Grey District Aquatic Centre Tours and Activities

Has been reviewed on previously, we found similar issues .. Clinton was very friendly on check in .. Our upgraded room from studio to one bedroom upstairs at the very end was ok. Clean linen and towels, beds were comfortable. Not having an allocated carpark was inconvenient, at one stage having to park away from our room. Very tired building, fittings, carpet etc.. maintenance sorry to say is well overdue. The pumbling is questionable.. very noisey and shower was terrible .. we needed to have it hard to the cold in order not to get scolded.. which meant it was more like a tap than a shower.. we did report it.. also having smokers in the next room was an unpleasant surprise .. we did get the room discounted so taking that into consideration .. did we get value for money ? Unsure ..

Clean room, easy check in and check out

I got in late at night, the lady on the desk was lovely. However, when I went to my pod I couldn’t even use the locker as the other travellers had left their luggage completely blocking and clothes were hanging on the ladder to the top where I was assigned. I moved to a private room for $355 NZD, which is overpriced for a 1 star hotel room. My carpet had clearly been vomited on or something, it was badly stained and the entire carpet was so dirty. Linen was clean thankfully, and the staff were helpful and friendly. If you’re ok with the hostel style it’s a good value, for me it would have been much less expensive and significantly nicer to stay at Novotel.
