What guests think

At Hamilton Motor Inn, travellers repeatedly praise the convenient location near the river ferries, buses, cruise terminal, airport and dining, along with friendly, helpful staff, while noting the property is dated with basic rooms and some maintenance issues.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with many clean rooms but recurring reports of unserviced rooms, stained bedding, and occasional odours. The lift is old and at times unreliable, and on-site parking exists but has low clearance for some vehicles. Overall, expect a basic budget stay suited to short, practical visits.

Clean enough for an aged place . Close to Bus & Ferry . The room (F2 R2) is a bit patched -up , shower drips 24/7 , nice smell when you walk in , I would stay again but only for the location (re the parking , the underbuilding carpark has a very low entry point and only low to the ground can get in )

This property deserves a 5 star. We were looking for a brilliant experience for our large family 2 adults 4 kids. We had a lot planned but we’re on a budget I was worried by some of the reviews but soon see they negative reviews were clearly false We underestimated our time of arrival arriving 1.5 hours early…wasn’t an issue at all the lovely gentleman at reception promptly checked us in I could tell it was a very busy day for them and I was absolutely blown away at the hospitality shown and I only hope they will have us back ! The hotel offers free wifi and Netflix on a flatscreen tv with a quaint dining table and beautiful city views ! & I can’t forget the rooftop views. They also off tea coffe and biscuits upon arrival which was fantastic! It’s close to all local amenities and the rooms are more then what you expect for the price this is great and I HIGHLY recommend staying here We had a wonderful experience and I only hope we can return in the near future ! Cheers Hamilton Motor Inn for a brilliant experience absolutely AAA
