No one was there when I arrived. Doors all locked. Rang bell. Nothing. Luckily someone was coming out and we were able to store luggage. No hair dryer. I didn’t have right outlet converter. They did lend me one!!! Good location and close and walkable for sites!

Old and dirty

While the staff were nice and very helpful , they were battling a building that is old, worn out, and dirty. I have a video of me opening my door with a credit card slipped into the gaping space in the door jamb. Not using the key! The air conditioner was always dripping on the bed and floor and soaked everything which is why it smelled like a swamp. The coffee pot has mold all inside it. Yuck. Cockroaches in bathroom. No lift up 3 flights. Location is fine but this is an old and running brewery pub downstairs. Smells like it. Keep the air conditioner off, open the windows and spray for bugs if you stay here. No paid parking either. Price was great though but we still left early. Not for normal travelers.

Courteous staff. No elevator is the main negative concern, but the staff were very helpful in assisting us to carry our luggage up to the 3rd floor.

Room was on 3rd floor and as this hotel is very old there wasn’t a lift and had to climb the stairs every single time, staff was helpful with carrying luggage’s all the way up and down bless them. Very annoying to back and forth with stairs specially when your room is at level three. I was exhausted.

This historic tavern is well-preserved and well run. My partner & I stayed in-house but had our meals in the bar downstairs and enjoyed the boutique beer/cider. The atmosphere is relaxing & the meals well-presented and very enjoyable. The staff were very welcoming and helpful with any enquiries. The ladies toilet was the only disappointment: it is in dire need of a makeover as it was pretty old, messy & needing some repairs in the walls, etc.

I emailed support twice asking about check in and never heard back. We were not aware that the whole hotel would be shutdown with check in being at 2pm. I emailed asking before our stay if we could check in before 2, if we knew this was not possible we would have stayed elsewhere. We ended up missing our booked tours on Waiheke Island which was a shame.

This is a very unpleasant experience of my life. We booked Rayland through Expedia today and when we arrived to hr motel they said they don’t have the bookings and there is no rooms available. We then spoke to customer service at Expedia and they couldn’t resolve that issue and then we paid double the amount to book the Shakespeare hotel for our stay. THIS IS MY WORST EXPERIENCE EVER !!!! The rooms are unclean, aircon isn’t working. The lights are not working, there is no hot water in the shower. The toilet have poo stain on the toilet which wasn’t cleaned before we came in. There is no phone to call the staff members, I have all the photos if you need. My family/friends have been using Expedia for all the bookings but I am going to recommend to stop promoting Expedia and booking through you because it was such a pathetic experience. NEVER BOOKING THROUGH EXPEDIA EVER AGAIN !!!
