Small but adequate room. The restaurant really let this place down. Food was awful - tasteless and expensive for what it was. The main course took ages to come and the veges while nicely presented were undercooked and the lamb unseasoned. Weirdly, we couldn't pay for it that night as no staff could take the money, however at 0530 am the staff could. It was convenient to where we were going.

I am a researcher, so the property is very convenient to the research centres that I have to use: Alexander Turnbull; The National Archives and the Parliamentary Library. The reception staff were efficient and personable. They upgraded my room to one better suited to my needs: I am a single traveller and they moved me from a double bed unit (ordered online) to a single bedroom. They carefully explained the "Going Green" option, (which I did). The room was spacious with nice vistas of the streets and green belt. the facilities were excellent: Writing desk, iron and iron board, wardrobe, spacious shower and toilet. I went for the green option (3 nights), so cannot comment on the cleaning of the room. I do wish , however, that the coffee machine came with instructions, but I worked it out after two attempts. The wifi is excellent, which is essential for my purposes. I did eat in and the restaurant staff were always accomodating, and the food was more than acceptable. There is a supermarket nearby should you want to prepare your own food. Overall, my stay at Atura was an excellent experience. I will be staying with them again.

My daughter and I had a fantastic stay at Atura. I would like to mention Louisa in particular who went out of her way to provide a space for my daughter to have a zoom call for her work. Thank you so much for going above and beyond, we appreciate this greatly. Also the friendly reception staff for whom nothing was too much trouble, I highly recommend this hotel. Thank you.

Staff were pleasant and accomodating. Hotel rooms need a serious revamp though. Small poorly lit room. No lace curtains under the drapes for basic privacy from the multiple neighbouring houses so had to keep curtains drawn all day with lights on. The worst bathroom Iā€™ve come across in a hotel before. The bathroom of the classic room we got was exactly what youā€™d expect of an old hospital bathroom, only a hospital bathroom floor appears cleaner.

Stayed 2nights for a sports tournament. Just what we needed for a rest in the evenings. New World close by too for essentials. Parking our ute was our main reason for selecting Atura which was great. We opted for the eco (no-housekeeping) in return for the $10 credit which we used for coffees upon checkout. Overall very happy.
