Bavaria Boutique Hotel

“Great place to relax after a very long flight”

We enjoyed our short stay here. The inn is very nice, with comfortable rooms, a good location close to restaurants and grocery, and not a bad drive to the zoo.

“Homely and Spotless”

So handy for Eden Park, ten minute walk. The Bavaria Bed and Breakfast was immaculate. Extremely friendly Managers, who accomodate your wishes without the least amount of trouble. This is a very homely place for a Bed and Breakfast, it was spotless!

“Good for sleeping but forget the breakfast.”

The location and house is nice. Big room and great wifi. But forget about the breakfast. It’s basic if you can call it that at all. All travelers from Europe be warned, lower your expectations! I expected with the name of the hotel comes some european breakfast, but I was very wrong. Powder coffee … more

I expected with the name of the hotel comes some european breakfast, but I was very wrong. Powder coffee and cereals… Ah, and don’t expect privacy too much. Cameras in hallway and breakfast area.

I like to give supportive reviews, and realise that value in city accommodation may not match that elsewhere in NZ, but I have to be honest to our experience and this was disappointing, even rather depressing. It seems there are new owners so previous Tripadvisor reviews before this year are inapplicable. After a confusing email exchange we were given a key code number to enter the building (avoid getting locked out!) and on departure left the key in the room so we never met the new owner/manager though they do come to clean during the day. However one of the rooms is occupied by a young man whom they called night manager and would be available in case of a major issue. There is a large lounge and balcony which is pleasant, whereas our bedroom was small, with basic furniture and a tiny bathroom. Perhaps there are better rooms in the Bavaria overall (it has 11). Breakfast felt a bit like a student share house (help yourself to the jam in the frig). This might suit some people as long as you knew what you were getting. The actual location in Mount Eden is excellent - charming streets, close enough to a range of restaurants and a supermarket, and inexpensive Uber fare to the city if you want to leave your car in the perfectly adequate parking area. But the sign at the front of the Bavaria "boutique hotel 5 stars" suggests three delusions together. So not the high point of our travels.
