Room was clean, pleasant and spacious, although had a poor view out the back of the hotel and didn’t let much light in. For the price, it was nothing particularly special for a place promoted as a 5 star hotel.

Highly recommend The Mayfair
The nicest staff ever. This place was adorable (not too crazy about the black walls in the room) but other than that the hotel was amazing! Everything we needed, great location, staff was the friendliest we encountered on our month long trip in NZ.

Make sure to order your pillows, right when you get there! We had a late check-in and all of our pillows were super firm, we tried to call the front, but there was no answer. The next night we had ordered some different pillows and it was much better. Overall, the facility is clean and nice.
