Hotels near University of Waikato, Hamilton

Do not stay here unless you plan on having a terrible night’s sleep. This hotel is a nightmare! There is a sign as you enter the room saying “no discos or parties” which is just as well because there is plenty of that going on, on the street below for you to enjoy while trying to get to sleep until 3 or 4 am. The only good thing initially about the hotel is the location however that soon proved to be a negative with the insane amount of noise until super late (music, loud cars, people yelling and an odd humming noise in the ceiling). The room - especially the bathroom is lower quality more like a 2-3 star hotel. I have no idea how this is considered 4 star! The toilet seat was yellowish and well used - not attached well to the toilet and slid around. The shower water pressure is weak and positioned for people who are short. The carpet is well worn and the towels small. There are limited parking spaces which are first come first serve. Terrible customer service. The people at the front desk are unhelpful and did not explain how to get into the hotel after hours leaving me stranded outside until they finally answered the phone and hurriedly provided a code for the door. The lift sounds like it is about to break and was out of order at 1am. This hotel is perfect if you don’t value sleep, quality and friendly customer service. I would prefer to eat a cheese grater than stay here again.

The staff are amazing. I had a health scare while I was staying there. The closest ambulance was 3 hours away. One of the staff members I believe her name was Kodie, drove me in her own vehicle to the hospital. She was amazing. I can't thank her enough.

Easy to communicate and check in. Breakfast service started nice and early meaning we could have it before heading off. Very comfortable rooms.

We stayed 2 nights and really enjoyed the stay at this property. We haven't been really active on Accor brands as we are top tier with Marriott Bonvoy. But our recent stays across several Novotel locations will make us consider building up more stays with them.

Everything is good, no meal included. The location is very good, you can reach almost everywhere you want to.Hamilton is not a touristic city comparing to other cities in NZ. So you can choose living here for some days.thanks

The room was really clean and spotless. The beds were so comfy to sleep in, and the bathroom was so clean, and the shower pressure was perfect. Customer service was also very professional overall 9.9/10

This was the cheapest hotel for Hamilton we could find, and it was absolutely fine. Ok, the location was a little bit hidden for a moment as it didn’t seem to clearly say ‘hotel’ or anything along the main road it was on, rather than it was a little turn off to properly enter it and see it. So, it needed to be more visible in my opinion. The top surface of the bed backboard didn’t look like it had been dusted in a while, but it wasn’t a problem. The beds were spring mattresses so that was a little old fashioned; it felt a little rickety and I would’ve preferred a normal mattress or similar. Apart from that, everything else was great and a great price too. Recommended if need a quick one or two nights.

We went to the Hamilton Balloon Festival and booked a suite. It was clean overall, but the carpet felt a little old and not as new as it looked in the pictures. The front desk check-in service was clear and enthusiastic.

Breakfast is not delicious, do not have breakfast, there are ants and bugs in the room, friends in the same group have been bitten, must pay attention, the room layout is OK, the cleaning is also clean, the front desk brother is very handsome, the service attitude is also very good
