Hotel reviews
TravellerTravellernice hotel right near town center and waterfront
TravellerAn excellent property in the heart of Russell.
TravellerExcellent location. Functional, lovely room. Friendly and helpful staff.
TravellerThis property is perfectly placed in the heart of the Russell waterfront however once you stepped into the property it was quiet and serene. You would not have known you were right next to busy restaurants aa there was no noise at all. Very close to the wharf, with many restaurants and conveniences within easy walking distance. While some of the decor is a little dated, it has been very well maintained and you can see the owners have continued to upgrade parts of the property. The room was very pleasant to stay in. The service was excellent, they were able to accommodate a slightly early check in, which was very much appreciated, so that we could leave our car parked at the property while we enjoyed a tour to the hole in the rock. We would not hesitate to stay here again!
TravellerAbsolutely fantastic place! You will not find anything better than this. We spent our honeymoon here and it’s one of the most romantic places you’ll find!
TravellerReally close to everything and what we needed
TravellerGreat room and location, faultless and service impeccable
TravellerGreat position, incredible and helpful staff
TravellerGreat position.Able to walk to all restaurants, etc. Just a few steps away from the Paihia ferry jetty.
TravellerSuper friendly and knowledgeable staff. Extra features like free bikes and kayak usage
TravellerWe had a great stay here at the Commodores Lodge. We had a wedding to go to next door at the Duke of Marlborough. It was a perfect spot to have a swim on an extremely hot day. We loved that we could take the Kyacks and bikes without having to ask. The accom interior was pleasant, a bit dated but not bad considering the location and proximity to everything. Would stay again.
TravellerProperty was nice & clean, location was right on the water & central to everything. Property could do with a change of mattresses as they were very sold & hard to sleep on.
TravellerSo close to all amenities, straight on the ferry to Paihia if we wanted to go
TravellerAmazing with friendly staff
TravellerThis is the perfect place to stay in Russel and Sue and Hamid are the best hosts
TravellerVery friendly staff close to beach spacious no air conditioning so bit hot
TravellerLovely family atmosphere, good sized suite
TravellerNice spot loved the room right next to the pool.the owners sue and hameed were very friendly.
TravellerMemorable experience, will be back
An amazing stay, loved the town, loved the accommodation and the service and had a memorable time. We drove around the North Island and stayed in a number of very reputable chains and hotels but the experience at Commodores Lodge was genuinely superior. units were large enough to accommodate us (family of 4), clean and very well maintained. location is certainly best you get in Russell. the pool was nice and convenient specially for our children, they absolutely loved it. Finally a big thank you to hosts Sue and Hamid for their smiling and welcoming faces and looking after us during our stay.
