Putaruru Hotel

Pleasant receptionist met us on arrival. although I understand the desk is not manned all the time. Comfortable bed with crisp, clean bed linen. Towels neatly folded at the end of the bed, with shampoo and soap. The room was also very clean and obviously repainted. Whilst small and extremely dated, the en suite was tidy and functional. Excellent shower pressure. An electric jug, drink options and mugs were provided in the room. We overlooked a parking area at the back of the hotel so it was very quiet. A small kitchen was located nearby: very humble and battered, but there was a fridge stove crockery, cutlery and glassware.

I slept well because I was tired. The manager took my bags up to my room. The shower was magnificent - great pressure and hot. Sufficient large towels provided. The room was clean and tidy and the window could open for fresh air. The traffic was heavy due to the main road being closed for repairs but became quiet after dark. The chair in the room - beautiful

Great price, helpful management, and friendly locals at the Troff next door.

The manager at the Putaruru Hotel is an excellent host. He is very helpful, he bent over backwards to be helpful and went above and beyond in everything. The property is being renovated currently so he is very busy but he never once did not give his full attention to anything he could do to help if you asked.

The new management sure has made a great impression! The state of the place used to be disgusting and felt unsafe, but now, with new management, you can see and certainly smell a difference. I feel good that the Putaruru Hotel is in good hands moving forward 😊 we were welcomed with a smile, a small tour, and a friendly head of housekeeping who was super helpful. Keep up the great work, team. It is noticed by the public. Well done for having foresight into what this place can look like in the future with a bit of TLC.
