Traveller reviews

“Convenient for a one night stay”
09 Apr 2025
The location of the Cambridge Hotel was excellent. Only a 10 minute walk to Te Papa. The bedroom we shared between four people was good. The beds were comfortable and the room and bathroom were very clean. We also liked the pub underneath. I especially loved stained glass windows and the old fashioned lift that you had to close the doors yourself.

“Good”
07 Apr 2025
That I paid $89 night for single room with booking.com to find if I’d contacted you direct it would’ve been $65 but I didn’t know about you then so I will definitely do that next time so that was annoying and it meant I couldn’t upgrade to room with bathroom Otherwise it was fine good location

“Good Location,great Staff!”
29 Mar 2025
Reception Staff very helpful, professional. Room clean and comfortable.

“Pretty solid stay, great location (especially for Fringe).”
26 Mar 2025
Super affordable and the staff were always available to help & friendly. The private rooms were definitely a step up from the dorms, but that's completely to be expected.

“Comfortable stay if you want somewhere central and cheap.”
24 Mar 2025
Comfortable beds, helpful staff and great location and value for money.

“Good”
21 Mar 2025
Good value for money, clean room, friendly staff, central location in walking distance to waterfront and city centre, easy check-in/check-out. Perfect if you just want a practical place to stay over night. You need to be prepared for some noise though, it is not a quiet location. And plan your own parking.
