Room is okay. Not friendly for family with young kids/ infants/toddlers. They don’t even have an oven to heat up the food for kids nor a bread toast and charge hefty money for a night stay. The only staff we interacted was the reception lady and she was okay. tiny and congested bathroom

Great location. Close to the town. We have booked for one night on the way from Wellington to Auckland on 1st of Jan.. hoping to have rest and food on the site. The restaurant and the bar were closed. Had to go to town for the dinner. Very good property but very poorly maintained. Old carpets old fashioned AC unit in the room, The 4th floor area near lift was leaking. Could see buckets around floor to catch the water. No real vibe. Not sure the what is happening with hospitality industry in NZ. Day by day quality of service is diminishing every where. Have used Copthrone hotels before in NZ. Not up to the reputation.

We stayed for 2 days in a superior room with a queen bed. The Copthorne hotel is quiet, comfortable, and easy to access, with stunning views out of the window. Especially, the duvet is very soft and smooth. It's good for deep sleep. Thanks.

Average condition very comfy bed

The rooms were clean and the bed was extremely comfy for lovers of a soft bed but the hotel was a lot more run down than I expected. The carpets were worn and the pool area was in a sorry state. The pool wasn’t that warm and the two hot tubs were tiny.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We had an overall enjoyable stay at the hotel. The room was clean and well-kept, which we really appreciated. That said, a few small upgrades could significantly improve the guest experience. For example, the room still uses a traditional key instead of a key card, which feels a bit outdated for a hotel. Also, while the bathroom was tidy, the shower head was rusty, which gave a less-than-ideal first impression. These are minor details, but updating them would help elevate the overall quality of the stay.

AWESOME staff members, clean comfortable room, my son loved the heated pool and i loved the spa! My partner liked the gym and the bar was a nice added bonus after a long day out and about. Perfect spot to relax yet so close to all the activities we had planned. Would definitely stay here again. Highly reccomend.
