4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

We stayed here in February 2013 as part of our trip around NZ. We chose this motel based on a poor review and subsequent humorous response from the owner, it turned out to be an excellent choice. The staff were superb, really helpful and friendly, and they were kind enough to upgrade us to a bigger room at no extra... More

We had not planned to stay in Greymouth, but got tired of driving. The room was very nice. The owner and her lovely tap dancing daughter were delightful. The mom made a point of showing me a photo of her paint horse. The room was clean. I heard no noise. We were able to make coffee in the AM and... More

Spouse and self stayed here 2 x nights while touring Marlborough and the West Coast. We had pre-booked at Aachen Place. We found it comfortable, clean, low cost and well managed by the operating lessee. Complaining reviewers should consider the ‘Lessee” aspect here as the buildings are owned by another as landlord. What really grated with me was the crazed... More

We just needed a place overnight after driving the Buller Gorge from Blenheim, and the Aachen Place was very sufficient. Greymouth closes its doors at 1pm on a Saturday and becomes a ghost town apart from the big supermarkets, so we basically drove down to the old jetty where the coastal steamers used to meet the trains back in the...

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. A star rating of 3.5 is a fair comment. We do not advertise ourselves as a 5 star resort and our tariff's reflect this. We do however have many extremely happy guests who comment on the cleanliness, coziness and friendly atmosphere our motel provides. Many of our guests say they... More

The place was very clean, but that's about all I can say. The bed mattress felt 25+ years old, and the whole place looked like it'd been decorated in 1982 with no updates. The shower was made for someone under 4'9".

This is the best place I have stayed in Greymouth. The rooms are older but very clean and there is plenty of room. The complimentary 2 chocolates were a nice touch. There is a separate kitchen. Very warm as well. Nice comfortable bed. We would stay again without hesitation. A 10 minute walk to town or there is a nice... More

A very clean and well designed room. Only stayed one night, but we were very pleased with all aspects of the motel. Lovely couple to welcome us and make sure we had everything we needed. Good recommendations for our short stay for dinner and sight seeing. Would definitely recommend this property.
