Dirty laundry left on ground from previous guest, holes in the walls, crumbs on the floor, stickers and markings on ceilings. Felt more like a unkept hostel; I expected more. Will not choose to stay in the future.

This is probably one of the worst hotels with a high star rating. It is dirty, very old, smells like urine and I’ve never stayed in old bedding before. It was unbelievably bad and a true ‘con’.. Do not stay here

You made a reservation for one person to obtain a discounted rate, yet two people occupied the room. Please ensure honesty in your dealings. Your feedback appears to be dishonest as well.

The location was amazing! Within a couple blocks you have the harbor or the beachfront; a few blocks down is a lovely park, lots of restaurants and shopping. Mt Maunganui hot pools and the mountain itself are right on your doorstep. Our room was large, great balcony, bathroom, and kitchen. I found that the front desk is not always manned, which is sometimes inconvenient. The drain in the shower was also a bit slow.

Really nice stay, nice big apartment. Easy checkin, great location for walking to beach, down to food spots or into town. Few things that could make it better - towels are worn and not fluffy, could do with a upgrade, curtains were light and not blockout so street lights and lights from other buildings made it harder to sleep.

Really disappointed by the condition of the room. The most frustrating part was the tv wasn’t working so no SkyTV to watch sport etc which we wanted on this rainy weekend. When we left they didn’t want to know and just said the manager is away on holiday so nothing can be done.
Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024
Response from Oceanside Team on 13 Apr 2024
Thank you for your feedback. Our staff did try their best to rectify the issue with the TV and it turns out that the issue was due to an external upgrade that we weren't aware of. We sincerely apologise for this. We hope to have you stay again so you can completely enjoy your time with us.

You get what you pay for, the rooms are basic but tidy and the beds ok, however, you are told that if you put your luggage or sit on the spare bed you'll be charged for an additional person, It just left a sour taste due to their dictatorial instructions.

Thanks for your feedback. It is unfortunate that the design of the car park did not cater for the size of cars increasing in the future, but we do have an alternative if the allocated space is just too small. Hope to see you another time.

Accommodation was okay. Bed was super soft and overused. If you need any after hours help forget about it you can’t reach anyone AND there is no manager onsite so any night issues forget about it. Seems like a bit of a party place for young people. Rooms are not soundproof. There is no Car parks are tiny. Convenient location, nice cleaning lady

Thanks for expressing your opinions. Some feedback might not accurately depict the situation. We adhere to the city council's standard parking permit, and our on-site overnight manager is available 24/7 for assistance outside regular hours. Additionally, we have prominently displayed the emergency contact number on our main entrance door. Please provide accurate feedback in the future.oceanside resort team

The location was great right next to Mt. Maunganui, the beach and a short walk from the main street. The room was very large and was clean, however it was dated and the bed was like sleeping on an air mattress. It was so soft and bouncy, you could feel anytime the other person moved even the slightest amount. Overall the stay was fine for one night. It served it's purpose.

The room is in decent condition. You may be making excuses because the truth is, you booked the room for two nights, but for some reason, you couldn't stay with us on the first night. You asked for a refund for the first night, and we declined because we held the room for you. That's the reason you're providing us with a negative review. Thanks
