I was comfortable in my room at the Pathfinder. As I wanted to stay in Kew, I found it good value. Plenty of parking. The decor is old but the room was clean airy and light with a/c. The breakfast was fine. My window faced north which I enjoyed for some winter warmth, and it was nice to open to... More

Don't expect a warm welcome here. The lady on reception who I suspect is the owner was impolite, unfriendly and unhelpful in her manner and response to my questions.. Rooms need new decor to make it worth the price. Can be nosy with traffic on the 2 busy adjoining roads.

First impression wasnt great. On a very busy street corner and the receptionist spoke little English & no friendly greeting. Reasonable sized motel block. Had 2 rooms, next to each other. Very dark, old & very dated. Beds were OK, not alot of cupboard space and very small bathroom in which you are unable to close the bathroom window. Noisy... More

We stayed in a family room which was fairly spacious. The breakfast was quite good, but the friendly service is especially memorable. Spacious carpark also.

The general impressiom we got of this establishment is that it has seen its best days. It is situated at the corner of 2 busy roads in Kew, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Our room was No. 5, a standard queen room with sofa bed. Car parking is not allocated to rooms by number, and only 4... More

The family room was booked through the internet for a very reasonable price. The room itself had a double bed in the main living area, with a partition separating two single beds, so not a lot of privacy, but fine for our needs. Kitchen area was fine with the usual crockery/cutlery and cooking utensils you expect in a motel. Bathroom... More

In fairness, I thought I should update my previous review of this motel. I stayed there in early April 2007 and to my delight, the service had greatly improved. I learned that there were new owners and they were obviously trying very hard to act like a proper motel. The mini-bar was checked and replenished daily and there was always... More
