Hope Harbour Hotel

I give this place 2.5 out of 5 stars. I’m going to go into the pros and cons. Pros: - Amazing location! Absolutely love the view from my balcony. The surrounding area is also extremely nice. - The food from the restaurant on the ground floor was really nice, had great meals and it was in a great location right on the water. - It has free underground parking with plenty of space. - Price was great for the area. Cons: - While the staff were friendly, the person at the front desk wasn’t really helpful at all. I asked to change my room and he said he will see what he can do and give me a call. He had my number but never did, and when I saw him the next day he didn’t even mention anything. - The rooms are nice but banging noises from people walking around travels through the walls, and there’s no way to block it out. Our room also was right next to the door that people use to go to the pool. At 5am people would use the door and it would slam shut, vibrating the walls and waking me up multiple times! It was the most frustrating thing! - There was a space in the carpet were it was really brown and dirty. You can see in the photos the difference in colour. - The food was great, but one night I ended up waiting over an hour for some pasta, and there was 4 people in the restaurant. There was only one person making food, which is just ridiculous! Overall it was fairly good.

Had to wait while one of our 2 rooms was made up but the room that was supposed to have been made up had only had the beds done. Toothpaste splattered across the bathroom mirror, toilet unscrubbed, no face washers, hand towel or bath mat though there were fresh towels on the beds. The kitchen hadn't been done as there was no dish cloth or liquid for cleaning only 2 tea cups, no mugs and the fridge contained half eaten yoghurt, a full bag of grapes and a 1/4 of rotten watermelon its juices all crusted under it. The well frosted freezer contained a partially eaten iceblock frosted into the freezer, obviously it had been there long enough to be frosted to it. The kitchen had not been stocked with tea coffee sugar or most importantly for me milk (being a little fussy I bring my own tea and coffee) I have doubts about if it was vaccumed due to the pills as several other items on the carpet. I mention the pills as we had young children with us. The aircon remote had no batteries or back to it but we just swopped out the batteries for the T.V. remote The cleaner sent to remedy this politely made it clear that she wasn't the one who'd made up the room. She cleaned the mirror restocked the face washers, hand towel and bath mat, removed the food from the fridge and freezer and upon request gave me a cloth for me to scrub off the crusted watermelon juice. The beds were clean (I checked) with fresh sheets and comfortable. They were clear that they expected courtesy to others by not making alot of noise late at night or slamming doors. The pool area could have been cleaned. I don't know where the dirt came from but it was there when we arrived and still there when we left. The lobby chairs I wouldn't sit in, needed a good scrub with soap and water. They unlocked the freezer at the Cafe late one night for us to buy ice cream. The staff were helpful and polite. The kids loved playing ping pong and swimming.

1 room they gave us was stinky(there was 2 refigerators and one was upowered and smelled like something is dead inside). Then i asked for anorher room that was okay but in the morning there was no water. Went and asked abot it and they said there is constucton by concil and no water. So i was unable to use water.

Have stayed here a few times now over time, and it has always been a good stay for the money. (Especially if you can find a good deal on Trivago etc!) The hotel has had a couple of owner/management changes in recent years, so some reviews are now out of date. I've always found the staff to be friendly and the facilities to be great whenever I've stayed there. Rooms and beds ARE slightly dated now, but still very comfortable and you still get a good nights sleep. Cleaner could be a bit more thorough (e.g. corners in bathroom and shower recess, in the room I had this time around anyway), but are generally pretty clean. Location is great, as it is very quiet and away from the rat race of Central Surfers, and is very close to many of the theme parks and lots of shops and restaurants. I recommend this hotel for any type of traveller, families or solo, for both a short, or long stay. Due to the slightly dated beds and furniture (which are still good!), I won't give it 5 stars, but it is still great value for your money!

Hi I would like a refund as when myself and children stayed at hope harbour hotel the service was unprofessional they offered room service but never entered our room we stayed for nearly 2weeks and they didn't enter the room the whole time we was there and also there was a horrible smell from sewage

It is the second time I have stayed there the first time and the first time was great but this time there was dog **** on the verandah and the room smells like a dog had peed in the room there was a large stain on the carpet
