I stayed for 6 Days at Astra Lodge. Booking & payment was easy. The Unit I booked had a full kitchenette with basic but satisfactory utensils, equipment, microwave & fridge. The shower was large with great water pressure. Comfortable large bed. Air con. Couch, table & chairs when I had visitors. Close to shops, takeaways, supermarkets, Hospital. The Unit was clean & tidy. House keeping staff were friendly & efficient. Ironing board, iron & hangers. I was super impressed that they provided a laundry room with free washing machine & powder. Clothes dryer was only $3. Life saver :) Parking on-site was easy & safe.

Having to come to Hamilton for 12 days i chose to stay at the Astra.Brian and his wife run a very nice place.My 4 plus star unit with a huge bed and very large shower was delightful (#10) and was very well maintained and everything was as it should be plus very clean.There are cooking facilities and a nice size under bench fridge for those goodies u want to keep cool.If i wanted anything nothing was a bother. Its very close to (5 minute walk approx) the Braemar and Waikato Hospitals and the big name supermarkets are within 3 kms.Several smaller dairy type shops are within 500 metres.Because of covid-19 not a lot was open but i did manage to get pizza one night.WIFI is available 24/7 plus Sky of 50 channels (something for everyone) which took the boredom away of not being able to go far ........ i definitely will be staying there next time i am through

We stayed for three nights as we wanted to see some of the sights in and around Hamilton, we also wanted access to the onsite laundry. The room was spacious and well equipped, overall it met our needs but to be honest it was not an exiting stay and we had a pretty dull view of the car parking area. The signage for the motel was not illuminated and this was a problem when returning in the dark, we drove passed on more than one occasion.

This was the most expensive motel we stayed in on our holiday and the worst. We had a one bedroom and a single in the lounge both comfortable. The roller blind in the bedroom did not fit right over the window so bright light from outside came in both sides and there was no curtain on the back door and as it shone straight into the kitchen lounge area the single bed space was very light. The kitchen was very small and all cups etc on a high shelf we had difficulty reaching. The microwave was above the sink at face height so often banged our head as we tried to do dishes. The bathroom shower was great but bathroom extremely small and no where to put anything, toilet shower vanity all in together which is fine but you had to shut the door to even open the shower or get to the toilet was very squashed. Also long black hair on the floor in bathroom and we are both fair! yuk. They had no where comfortable for 2 people to sit and was quite noisy by the road. Says on website about a cafe but we didn't see one and it wasn't mentioned by owner and we were there 2 nights. Overall not a great experience sadly .

We stayed in room 5 and loved it. It is perfect for a small family. Has a kitchenette, beautiful bathroom, 2 TVs, comfortable beds, room is clean. Great complimentrys and more than enough linen. Is located towards the end of the building so if you are allergic to noise this may be a better option as it is on a very busy main road. Didn't bother me. Free washing and powder, $3 for drier. Car park included. Would love to stay there again. Only 900 metres from Waikato hospital.

Although this motel is on a main road, there was no traffic noise in my unit as it was set back from the road. The unit was, like many New Zealand motels, immaculately clean, with a well equipped kitchen area with everything you need for a short stay. Parking is tight but there were sufficient spaces for the number of units. Would I return? Without question.

We stayed here over Labour Weekend and Brian was just brilliant. We were a hockey team and he went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, our rooms were clean and well serviced and we felt comfortable during the tournament. He even went the extra mile and helped with washing our uniforms! Would definitely stay here again - good for personal, business and sporting occasions!

We recently stayed here in a one bedroom apartment - we booked the one bedroom, as we like space! We were therefore disappointed to find a single bed in the living area, which made it all quite crammed - I guess we should have read the room description better. The bathroom facilities were good for the size, great shower. We ordered continental breakfast for the morning, expecting it to be delivered the night before as was on the sheet. We were disappointed to have to name a time in the morning for it to be delivered and then when it came the bread had already been toasted - we expected to do this ourselves, seeing there was a toaster and to suit ourselves. Checking out very little interaction, in fact the phone rang and instead of asking person to wait, my payment was made while host kept on talking on phone, I thought he was rude and no wouldn’t recommend this place to any of our family and friends.

i stayed here for 7 nights total (in 2 different rooms) as my husband was ill in Waikato Hospital. Both rooms were very clean & comfortable with good facilities. All the staff were brilliant, very friendly, helpful & kind, & couldn't have done more to make me feel at home. Many thanks to all of you.

We have 2 options for you. We are happy to drop you off and pick you up if you would like to pop into town for a restaurant meal or we have a company called Scoff which will deliver and this food is very good on both quality and price. We look forward to your reply.
