Bed we’re Comfortable and room had good heating.
Room needs so work done to it. Especially bathroom no heater or fan. Had hole in wall by bath must of been flooded at some stage.
Bath needed cleaning before kids could use. Hair and dead ants in there.
Also tray for utensils has heaps of crumbs in.
I think some room like in photos have be done up but not this room.
Also having pool right outside room not ideal for my child like to play in water also is kids were in supervised could get chair and climb right in.

Very outdated room. Desperately needs new carpet and lounge. Mould on curtains. No dvd player or access to Netflix. Dirty old pot scourer to use.
Photos on line are deceiving.
We only stayed 2 nights before an early flight home, so we weren’t there much and did not look forward to coming back to the apartment after being out.
Price did not match what we got

Good location and spacious room! We had two levels with a bedroom on the lower level and additional beds upstairs in a loft style set up. Overall clean, but a little dusty in certain zones. Kitchen had all the basics for breakfast & light food preparation. Dishwashing supplies were provided, which was handy. Overall, happy with the stay but facilities felt a bit outdated, especially the bathroom and shower.

At Camelot Motel you are transferred to another time .... The bustling city on the street outside seems a million miles away...

The parking around the back units is very tight and not enough spaces overnight, we had to park on the road 2 out of our 3 nights. During the day, the cleaning crew were loud and unprofessional. Laying down in their cars right outside our unit, on their phones watching loud reels sitting right outside out unit, communicating by yelling at eachother - it was not peaceful during the times we were there during the day.

Comfortable stay near Hagley Park

Great value, did the job.

Quiet, warm and comfortable with everything we needed. Quirky vibe. Bathroom needed a do-up: toilet lid wouldn't stay up as the cistern was in the way. Shower had good pressure but needed a better clean.
Nice clean linen. Great having a wee kitchen of our own. Good parking.

Despite the wall heater not working the unit was warm and quiet and although dated exceeded our expectations.
Criticisms, the shower tray was not level and did not drain completely, bathroom floor slippery when wet, bed was ok but a duvet would be nicer than blankets and a foam topper pad more comfortable. Fix the heater.

The room was great. It was cold on arrival and did not heat up very well during the night. We used the small extra fan heater which worked but only in it's immediate vicinity. If it was warmer, i would have rated comfort a 5.

Good service upon check in, very spacious unit.
Unit smelled mouldy, there were rips in the carpet, dripping taps, evidence of water egress into the unit. Shower had very low pressure, only ventilation in bathroom was a window that when opened gave access physically and visually to any other guests walking past.
Definitely NOT a 4 star motel.

The motel room we stayed in was upstairs. It was really nice to arrive to the heater turned on. It was clean and tidy. The parking for a bigger/ longer vechile is a bit problematic, you may have to park on the road but it is a great location so close to town. The black mold in the bathroom that has been painted over is not ideal. It would be nice to see an extractor fan / heater put in the bathroom although the windows can be fully opened.

Also guests arriving late at night or walking past room upstairs / sound is a bit loud during sleeping hours. But at the end of the day for value for money it is a good place to stay.

There was a distinct lack of mirrors. Apart from the bathroom there was only one small mirror in the kitchen area hung so hi we couldn't look into it. Not ideal when there are 4 people trying to get ready for a function. Not a huge issue but also an easy fix. Also the property is definitely showing its age. But it is still a place I would stay at again. Great location.

Terrible Bed


\"cute\" there's no doubt but.. so outdated, and the bed was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in, and I do travel a lot.
So incredibly soft and old. Worse sleep ever

Comfortable stay in a cosy and friendly motel

Had a comfortable 3 night stay here. Room was spacious. Friendly reception helped us out when we accidentally put something important in the bin. Location close to a range of eating venues and Hagley Park. We walked from here into the city centre and botanic gardens. Room very clean. Would stay here again.
