What guests think

Across reviews, U Studios Paraparaumu, SureStay Collection by BW is praised for its handy location near the beach, shops and eateries, while feedback on the property itself ranges from comfortable and practical to dated with noticeable maintenance issues.

Cleanliness is mixed: many mention tidy rooms, while others noted odours, mould, worn fittings, pests, and occasional smoke smells. Service feedback varies as well; many found staff friendly and helpful, but contactless or after-hours check-in can be tricky and responsiveness inconsistent. Expect older, budget-friendly units with some noise transfer, limited air conditioning, and parking that a few found awkward or insecure.

The outside of the property could do with a bit of a spruce up but the room was excellent - clean, well appointed. Comfortable bed - great shower and really lovely lady who checked us in. Great parking right outside the unit and walking distance to heaps of restaurants and takeaways. Great value.

Loved that the lights and heater was on on our arrival. Good comms pre arrival and Nice welcome note. Only downfall was the complex was a bit old run down . Carparking not ideal and we expected a bath, cooking and laundry washing facilities judging by the photos. Pays to read the fine print and double check before booking exactly what you are booking rather than relying on photos . $145 for 2 adults and 1 kid. Cant complain too much for that price.

We stayed a Friday night and Sunday night with night away in between on Kapiti Island. Grateful that we could leave our car in motel parking area. Contactless check is well organised, but disappointed we weren't given WiFi code. Code could have been left on table along with door key. No SKY TV :(. Would like quality of tea improved. What was supplied had no flavour. Very very comfortable bedding. Studios are very well located to restaurants and the Kapiti Island Nature Tour check in.

The pros are: Great location, close to beach and town, Good wifi Clean linen (only one face cloth so not good for three people) Good checkin instructions Cons: The place is very tired and well overdue for a paint and refurbishment Doors that stick and hard to close Cockroaches on the table and in the kitchen A rug on the floor that has been creased for years and is now a trip hazard in the middle of the night No hand wash in the dispenser Door lock up high in bathroom not ideal for short people Soft flat pillows, which are fine if you like really soft pillows

The place was clean comfortable warm and the facilities were great. The room was tired looking and could do with some simple upgrades but over all it was great for what I needed. Would stay there again for sure. Only down fall if families were there that didn’t control there kids with running around, yelling and slamming doors on my last night there. Staff were great and friendly and helpful. Thankyou. 😊

Disappointed that the room didnt have a bath like it is listed to have. We got there and the carpet of our room by the bathroom was very wet, we rang and told them so the duty manager showed up and just gave us some towels to put on it. Next morning another worker shower up and replaced the towels for others. The room had a really average smell so I assume the leak had been around for a while.

The proximity to shopping was good. The room was nice, but being 64 the bathroom was an issue, the shower was in a spa bath. Very hard to get into and out of. It would be nice if there was a walk in shower. I don't think people my age like a spa bath, they are very hard to get into, and out off. Also there was no place to wash dishes, except in the bathroom sink.

terrible service. we were next to the hotel and told to have to book online no matter what. online booking required us to enter a credit car and online access - the latter was not provided by them. when we mentioned it they insisted. sth wen wrong with the booking. expedia was willing to rebook, but the manager of ustudio paraparamutu was not willing to do that. when we told the story in paraparamutu, multiple people mentioned that ustudios was widely known for exactly these issues in paraparamutu. just don't book them, there are other nice places to stay there that are open after hours, accept direct payments, are service friendly and nice (just not them).

It was great that this property was very close to shops, the markets on the saturday and the beach. Great area for cafe's, beach walks and other eateries. The property looks like it needs some upgrading but for what we needed, it was definitely okay. It was clean and tidy and we were pleased with the service. Clear instructions by email when office unattended. Thanks for the stay. All the best.
