An impressive, friendly boutique hotel in the city
Everything about the Intrepid is great! Staff were very helpful - I'd booked incorrectly, but they were very helpful and sorted everything out for us. The foyer is decorated in a dark period style. There was a lively bar at the back which had craft beer and decent wines. The bedroom was huge - decorated in dark warehouse style - I loved it. The croissants for breakfast were delicious, and we had some of the lovely snacks and soft drinks. Cuba street starts at the corner of the block and we tried a few restaurants along there - all delicious. Te papa museum is a 10 min walk.

LOVED my short stay here. Room and facilities were perfect, chique and homely. Loved all of the products available in the room and the ability to do my laundry which was a relief after travelling around. So close to many great food and entertainment options. Will definitely be back!

Such a cool property, the stuff was super friendly and checked on us several times a day. They brought us a treat every afternoon. The coffee and croissants and coffee in the mornings were a perfect start to our day.
The location couldn’t have been better.

Great little hotel
It’s quite tricky to find the hotel as it’s unassuming from the front with a small sign. It is stunning as soon as you enter. The interior is very stylish and the elevator is so cool. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Our room was amazing; quite dark but very stylish. We loved the bathroom and the bed was so comfy. It’s in a great place - not too far from the airport and surrounded by great shops, restaurants and cafes.

Great hotel in the middle of the art district. Many restaurants located close by, and the hotel is not too far from the waterfront. The room was spacious and clean.
