Book Independent St Leonards accommodation from NZ$107

The hotel itself was lovely, modern and comfortable, and the rest of the stay was good. The only disappointing part was the smell in reception and on the first floor. There is a black labrador that appears to live around the reception area and roam through parts of the hotel. I love dogs, so I understand the appeal, but for a chain hotel and business setting, it was surprising. The smell was quite strong and made check-in less pleasant than expected. My wife is also allergic to dogs, so it put a bit of a dampener on the stay. The hotel is otherwise very nice, but I think pets should be kept out of public hotel areas where guests are checking in and moving through shared spaces.

Good location, safe

Clean, welcoming, comfortable, easy dining options, neat grounds and amenities. Would Stay Here Again !

Nice clean and tidy property, well equipped rooms with plenty of space, great breakfast.

I booked through a third party, so I missed the information about arrival times. Fortunately, another member of the tour I was on was staying there and knew where to look for access keys. Thank goodness for the staff who left me a key despite my mistake. It was my first pod experience. All the usual hostel experience, but with your own bed space. The location is great and makes it easy to walk around the area.

Good parking
