Was there for the Lions Tour. We were allocated this hotel and thank goodness we were able to move. It was dreadful - and the fact that it was busy with rugby fans is no excuse, other hotels were fine.
The location is not good - $14 taxi ride each way just to get into town. They advertise that the place has been refurbished - the reception and public areas have but the the rooms..... well, talk about out of the ark! Long dingy corridors, small grubby, tired rooms with a hanging rail and curtain as a wardrobe. The shower would make you feel dirtier!! And to add insult to injury it seems to double as a youth hostel.
