2/10 Poor

Can’t believe someone recommended this to me
Arrived just before midnight, late checkin system was as good. Room hadn’t been serviced. Eventually got an onsite guy who spent 15min looking for a clean room. Finally found a single bed rooom. Hotel is very “tired”

Grosvenor Hotel Timaru Review
Nice spacious room, comfortable but feeling a bit dated, very close to the custom steakhouse to stroll down for the best steak in town so I’ll definitely be back.

Central hotel
This hotel is very centrally located, which is handy if you come by coach. It is an older hotel that has been modernised.

The hotel was great, but booked through hotel.com and being able to access them to get an invoice is near impossible

The staff were all friendly, helpful and happy to chat about the history of the old building. The pricing was very reasonable at $255 for two nights. The room was very spacious. I would certainly stay there again.

The property is old but was obviously upgraded a few years back. Friendly service, great location. The seal around the bath needs some urgent attention. While I could hear street noise, the room was warm and I had a good night sleep.

2/10 Poor

Stay away from this place! Not as on pictures - quite dated and poor place Room is dated and not in best condition, bathroom is like from 70ies, when raised it with reception they said it is an oldest room and no other option available. Also had to put drunk teenagers to sleep at midnight as they were noisy. And guess what I got from reception or management- nothing. Avoid this place at all costs.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a room on the second floor which has been recently renovated. Apart from the landing area from the lift which is still being finished, the hallway and room was lovely. The bed was a bit lumpy. But our room was great, clean, modern and quiet. Very good value for money, and nice downtown location, easy walk to cafes. Because there is a bar on the street level, there were a few folks about on the street who had clearly over overindulged. But they were harmless. Overall very pleased with our stay and would recommend.

Heritage property. Newly refurbished rooms excellent. Bathroom and fittings well above expectations. Only disappointing thing was size of towels and lack of soap rack in shower.
