MARIA LOURDES
In terms of value for money at $175 per night compared to other studio motels we've stayed before at this price range, it's overpriced given its location (doesn't seem safe) and the poor quality of the room (doesn't smell nice and clean, it's dark, cheap curtain, and the floor area is too small for a studio).

Your city base.
Excellent location right amongst the shops. Situated far away enough from the square to be sheltered from the noise of circling cars with loud exhausts so, quiet in the evening. Cheap, well located and great to use as a base while you work or explore the city.

I liked that it was close to town and all the venues especially the venue that we wanted to be close too also the restaurant s

Walking distance into town. Poor lighting. Soft bed.
Verified traveler
The motel was in perfect location towards walking distance to shops etc, lots of parking for our car, quiet rooms even being on the main street. Great service, was taken to our room, and the heater was put on for us. Thank-you we had a great stay.

The staff were very friendly end helpful. The room was clean but I froze all night as heater not adequate and ensuite was of poor design.

So-so but central location
I didn’t have any towels my first night - thankfully some appeared in my room the second day. Heater didn’t feel like it did much so just aswell the bed had an electric blanket.

Our stay at Palmerston North
Palmerston North is an attractive town, well kept and easy to get around. There is a beautiful park on the banks of the river which presents excellent walks through a forest environment. The town has good shopping and banking facilities, and while we were there, a multicultural fair was held which was most interesting and enjoyable.
Tracy
Great updated Motel. Friendly staff. Good WIFI. Near the college.
Verified traveler
Central location within walking distance to most places in the city, didn't like coming home from speedway and not having anywhere to park in the facility due to several visitors to the motel taking up patrons car parks, they should be made to park out on the street, this should be policed by the motel.
Verified traveler
It is a very good accommodation, near to the Square and convenient.

No air conditioning in rooms so very hot and stuffy. Cleaning staff were rude to me when I declined to have our room serviced because we wanted to sleep in.

Bring Consumables!
First thing they said was bypass Expedia when booking to save money next time.
First appearances.
Everything seemed bare minimum and rationed. Catering for two occupants it had 4 tea bags, 4 coffee sachets, 1 tea towel, 30mls of milk, 30mls of dish detergent, no cake of soap or complimentary shampoo or bath foam for the Spa bath. After a long day of travelling we were keen for a bath and contemplated going back out for previsions like shampoo and extra tea & milk.
Cleaning agents were provided as wall mounted foam soap in the shower and above the hand basin which was missing a plug by the way, so we squirted some shower soap into a saucer for bathing.
We are not experienced travelers, this was a Special occasion overnight stay. Maybe this is the norm, we just wanted to be pampered and not worry about bringing everything from home. Breakfast was Continental only, so didn't bother paying extra for that, guess we should've brought our Honey Puffs as well?.

Nice clean and tidy unit. Would probably stay again because was very close to good eateries. Could do with a revamp and found the bathroom very pokey. Also quite noisy on the downstairs units so maybe next time I would book upstairs

Handy to town.
Stayed just one night to catch up with family. Roast meal shop across the road, excellent. Warm, clean and just what we needed for one night

Location is very handy.
It was a bit noisy with the neighbours coming back to their room late and knocking over plants outside our door.

We booked our stay at Kiwi Motel quite late but were pleasantly surprised when we arrived that it was in the perfect location for Massey Graduation. Staff were very obliging, room was lovely and tidy and we loved the off street parking.

Found the room had a strange odour and my husband coughed and sneezed all night.
Verified traveler
We stayed here for daughters graduation. Perfect location - 30 sec walk to Joes Garage for brekky. Easy access off Main Street and parking right outside unit. Comfortable beds (electric blanket bonus!). Portacot provided for toddler with flannellette sheets made for a cosy stay. Good size shower with excellent pressure (very important!). Decent wifi. TV was a bit streaky and is probably due an upgrade. Lovely and warm. As my husband would say “cheap and cheerful” - meant in the most positive way.

Tinopai!
We were allowed an early check in and a late check out free of charge which was great as I was travelling with my 1 year old and we had a late flight home. We had some issues with the cleaner not vacuuming our room but that was the only thing I could fault. They were very accommodating, allowed us to use their high chair for my baby and the price was affordable. Nice shower pressure and 2 out of the 3 beds were comfortable. I would suggest having an extractor fan above the stove top and perhaps a bigger bathroom basin but not too worried about those things :)
Ylva
Great value in the middle of Palmerston North.
I would recommend Kiwi Suites to anyone wanting acommodation with a central location. Lots of parking. Friendly and helpful staff. Joe's Garage around the corner for breakfast. Quiet and comfortable.
Verified traveler
Was very happy with the stay and had everything I needed with a short distance to shops. It was appreciated that I could leave my rental car there for several hours past my check out time while I waited for my flight out.
My only (small) concern was that there was a limited number of channels available on sky/freeview.
Overall, the staff were great, the rooms very tidy and clean, warm rooms, quiet motel, and short distance for any shopping or food outlets.

Nice motel close to shops, cafes and restaurants
Clean, quiet motel with friendly staff, we had hot plate that wasn't very hot and was immediately offered another room. Clean towels every day, comfy bed. Would definitely recommend.
Kate
Great location, very tidy
A very reasonably priced hotel in a convenient location in the central city. Great value for money! I am heading to Tongariro National Park and chose this accomodation as it is walking distance to the Intercity Bus depot. Very friendly staff and immaculate room. A warm and sincere note on table says “Come in as guest - Stay as family - Leave as friends” and thanks the guest for choosing this hotel. In terms of sustainability, I like that there is hair and body wash in a dispenser rather than lots of packaged products. So overall, for a quick stay after an evening flight and early departure, I have been very comfortable and would recommend to others.

Andrew
Quiet, yet in the middle of town
We picked this motel because of its location. It is a short stroll to the Square and therefore not far to go for supermarket, general shopping, and food outlets.
The lower rating on the room comfort solely reflects the beds, which need updating soon. The king bed had a degree of \"roll-together\", and when one of us swapped to the single bed we found that the dip in the middle exacerbated hip pain.
All other aspects of our two night stay were more than satisfactory.

I had no great expectations of the Kiwi Studios Motel in Palmerston North when I booked ... I thought it would be just another run of the mill motel.
I was pleasantly surprised. I arrived to find the room immaculately clean and fresh, brilliant wifi connection, very pleasant staff who were eager to help. A really comfortable room you can actually move about in.
