Edit Picton - 4 Star Hotel in Picton

What guests think

Across many reviews, Edit Picton is praised for its central, ferry-friendly location, spacious rooms with harbour views, and consistently friendly, helpful staff, with a heated pool and convenient parking often noted as welcome extras for stopovers and families.

Many guests describe rooms and common areas as clean, with some newly refurbished spaces. Repeated downsides include dated rooms in parts of the property, no air conditioning leading to warm nights and open windows, occasional noise from the port or nearby venues, and inconsistent housekeeping or maintenance. Best suited to short stays in transit.

Easy access from Picton Ferry terminal. Had to park around side on gravel because car park was full, not that it was a. Issue, only on luggage wheels. Stair and lift access to rooms. Small king size bed, slept well enough though. TV could only access one station, all other services were unavailable. Large room, clean and tidy. View glimpses of water and harbour. We had continental breakfast included but ordered and paid for extra shot cappuccinos, which we could not drink because they were far to hot and the large cup weakened the flavour of coffee.

Good kitchen staff but the room’s toilet was smelly. I vomited twice every time i went to the toilet, on the first night itself. The pungent smell was really strong. I called reception at 3 am wanted to change room but no one picked up. The next morning, i had to buy electric scented oil warmer to reduce the pungent smell.

Nice location andview of the harbour, but the place could use some sound proofing and more secure room doors. The doors are very flimsy and don't fit properly, light comes in all around it, which also means you hear everything in the hallway. I could hear every door open and slam close starting at 3 am. My room was across from the elevator access door which probably made things worse. Also, some better patio furniture might be nice, just 2 basic office chairs, no table. The patio's are shared. On the good side, the bed was comfy.

Beautiful Room was spacious, very comfortable and quiet Breakfast was excellent, easily found and served in a room with an excellent view Access to the town and harbour by foot could not have been easier.

It was an expensive bracelet, gift from my husband and they couriered it to our home address. It was waiting for me when we arrived home, i was overjoyed. That's just great service, thank you!

Whilst the hotel was fine the issues were that we were charged significantly more at the property than what I was quoted and had in writing . I booked 3 identical rooms but one of our party was put in a room with two beds and charged more when we asked about this we were basically told it is what it is. I also had in writing that the rate quoted included breakfast but we were told it was an extra $18. All in all a nice hotel in a great location but the dishonesty around the rates means I would not stay there again.

Great location - but allow plenty of time for breakfast. While the breakfast was excellent it took 30 minutes to arrive so allow time if you have somewhere to get to. One minor point, the hotel had run out of tonic water - so no gin and tonic!! I did point out that there was a supermarket only 400m away to no avail.

Coming off the ferry (running late) for a one night stay we had a friendly reception that gave the basic highlights of our stay. The room was clean and modern with direct access to the pool, and the bed was very comfortable. The only criticism would be the restricted car parking on our side of the property and the limited choices of menu options available from their new menu (5 choices but only 4 available).

The Picton yacht club claimed that they had a computer glitch and overbooked. Thankfully, they booked us at the beachcomber next-door, which worked OK. However, the the beachcomber hotel had a better dinner menu, but there was no availability in the restaurant so we had to eat at the Picton yacht club. My husband ordered the fish and chips and it was horrible. No malt vinegar available. I ordered the salmon and it was good but a very small piece of fish. The prices are higher at the Picton yacht club and the menu is more extensive at the beachcomber.
