Portside Hotel Gisborne

We stayed 2 nights was okay but the breakfast wasn't really available reception had run out of certain things to be fair they had awful flooding and was up against it.. it didn't matter we shopped . Suite was nice but living room sofa was old and very tired !! And a dreadful draft coming from sliding patio doors in livingroom bedroom was good overall it was a good stay

My kids and I loved staying at Portside Hotel. There is currently construction going on next door but we didn't hear too much loud noise. We had a two bedroom suite. One with queen bed and another with two king singles. The second beroom wasnt designed to fit two single beds but my teenage kids made the small amount of space in the bedroom work. The bathroom is showing signs of aging. There was a squeaky loose tile. The fan in the bathroom had a lot of dust on it. Could be from the washer and dryer in the bathroom. The fan probably needs to be cleaned more frequently. Enjoyed having washer dryer in room as we stayed 3 nights and multiple trips to the Gisborne pool. Lovely cleaning crew and reception staff. Would definitely book again.

Very thoughtful touches, well presented and organised hotel for an enjoyable stay. Close to beaches, walkways, cafes/restaurants, and has a great pool. We also meet the local owners who were very nice. A great place to stay!

The property was very convenient to the city and the warehouse, noel leemimgs and stationary warehouse was behind the property so very easy to walk to if you like these stores. There was also a walkway along the river, so great for those early morning walks and to Waikanae beach. The only thing that was disappointing was that i had booked 2 rooms and was not able to get adjoining rooms, which may have been inconvenient to neighbors as we had to consistently knock on the others door, day, morning at night when we wanted to visit of drop by with food. Also would of been nice to have a cafe/ restaurant onsite. Other than that it was a nice place to stay.

I had a lovely stay here. Clean and light with all the basic amenities you could need for a few nights on business. The bed was super comfortable and the staff were efficient and friendly. Even the guests I met were great to chat to, and the location is really convenient. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The facility had lovely soap/shampoo/ conditioner in each room, wonderful linen and fresh good quality towels. The room had everything you could need for cooking, ironing or blow drying your hair. The front desk staff were very helpful & professional. Checking in & out was seamless, as long as you were not a late arrival - well done Gizzy team.

The property is in a fabulous location - however in the early hours of the morning (2- 4am) the noise from the adjacent docks is just horrendous. The room's decor is very dated but the beds were comfortable. The bathroom products were excellent. Receptionists were professional and helpful.

Loved the view over the water and the close proximity to Main Street and restaurants. A wee bit noisy at times with ships off loading their cargo at the port late at night. Staff friendly and welcoming. Room very spacious and everything we needed.

Lovely staff, very quiet at night. Handy to cafes.
