The check in was very quick and we were shown personally to our lovely room which we had booked with a balcony. The owner was so kind and friendly and always on hand should you need anything. The room was big and clean and the location perfect. The kitchen was a lovely bonus. The shower was powerful. The bed was so comfortable and had the best night sleep. Wish we could have stayed longer, it really is the most wonderful area located 1 minute from the beach and all the lovely shops and restaurants of Paihia. Would recommend 100%

Edelweiss Motel is an older, basic accommodation as you would expect for the price. Our room was a good size, it was clean and the bed was comfortable. The swimming pool and the surrounding area were clean and neat. I find swimming pools are often too cold for me, but the water here was a very nice temperature.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room had a pungent curry smell, but was relatively clean except under the bed where it had not been cleaned in a very long time. The kitchen window latch was broken, the shower had not been cleaned adequately. Staff were friendly, yet the premises were not well maintained, broken washing line and unorganized cleaning material in the laundry. The pool had lots of hair in it and the spa water was obviously not changed as it was yuck. Pahia itself was beautiful but the hotel although relatively cheap was not the best and will not return for another stay
