I had the compact double room booked for me for work for 2 nights because our other 2 preferred places to our location were booked up. The room was TINY, as in claustrophobic, in size, and faced the busy car park and reception on the ground floor, I am a light sleeper so sleep was minimal. For this reason I would not stay here again, as the price was also quite high for what we got. Location is go...

The reception staff were friendly and check-in was smooth. The room itself was clean and comfortable, and everything seemed fine at first. Unfortunately, the experience quickly went downhill. A group of inconsiderate guests spent the night walking through the hallways, talking loudly, and slamming doors from 10 pm until nearly 6 am. On top of that, they were using the shared kitchen at 10:30 pm, w...

Fantastic location in the heart of the city, staff are super friendly and helpful. The rooms are very tiny and the beds are ridiculously small, we had twin beds and they were SO narrow! I would not stay here again because of this. The place seemed very clean but the bathroom had a really bad smell, not sure whether from the drains or the heater. For what it was I thought it was too expensive too.

We stayed at Southwark Hotel and Apartments in one of their newly renovated rooms, and it was absolutely spot on. The space was modern, well-designed, and had everything you could possibly need — no clutter, just smart, clean comfort.

Stayed in the business double room with family for a night at the start of our NZ tour. Hotel is located close to the airport and was easy to find. Parking spot is available but needs to be reserved early. Many shops and restaurants at walkable distance. Beds were comfy and big. Quiet neighborhood so we all had good sleep after our long travel. Room had an attached kitchenette which was helpful.
