What guests think

Guests frequently mention thoughtful extras like early check in, clear communication, and helpful local advice, including lifts for appointments. The location offers straightforward access to Hamilton Gardens and main routes, but nearby food options feel limited to some. A few note occasional helicopter or street noise, slippery bathroom floors, and parking not available directly outside every unit. Expect a clean, comfortable stay with attentive, human service.

Very tidy new property in a convenient location. I was taking a last-minute trip to Waitomo with my young child and decided on Argent for an overnight stay -- and I'm glad we did! We had everything we needed during our visit: comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms with nice toiletries, a kitchenette ... even milk in the fridge for morning coffee! Graeme was incredibly helpful getting us settled into our rooms (despite us being the final guests to check in for the day), and answered all my questions. I absolutely plan on staying here during my next visit to Hamilton.

Great welcome and people. Nice big room with good amenities. Would like a recycling bin for bottles etc. The towel holder in the bathroom fell off the wall and hit me in the foot - a wee screw in the base of that would stop it happening again. Comfortable mattress, sheets like cardboard. Very clean sheets. Everything i needed was there and the place was so close to the hospital, super convenient.

What an amazing find. So clean, well equipped and the staff were very friendly. Our room was nearest to the roadside and was very quiet on the first night. Second night (midweek) the road was much busier and there was an extremely loud helicopter overhead at around 5am, presumably heading to the nearby hospital. This wouldn't stop me booking again though.

The owner of the hotel absolutely goes out of his way to look after his guests - many of whom are hospital patients (pre or post surgery) and he doesn't hesitate to offer them a lift to the hospital if needed. It is a true kindness.

Brilliant and highly recommended. So much appreciation, also from my family and friends!

The manager of the property was very kind and offered to drive us into town so that we could have a dinner and drinks without worrying about our vehicle. He was very sweet and pleasant to talk to and gave us recommendations for the rest of our stay in the north island. The property was very clean and quiet and the kitchenette was convenient for early morning coffee before we headed out. Highly recommended!
