I have stayed here multiple times over the last 10 years but this was the first time in the last 5 years. Although the rooms could have a refresh, the motel has everything I need. Easy access to a supermarket, restaurants, and shopping, Each room has a kitchen to cook meals (microwave and oven) and the rooms are spacious. A nice touch in winter is the electric blankets on the beds.

Whilst the room was clean this is a very basic budget hotel. It is not a 3 star more like a 1-2 star. The room was very dated and shabby with 60s vanity in the bathroom and shower curtain. The room smelt a bit but this improved when airing. If you just want somewhere to base yourself then it’s fine but if you want some comforts stay elsewhere. Great location though

Quiet and comfortable. Room a bit dated, but clean. No air-con in room, and it was very hot. However they provided us with a very good fan on request.

Regret booking to stay 10 - 13 March (3 x nights). Only very basic service provided each day and communication from the staff was difficult. The motel feels in many areas like it has not been upgraded since it was originally built in the 1970s. Carpet was also lifting in some areas presenting a trip risk / hazard. Request for at least 1 x night refund for my inconvenience / poor experience.

We particlarly enjoyed the spaciousness of our room and the comfortable kingsize bed. Great shower too. We had chosen Dilomat for is proximity to Southern Eye Hospital so the above factors were definitely a bonus

The property is in a good location and the hosts were welcoming and pleasant. The apartment we stayed in needs some TLC and could have been cleaned more throughly.

The motel room was very dated and was dark and dingy. The room appeared not to have been cleaned for a long time. There was a large spider web on the window in one room, food in the cutlery draw and thick dust all over the surfaces. The window in the main bedroom did not close. The bathroom needs to be renovated. A good clean and update to the bathroom would improve this accomodation.

Unfortunately we left early. We couldn't stay our whole trip. Although the staff were lovely. The rooms weren't up to expectations. There was mould in the shower, no kids area they could actually play in. The double bed was 2single beds pushed together that kept separating through the night.

We loved the space in the unit and the small little garden courtyard. It was perfect for the grandparent with young new family weekend we spent in Christchurch.
