Its location is nice, walking distance to most of the tourist spots. But it takes 15mins to walk to the nearest intercity bus stop.
The room is warm and cozy, the environment is good.
Response from Property: Hi Winnie Thank you for your review and feedback. We are very lucky to be in such a great location with the Botanic Gardens and the historic Arts Centre within 1 minute's walk of our hotel. I am glad that you found your room to be warm and cozy while you stayed with us. Hopefully we can host you again sometime. Kind regards, Samuel - Reception Manager

It was nice and reasonable. The botanical gardens are in front of the hotel. But it doesn't have a soundproofing…
Response from Property: Hello Thank you for your feedback and review. Sorry to see that you could hear some noise during your stay but I am glad that you still enjoyed your overall time with us. Kind regards, Samuel - Reception Manager

Booked a bed in a dorm room, pretty convenient and clean. The bathroom was clean and fresh. The location is right across the art center. Everything is in walking distance. The staffs were kind and helpful. Minus point is that they didn’t provide tooth paste brush. Overall, I would love to stay at Give Hotel again someday. ☺️
Response from Property: Hello Kristian. Thank you for your review and feedback. Nice to see that you enjoyed your time with us and found so much to like about our property, staff and local area. We do have toothbrush and toothpaste available for purchase from Reception. I hope we have the opportunity to host you again someday. Kind regards, Samuel - Reception Manager

Hotel is very nice and easy access to all location. The art gallery is just next door and full of tourists. Front desk customer service is friendly and helpful. The hotel have a common kitchen and allow you to cook your meal. Kitchen open hour from 7am to 10pm. Besides that, also have hot water. We booked a deluxe room that have 2 divide room with 1 toilet. So is allowed more space for us to pack our luggage.
Response from Property: Thank you for leaving such a kind and full review! I am glad that you found so much to enjoy about our hotel and local area. We are thankful to be in such a good location close to the Botanic Gardens and Arts Centre. I am also glad that you utilised the facilities at our hotel. Hopefully we can host you again sometime. Kind regards, Samuel - Reception Manager

The worst experience I ever have in a hotel:
1. Unclear information about the room: I booked a classic room in a hotel with images about bathroom inside however I received a room with a shared bathroom and the reception complained me because did not read the detailed information inside the collapsed section???
2. The hotel and their staffs requests me to provide my card information to follow their procedures although it is not mentioned in hotel policy in trip.com. They explained that it will be charged in case the room has issues after check-out. I did not agree with that and suggested that using cash deposit instead but they did not accept and did not allow me to check in?
3. Hotel staff is very rude and I even remember his name as Sameera
4. The room in night is very loudy because of the sound of banging on the door and the sound of opening and closing the shared bathroom door next to our bedroom.
Response from Property: Hi Ngô Thị. Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us. We do try to make our classic room with shared bathroom features as obvious as possible for guest when they book. We do not control where trip.com choose to show room information. I will take your feedback on board and try to show more obviously through the photos that the bathrooms are clearly shared. We do require a credit card in lieu of taking a cash deposit or card pre-authorization, this is normal practice in hotels. I am sorry that trip.com does not state this in your confirmation however this is also beyond our control so I would recommend contacting trip.com regarding this. I will follow up with my staff regarding your complaint for rudeness, I appreciate your feedback on this. Once again thank you for providing feedback from your stay with us. I hope that you found more enjoyable accommodation while in New Zealand.Kind regards, Samuel - Reception Manager

Very nice hotel with good amenities, in a convenient location too. Has all that you would need from a hotel, including an attached restaurant on the ground floor that provides a discount for those staying. Only slight disappointment is the lack of off-street parking, but parking is free overnight and so it isn’t too much of a problem. Overall, a nice comfy place to stay!
