Wonderful historic property. Really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely hotel and staff

Last night in NZ before flight back to UK couldn’t have been at a better place for service, comfort and location. Will quite happily book this again next time we’re back in NZ

Lovely stay again, thank you!

Wonderful stay again. Very friendly staff, excellent breakfast, comfy and quiet rooms. The room was very well cleaned. Only the toilet brush in the bathroom could get some attention.

I had stayed in the hotel when an officer in the Air Force Cadets and it was Wigram's Officers Mess. A great nostalgic stay. Everything i remember but better

8/10 Very good

Was a nice hotel where I wished I had more time to enjoy. It was off the beaten path. The Owner’s were superb. Fun if you want a quiet place in a vintage setting. Price point was above average. Overall, I liked it and would recommend.
Peter, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A beautiful room with a nice comfortable bed and a spacious, well-appointed bathroom. We enjoyed our stay. The areas where I have given less stars were because there was no one at reception when we arrived and I had to go and find someone to check in, and because I was concerned about the condition of the windows - there is mould around the frames and on the upper windows and they need a good clean. Our room was on the south side so I understand why this is an issue, but it just needs a bit more care.

A very quiet place to stay as the Hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood.

Room was fantastic, all that was needed Restaurant and bar was a little chilly and food selections a little limited

Beautiful restoration of this ex-RNZAF building. Well appointed bathroom. Amazingly comfortable bed.
Mark, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Always stay here as comfortable, quiet and the staff are fantastic. Love the new menu.The only thing I would suggest is more TV channels- sky movies or chromecast available on the tv's in the bedrooms.
AMIE, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay only bug bear is the tv in the room Limited channels and a pain to operate

8/10 Very good

Hotel staff were extremely nice and helpful. I should nite that the hotel does not have a lift, so if you stay on an upper floor, be prepared to carry your bags up the stairs.
Dan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Property is amazing. May not look like much from outside but rooms are amazing. Best beds and close to 5 star type experience in the room. Amazing staff. Great service. Marty at the bar is just awesome.
Lawerance, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A hidden gem

Very charming hotel with lots of interesting history & strong tie to RNZAF. The bathroom has heated floor, what a lovely surprise! The restaurant makes nice meals and provides good customer service. The only setback is the desk inside the room was too small and there’s no power point near the desk, a bit difficult for a business traveler.
Joanna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location does not have a lift and limited staff to help with luggage if you are assigned a second fooor space. Not for older adults or people with ambulation problems unless they can promise first fooor accommodations.
CYNTHIA, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Price to high for what they have to offer
Claire, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quiet and easy to access. Friendly helpful staff Air con was uncontrollable kept resetting itself onto higher temperature therefore turned it off and opened windows which was OK but a bit noisier. Thought you would like to know that the seal on shower door was not good and leaked onto outside floor.
Ron, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was very nice and comfortable, the staff were friendly, the food in the restaurant was very good. And it's a good location for the Wigram and southern parts of the city. But what lets the place down is it lacks atmosphere or charm in the public areas like reception and corrdiors. Considering it was once the Officers' Mess for Wigram Air Base, you'd think this would be reflected in the decor and style. But you'd hardly know, there was little to show. The corridor to our room was a long, dreary and cold space with the occasional picture on the walls which had nothing to do with the place's history or location. And the grounds were really unloved. It would not take much to make this hotel more welcoming and unique. It has such potential.
David, 4-night trip

Nice room. Old Air Force building. Dining not so remarkable.
