All quite good really, and very helpful staff. Another handle on the wall would be safer for older people to negotiate when the shower is over a bath. Thank you for a pleasant few days.

I felt we were paying for 3 stars but recieving 5. Great restaurant with magnificent ambiance. The room was excellant & although the bathroom could be due for a renovation it was very clean & great hot water pressure. I highly recommend the Pavilion on Northbourne.

Unlikely to return

Television kept trying to connect to Netflix - I don't have Netflix. Staff had to come up to fix it. Handset for phone in room wasn't connected properly, couldn't call Reception about TV. Bathroom terrible, mattress uncomfortable, noisy fridge. Hotel badly needs a refurbishment. I worked there 40 years ago and it feels like it hasn't been updated.
