The Post Hotel

The Post Hotel

8/10 Good
"A very clean and basic room and facilities, however minimal utensils and very small mugs, only two and when trying to have a cup of soup. 😂 No touches of luxury, however nice bed and very clean linen and good shower. Excellent position for walking to all shops and amenities around central Porirua. Perfect hotel for up in the morning, back at night to sleep over."
