What guests think

Kolmar Inn draws consistent praise for very clean, modern rooms and handy Papatoetoe location near shops, motorway and the airport, though rooms are compact and some guests experienced hallway or neighbor noise as well as occasional parking challenges.

Many also compliment the friendly, accommodating staff and smooth late or early check-ins, while others report lapses such as unattended reception, brusque service, or cleaners entering rooms. Finding the property can be tricky due to limited street signage, and a few felt the surrounding area less comfortable at night. Best for short, good value stays before or after flights.

Easy checkin and checkout, Deluxe room booked was more than enough for a nights stay.. room amenities included a microwave which was a bonus. 3-4min from southern motorway and 2min walk to Hunters plaza so food choice is good and convenient.. really nice curry place on gt south road too. Property is right next to a foodmart and church building so the carpark is utilised by all but didn’t have any parking issues. The entrance to the property isn’t clear and still currently has construction fencing around the sides.. but use the foodmart as the landmark and you will find the inn. Once this gets tidied up with bold property signage will be great. The inn does not have a lift so beware of heavy bags.. deluxe room was on the main reception level so didn’t have to deal with this, am not sure if there is a lower level entrance to make bag handling easier if your room is allocated on the lower level. I would stay here again for the ease and convenience and new facilities is a major bonus.

This place was a nice place to stay with nice upgrades and quality. I rated it a bit lower because where it is located is in a busy business area and the parking was a bit tricky to navigate. Otherwise it was great!

When paid for the wheel chair accommodation but not once in our 3 night stay we could get a car park was inconvenient as we had to struggle getting up and down the stair with our disability the car parked in the car parked in parking space had no disability sticker and were always the same 2 cars which i think must have been staff from the restaurant

The price and location is great. The design and layout of the compact room is good. But it wasn’t deeply clean. Dust on shelves, the microwave was not thoroughly clean, and the biggest negative was the mattress. Very soft offering no support. Some people might like a super soft mattress but my back didn’t. Which is a shame because I was hoping this was going to become a regular stop.

I booked this property because of the excellent rating On arrival, was handed the key and told to walk down a flight of narrow stairs with my 30kg suitcase Walking through the hallway, it smelt quite damp and there was a strong smell of cleaning product (like a bleach smell) The room itself was clean, but very small and felt a bit claustrophobic Within 10 minutes of arriving we ended up leaving and booking a new motel as the smells from the hallway and the spice house next door were making me nauseas. I explained the situation to the desk, no refund/or partial refund was offered

Clean and near the airport. Finding it wasn’t easy, a sign visible from the street would have been helpful. There is a system for those arriving outside reception hours (essential when near an airport) which could be a lot more secure. Good parking. The lock on my door failed and I had to spend the night in the corridor. There is a phone number for problems but my phone wasn’t working. Staff fixed the problem quickly in the morning and refunded the room cost without argument.

Sadly when ever someone closes doors it was very loud. Not Kolmars' fault but some guests opening and closing doors and speaking in the hall till1am was not cool and there was no phone number to call in the room. Being by myself I did not want to confront the guests as their language was also not great. I spoke to Kolmar and did get an apology but nothing else. Comfy room. Good value for money with a handy location but not very restful nights sleep on my 4 night stay

The place was very well maintained, comfortable, tidy and clean. However, I was disappointed with the customer service. When checking in, the receptionist was not welcoming and lacked customer service skills. I was waiting for her to be free and once she was, all I got was "Yup" in such a blunt tone. She did not greet us, never smiled and seemed to hate serving people which is her job!

The customer service. Not very helpful and doesn’t help customers. I’ve stayed plenty of times and there is no consistency with the staff and they don’t have customer care especially the male who dresses like a women he’s quite rude and not helpful at all and doesn’t even greet you as a customer. She or he told me to bring a chromecast I then bring a chromecast on the next stay and then he says he don’t know how to do it. They didn’t even try ask some one else to try help they don’t give options but quick to take the money. Honestly I only stay at this place as a last option that’s all. I don’t like the service at this place and the facilities they offer!

Kolmar Inn is very deceiving. Its exterior is very unassuming, just blue, box-like brick in a fairly busy shopping area. But park in the off-road parking lot and enter the doors, and everything changes. Service is fast, friendly and efficient. The interior is very neat, tidy and new. The secure rooms are comparable to many modern hotels. Compact, but spotless, and well-appointed. Even better, they are soundproofed from the exterior, and well-curtained to block out external lights. It is easy walking distance to a major shopping centre. For a very reasonable price in a city setting, it met all our overnight stay needs.

Takes over an hour to get into city when traffic is around. Over all a nice place to stay if you want to be close to airport this place is super close and convenient!! but be prepared to travel long distances to get anywhere if your wanting to visit the city center maybe take public transport.
