Top New Zealand Rugby Museum Hotel Reviews

BKs Premier Motel Palmerston North

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for an Archery Tournament, cuz my previous place fell thru. And luckily they still had a room! Staff were super friendly and helpful. And my room was quiet and just what I needed to do the Tournament. Will definitely stay here again!"

Aspree Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Good location, tidy. Helpful staff."

Copthorne Hotel Palmerston North

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great stay and such a lovely place to be in! It was very clean and tidy, and the staff were very kind. Parking was also so great and everything very easy to find within the venue. It is also the perfect location, across the road from the supermarket and only a few blocks away from the main shopping centres. Super great place and would recommend!!"

Bentleys Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"Great accommodation, location, staff and loved the spa bath. Only thing I didn’t enjoy was being able to hear the snoring from the room next door through the night and their conversations the next morning. Glad I packed my earplugs. I would stay there again but if they are not fully booked, I will ask for a room with no neighbours."
