Had a wonderful stay at The Convent Hotel. Room was cosy (we stayed in Room 16), spotless, bed was comfortable, great pillows. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Also nice bar area and separate restaurant. Would definitely stay again.
Lovely friendly staff. Room spotless. Very comfortable bedding. Loved the historic building and how it’s been lovingly cared for and enhanced with the thoughtful decor.
A special little hotel away from the city centre but close enough to enjoy it.
our small group had loved staying at the convent hotel. the rooms had personal touches and the public areas - hotel bar, hallways, stairways had an eclectic mix of artwork. comfortable beds. great amenities. and an awesome "chef's selection" group dinner at their onsite restaurant - ada, which was a memorable highlight for most of us during our 12 day visit in new zealand. will love to return one day!

Hotel had real character, very clean, well maintained, staff very helpful. Ada Restaurant was excellent for dinner
Beautiful building, rooms in keeping with the hotels origin - character filled ambiance and charm. Bustling little restaurant and a quaint wine bar are additional bonuses.
We arrived tired from the flight from Canada at 7:30 AM and staff did everything they could to accommodate our getting into our room early. Good advice on things to do and a great restaurant in house. Close to all great “things to do”. Lovely.
Wonderful ambiance. Distinct. Loved the restaurant's food and service.

The room we stayed in was tiny; a bit like a Paris hotel bedroom in size. Parking was good. It is at the rear of the property and felt secluded. Unfortunately the restaurant and bar were closed the night we stayed which made for a dull lifeless atmosphere in the hotel. I would be inclined to stay here again because the building is interesting, but I'd take a larger room and would check to see if the restaurant was open.
