The Royal Hotel

We stayed for two nights. Cosy room, with everything we could have needed. The decor throughout the building was lovely. The food from the kitchen was outstanding, we tried the breakfast and dinner menus - great quality food - yum! Special call out to Debs in the bar/restaurant waiting team, thank you for the wonderful service and your cheerful manner - you were the highlight of our stay :)

Nicely appointed room. Beautiful building.Perfect for our overnighted.

Loved the quirky themeing.  Staff were excellent.  Small but adequate room.

I loved the thematic decor of the piriraku room, so quaint, finished to a high standard, beautiful architectural features with the modern conveniences.I stayed in the hotel on my own (no reception overnight and no other guests). I did have a contact number (should I need it) and I certainly did not feel unsafe, it just wasn't what I had expected or experienced before. However, I would definitely recommend and stay again.

We enjoyed a fabulous birthday weekend in the Wairapara - the refurbished Royal Hotel was the perfect place to base ourselves for two nights. It was quirky, cosy and welcoming - we loved the decor, the sense of history and the good range of dining options. The only disappointment was that we did not meet the famous dogs - maybe next year.

Amazing place to stay in somewhat unexpected spot.great rooms.food was superb.a great overnight stay.consider this after day in martinborough

Absolutly beautiful from the rooms to the bar and food. Highly recommend

The New Zealand steam punk theme was very cool. Parking is a bit restricted and the restaurant/bar is very good but very busy (which is a symptom of the good thing). So make sure you book a table very early.

It was like stepping back in time the decor was amazing. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The neals we had in the restaurant were fantastic

The renovated rooms in this hotel are super lux and have a bit of a steampunk vibe to them, with dark jewel tones, many clocks, and copper piping in the spacious bathroom. TV, fridge, claw foot bathtub, options for heating and a fan for cooling, and a sumptuous velvet duvet made the overnight stay super relaxing. Had a three course meal at Brac and Bow downstairs that did not disappoint. Staying here was a treat.

Steampunk Chic

We will definitely be back and planning to return with friends. The only low point was a very busy restaurant so food took a while one evening- however it was good food!!! And advise not to try for an early night if there’s s wedding at the venue! Felt like the band was in the room- however- it was good music!!!!

Will be back!

Treat yourself !

The decor which was quirky, beautifully done, comfortable and charming. Our room and ensuite was incredibly clean, something which was really appreciated. Great food at the restaurant Brac and Bow, where we enjoyed one of the best meals we've eaten in a long time.Only quibble was the lack of human interaction when checking in and checking out. But that's just a personal preference. Lovely establishment and I'd can't wait go to back for another visit.

Beautifully restored hotel, both in the downstairs bar area as well as the rooms. We booked very last minute and think got the last room which was pretty small. That said it was beautifully appointed, clean and comfy and was perfect for retiring too after dinner downstairs. Shared bathrooms were always clean and again, beautifully restored.

Such a cool design and decor throughout the building! We stayed in the double with a shared bathroom, it was small but was perfect as we were just staying the night post a wedding in Martinborough. Comfy bed and great shower!We were very grateful we were able to check in early and get ready as we had driven down from Auckland.

Awesome little hotel, that has been done up to reflect an oldie worldie vibe with a touch of steam punk thrown in. What’s that ? Well a nod to the era that on paper invented fantastical machines. Time machines, flying machines. A look to the possible future from the past.Delightful and clean as a whistle and fun.Great location for wineries, rail trips to Wellington and the bike trail over the Rimutukas.

The Royal Hotel is a historic hotel that has been fabulously renovated. The whole building is a treat to be in, with a fun steampunk theme. The rooms, bathrooms, bar & restaurant are all furnished very beautifully which was a joy to experience.Our room was No. 2 and was with a shared bathroom. The bed was very comfortable with gorgeous sheets and the shared bathroom was really lovely. One thing to note is that the room we booked was VERY SMALL. As in absolutely tiny- room for the bed, one bedside table and a fan. We were riding the Remutaka Rail Trail and had a bit of gear with us & it was quite a squeeze.The other thing to note is as a historic hotel, they don’t have air conditioning and it was very hot. A fan was provided for this.On our our way out the next day, we had a peek into the other rooms and it looks like the rooms with their own bathrooms were much larger and included kitchen facilities. I would recommend paying that bit extra for the larger room. The staff here are absolutely lovely and we had a wonderful stay. I would love to go back and stay in the larger rooms because it’s a very unique and special place!
