Right on the river around tons of restaurants. The staff is very helpful and very responsive to your requests. ##### Scott ### 6/10 Okay #### Glen, Gisborne NZ Jun 8, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### The Local has a great central position The staff treated me very well, the breakfast was fine, the hotel location is great and the Penthouse is spacious but now in need of renovation. The tariff is lower than normal due to the construction of a major building next door. The spacious balcony is showered with small pieces of debris from 7am until 5pm - It is effectively unusable but that is reflected in the cheaper room rate. I understand once the building next door is completed there will be a refurbish. The Penthouse has an outside annex which contains the showers etc and dust gets into that area plus it takes impacts from the debris hitting the light roof material. The sound of some impacts is enough to make you wince - The screening to catch debris is only partially effective. Do leave your key at reception and ask for a room clean as the grit gets into the room when you come back in after using the shower annex. ##### Glen ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveler Jan 28, 2015 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Good location and value I was upgraded to the Penthouse, but the condition of that room is less than ideal. There are large chunks of paint missing on the walls, the shower was quite dirty and didn't work well, and due to construction you can't use the rooftop patio. The low price is due to some of the inconvenience from the construction next door, which overall wasn't much of an issue most mornings. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful, and the food from the restaurant is decent. ##### Verified traveler ### 6/10 Okay #### A J, Devizes Jan 17, 2015 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Room for improvement Hotel currently next to building site. Nice enough but empty. Slightly tired condition. Makeover required. ##### A J ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveler Jan 7, 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A place to avoid Hard to find at first since the name of the hotel is not marked on the street level. If you look up 10-15 m. you can if you look carefully see the name of the place. After check-in I noticed the alarming levels of construction noise. Door of room was very weak. Could easily be forced up. I went out for dinner and when I returned to the room around midnight the reception was locked up behind a fence and glass. I rang the bell, I banged the door, I rocked the fence. Nothing. A Cambodian man begun also banging on the door. After 20 minutes or so the receptionist opened the door. The next morning the construction work begun at 07 in the morning. That marked the end of a horrible visit. I'm sorry to say to but this is a place to avoid. ##### Verified traveler ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveler Jan 27, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveler Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveler Dec 20, 2016 ##### Verified traveler ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveler Oct 22, 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### War vielleicht mal schön ##### Verified traveler ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mitchell Sep 25, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Mitchell
