Castex accommodation from NZ$93

Good location, rooms comfortable, breakfast options limited

It was a typical IBIS. Simple clean. No frils. Location better than expected and a good pool. Air conditioning was not orki g. But balcony doir opened to give ventilation.

Booked for 3 nights. Left after 2 as soon as we could get booked in elsewhere. I understand it’s “budget” but the rooms are more like prison sells. The bathroom was filthy, mould all around the edges, brown splats up the door. Door was falling apart at the bottom. It was 25° when we stayed and the aircon wasn’t working. It was unbearable in the room. We kept trying to catch someone on reception and every time we went down no one was around. If you are booking a family room with bunk bed, be prepared you will need to set this up and put the sheets on. The only thing that I would say was a good point was that the car park was secure. The town has very little in it, so it’s all fast food outlets.
