It was close to the township.
It was very noisey untill midnight, our window wouldn’t close. It was quite pricey for what we had. Not very big rooms.

Right in town
Wifi not working properly, no cups for an early morning coffee ,no soap in dispenser, missing lightbulb; lack of sugar,milk, rubbish still full when we left, no remote for tv, and they charged us an extra 50 dollars in case we damaged anything,lucky I thought of doing a video before we moved in, and I’m still waiting for my 50 dollars to come back to me

Location was perfect for exploring Raglan town. It was cool being in a historic hotel.
It was as advertised as expected = it's a historic hotel with shared bathroom facilities- there is always some level of inconvenience when the bathroom is outside the room but the hotel was quiet and we felt we had the facilities to ourself despite their being other there.

The location itself is perfect. Right on Main Street.
Call it a backpackers and it would have been fine. And we wouldn’t have booked.
The first thing we got told is to mind the noise and to respect other guests. Which I was happy with because we’re traveling with two kids so I was hopeful we would be able to get a good night rest… but unfortunately it wasn’t a silent night at all. It’s very noisy which makes sense above a bar, but definitely don’t stay here with kids.
Other than that it was very very messy and dirty. The communal area looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for weeks. There was no toiletpapier, and the toilet itself and shower were so dirty our kids rather went at a public toilet.
The other thing was the messy check in. With unfriendly staff and chaos all over. This might be because they try to combine running the bar and the reception at the same time. But it wasn’t a nice experience after a long long drive for us. We were looking forward coming back to Raglan but this wasn’t up to standard at all.
We decided to check out after one night and stay somewhere else. There was no refund but at least we got a good nights sleep and a clean stay.

Great location, friendly staff, lively venue
I hadn’t noticed the shared bathroom facilities, however they were clean & lots of towels provided - it wasn’t an inconvenience

only one restroom for ladies at second floor...

Staff were great in understanding our needs via room service, restaurant and bar foods
Because it was a busy weekend the room was the smallest of the family rooms and trying to navigate the hot nights without options for fans of some kind would definitely help. And figuring out how to come and go from back carpark access proved difficult as some nights the gate would be closed. So for me those couple of things are probably rectifiable with clearer instructions. We stay at a pub upstairs it's pretty cool really

We stayed in the off-site unit which was perfect for an overnight stay. A close walk to town and comfortable for 5 people.
No check in/check out instructions or guest book. Would be helpful for future guests.

This place is an original building. High ceilings, long hallways, and a pub downstairs. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. Fish and chips were thee best I’ve had yet. 1kg pot of mussels were to die for. Eating on the balcony looking over the CBD hits different. Went down to the bar for a cocktail and beers, then straight to bed. Great start to my holiday.
I actually liked everything.

Friendly, accommodating Staff. Nice room. Hotel in excellent position of Town. Great bathroom, Toilet facilities.
Noisy drunk guests early hours of the morning.
The food. I ordered a Spicy Prawn and Seafood Chowder dishes. Disappointed both dishes were bland which I did not finish because of this. The Sticky Toffee Pudding was tasty.

The team at the harbour view hotel are so great! They looked after us well. We had a really fun night listening to live music in the pub and then the room was a perfect comfortable spot to come back to.
Nothing! We had a great stay. I would be aware that if you don't want to listen to music they do have live bands on a Friday night so you might want to pick a quieter venue if that bothers you!

Did not have meals there, left early for regatta before hotel opened. The location was close to the venue we were going to and was the only accommodation available when we booked
Understanding it is a hotel the bar noise seemed to go on for a long time, so noisy

Mike was super nice and friendly, the bar downstairs was fun and the location was great!
First time not having a private bathroom and probably the one thing stopping us from rebooking here

The hotel is full of charme - very old, very beautiful, with a nice bar and restaurant.
The shower and toilets are in the corridor and the room was small, but for us it was perfect and it is reflected in the very reasonable price.

Be warned, this is not a hotel. I honestly felt like I had been scammed when I arrived at the Harbourview Hotel. First off - the establishment doesn't even come close to a motel, let alone a hotel. There are no ensuites, your room is directly above the bar and there was literally nothing in the room except a bed and a sink. With the sink in the corner, it was honestly more comparable to a prison cell. Our second mistake (number 1 being booking the HarbourView Hotel in first place) was staying on a Saturday night. It was 4pm and the bar was already pumping downstairs. This was enough to foreshadow the sleepless night ahead. We were probably better off sleeping in the toilet as it was quieter down that end than it was in our own room. Along with this, the room didn't feel private at all, with people constantly walking right outside our window and along the balcony. Overall, we were unhappy with the price we paid versus what we got - which was far from a hotel room. To top it all off - you couldn't even see the harbour.

The location was great - in the middle of town next to a supermarket able to walk to any cafe sights - great to sit on the upperbalcony and watch the worldgoby.
Best rooms were booked out had to accept a lesser standard room but it was my choice - potential guests should be aware that the accommodation is more like basic back packers - walk down hallway to toilet shower lounge and tea making facilities.

The accommodation was clean and tidy and tastefully decorated. They loved the water pressure in the shower and the comfortable beds. Great location that was tranquil with natural surroundings. The staff had a professional warm and friendly manner and were hard working throughout the evening. Great having a courtesy van available. Thank you for having us.
Nothing that we didn’t like.
