What guests think

At Copthorne Hotel Greymouth, travellers consistently praise the friendly, accommodating staff and the central, walkable location near the train and river, while noting a dated exterior and town surroundings that can feel a little run‑down.

Rooms are often comfortable, modernized and sometimes spacious with river views, but a recurring complaint is the lack of air conditioning, which can make west‑facing rooms hot; fans are commonly supplied. Many guests enjoyed dinners at the on‑site restaurant, though breakfast feedback and service can be mixed, and the venue or bar is occasionally closed for events or on certain days. On‑site parking is free and convenient for most, though spaces can be tight at busy times. Overall, expect a clean, comfortable base with a few trade‑offs.

We stayed in Greymouth on our way to the glaciers. The Copthorne was a good place to stay as it was clean and fairly modern. The room was comfortable for our one night stay. Parking was ample and free. We checked in about 6:30 pm and asked about dinner reservations. We were told the restaurant was closed for a private party (bus load of Chinese tour group). We found a good substitute about 4 blocks walk at Speight’s Ale House. We returned to the hotel about 8:30 pm and was going to get a beer at the bar but was told it was closed. For breakfast the next morning, we ate at Sevenpenny which was about a block walk from the hotel (we saw on our way to the ale house). Their breakfast was the best we had on our tour of NZ.

The building itself was a little dated and the balcony from the room needed a bit of a scrub. However the room had been very nicely renovated and it was well appointed. Bed was great. Unfortunately the restaurant wasn’t open on a Monday night but walkable to Speights Ale House. Overall nice and good value for money

Property is well located in the downtown area and just across from the canal. The rooms are still in need updating and there is no air conditioning. We left the door to our balcony open and used the fan that was supplied. Unfortunately, our sink and shower were both clogged. The downstair restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere. My husband & I enjoyed the meals we had there- breakfast and dinner. To be honest, there aren't many other options for accommodations, but this hotel is probably one of the best ones in town.

This was a good hotel that met our needs. Bed was comfy, room and bath were clean. It’s in an older building but you can see the updating that has been done, and done well. The staff were super friendly and professional. The only downsides to our stay was the absence of air conditioning in the room. A floor fan was provided, and after the sun set it was a comfortable temperature. We ended up leaving our balcony door open all night with the fan positioned to blow the air into the room. Also, our shower had a drain issue which left standing water in the shower, so much so I cut my shower short so the water wouldn’t spill over the edge into the bathroom. All in all, a decent stay. Could have been worse, could have been better.

No balconys in standard rooms all are inward facing and so so small you could only call them a box rooms infact it was the worst size room i have ever stayed in and i have been travelling for the past 50 but never again would i stay at this hotel, you can stay a lot cheaper in better accommodation at the lake, if you saw the size of standard rooms you would not believe it.

Let’s clear up immediately. This is not a 4 star as advertised here. It’s scraping as a 3 if that. Air conditioner? No. (Sleeping at night was hot and uncomfortable. But there is a heater) Hair conditioner, shower cap, bar of soap sanitary bag? No. There is shampoo and hand wash but you’d expect these items in a 3 or 4 star hotel. Positives:- the staff are friendly. The location is nice. If you like being woken early, you will be by the bell tower. But if a sleep in Is for you, I’d go elsewhere. We personally liked it. Negatives:- the in hotel restaurant is over rated and a rip off. I cannot recommend it. The wait staff while very friendly were not enough to make this experience a good one. Diners be aware The menu is limited, which is no problem We liked the base of the pork belly salad however did not want to eat the pork so asked to swap the protein from pork to beef As you’ll see on the photo attached, there is a similar salad that contains grapes etc that can be served with either chicken or beef The beef salad is $32 and the pork is $37 When we ask the lovely waitress if the protein could be swapped, she said she’d speak to the chef and that there was no issue changing We were horrified when we paid the bill to discover that we were charged for two steaks at $55 each When we questioned this, we were told that the chef decided to serve us a bigger portion and it was not confirmed with us prior to making this decision as we would never of accepted

Upon our arrival at the hotel the streets were closed off for annual motorcycle races. Needless to say it was very noisy at first. However, once the races ended, it was very quiet around our accommodation. The hotel is nice, but located in a rather rundown area of town. Many of the businesses were closed, but we were able to walk to pick up a few groceries.

In a great position if you arrive by train but it’s an old tired building and feels like they haven’t quite upgraded it to warrant the price we paid. In saying that, staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome, and the beds were comfortable.
