Reviews of Hotel Give
Deborah Collins
This is a lower proce Hotel so don't go expecting 5 Star. How ever saying that for the price I cant fault it. Rooms are tidy and clean and well serviced, beds are comfortable and staff friendly and helpful. Location is excellent. Highly recommend and will be staying here again

Had a short but pleasant stay at Hotel Give before departing to the airport. Alice receptionist was excellent! It was very easy to deal with her and she was also very helpful with our requests. The room itself was clean and I slept well.
Natasha Ambani
Opposite the botanic gardens, art centre, lumieres cinema and cellar bar. Short walk to cathedral. Parking on site (paid) and street (paid during office hours). Easy drive from airport. Friendly, helpful staff. Restaurant / cafe on site. Beautiful comfortable rooms and great shower. Breakfast selection available for set cost but with no hot items probably not worth cost. Otherwise highly recommend...

Alice on front desk was super fun and bubbly when we arrived. I wasn't expecting much after booking the cheapest accommodations but wanted to support the work hotel give does. We had a room with 3 beds for 3 people the mattresses were great. The bathroom outside of our room was not a problem as just outside our door :)
Ariane Lee
Not aware that toilet & shower is not within the room, though just outside of room; shower can be quite a challenge if left room without the key. Doors are not sound proof, was often woken up by housekeeper who was cleaning the toilets, & also other guests who chat outside.. Excellent service by all front desk staff, they have all answers to any questions.. 👍🏻 Location is very convenient to Ri...
