOT RECOMMEND STAY HERE! Our booking was mucked up and we ended up going from a 2 bedroom apartment to a studio with an extra fold out bed. Owner was not particularly helpful. The fold out was broken with springs and supports hanging off it. The sheets on the main bed were dirty - had to wash them as well as the towels which were also used and dirty. Only positive is that it’s close to the train station.

Terrible.. filthy unit. Not cleaned properly if cleaned at all. Dirty cutlery in drawers.. beach tops greasy in kitchen.. shower unit had black mould in corners and dirty shower tray...kitchen sink had dirty water in it..cups and glasses not clean.. disgusting.. bathroom vanity..paint chipped and old grimy surfaces Manager aggressive and wouldn't give me any refunds for 3 nights.. I had planned to stay.. I couldn't stay in the unit.. it was musty and mouldy smelling.. would never recommend this dump to anyone.. the management were hostile and dismissive.. the place is run down and misrepresented in ads.

Where do you start? Someone else's sock in the bed, hairs (not mine) on the bathroom floor, cups so stained you cant drink out of them, heater fell off the wall, everything stained from sofa, curtains, carpets. And the smell. Aaron after I moved out he had somewhere more to my liking. Its not about liking, its about basic cleanliness and this place was filthy.

I can only say that had I read other reviews on here I would not have booked this place and for the price we paid (near $200 pn) it was by far the worst we had during our six weeks in NZ. Room was not as advertised, carpet was old, worn and stained and had not been vacuumed. Only one sofa and mini table for eating on - room would not fit anything bigger. On arrival we noticed sink was filthy and benches had not been cleaned. Stovetop and oven were also both dirty. Had to do clean it myself (when I complained after we left, was told everything was clean, yeah, well I cleaned the bench tops and stovetop). Bed was OK but sheets were unironed and whilst they might have been clean certainly had not been commercially laundered, more likely just washed and dried in the provided washing machine/dryer. We also found wet sheets in the washing machine (and no, I don’t believe the manager’s story that the previous guest left them there - more likely the owner who uses the place during the week). Shower leaked water all over the floor, no bath mat provided, hand towel and face cloths were thin and stained (fit for rags). Paintwork was dreadful, could see where bits had been patched and colour painted over with white. Whole place needs renovating (manager said it was 20 years old, yeah, well it should be being rented out at the price). As an added insult I asked the owner/manager via intercom, if we could leave our bags and collect later. He said yes, cleaner would collect and take them to the office (which was not open even thought this when it was advertised as being open). Double checked he would be there on our return as we could not ring him. On return manager was not there (again when office was supposed to be open), so, fortunately we kept the key and found our bags still in the room. Manager denied this conversation and reckons he said we just leave the bags in the room and take our key with us. What he said was nothing like what he says he said. As I could not discuss any of these issues with the manager before I left, I contacted him afterwards asking for a partial refund ,but he refused, simply offering a free night in the future (an empty promise as he knew we were from overseas and probably won’t be back, and it would be easy forget or not honour the offer anyway.)
