C, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Smallish rooms but perfect for a business stay. Extremely comfortable beds and the aircon is actually able to be turned down to 16degrees. Far better than boiling in hotel rooms.
Elaine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Awseome staff, clean/quiet rooms, ultra comfortable bed, to die for buffet breakfast at a affordable price. Cant fault this place.
Ritchie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a very affordable option when visiting Hotel Tainui or the Casino. It is even within (a long) walking distance of Claudlands Event Centre.

July 2025

Excellent stay at Ibis. Breakfast was great, clean, spacious rooms. Staff were lovely. Only parking was $40 per night, which I thought was expensive. Other than that it was a great stay with excellent location.

Great location and good value

Central location with fully equipped rooms and comfortable bed with large bathroom. Restaurant and bar area very modern.
Noel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay. Had everything we needed. Only thing I didn’t like was the 3-in-1 shampoo/conditioner/soap. I would generally take my own for a longer stay so not a huge deal.
Jenna, 1-night trip

Business in Hamilton

Perfect for my business trip, Parking needs to be paid for $40 a day.
Chris, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location good breakfast

The bar and breakfast were good. The parking situation a bit less so with having valet parking only. But even that wasn't that much of a hassle. Great central location very convenient for the restaurants and a short 15-20 minute walk to the Rugby stadium.
