What guests think

Edit Hanmer Springs draws consistent praise for its central location and beautiful historic grounds, plus friendly, helpful staff and comfortable beds, though many guests note dated interiors, limited air-conditioning, basic continental breakfast, and the absence of a lift.

Dinner in the on-site restaurant and drinks by the fire are often highlights, though some venues close early or are occasionally unavailable. Rooms range from spacious suites with views to smaller or darker spaces, and long walks or stairs can be required. Suitable for travelers who value charm over contemporary polish.

There is no elevator but the staff is helpful and friendly and willing to assist with luggage. We did get asked to leave the bar area at 2145 while playing a board game quietly due to the need to turn the lights off so be aware things roll up early in Hanmer springs 😉

The rooms are well appointed . We did not eat there . If you struggle with stairs there is NO LIFT . The least the hotel could do is put a note at their reception to ask for help with luggage . I’m not sure how many rooms are on the ground floor. Surely a lift could be installed in this spacious hotel .

Good value. The beds were very comfortable, the breakfast was good. The reception staff were excellent. The building is very dated inside and could do with a proper clean, there is a lingering musty smell throughout. The breakfast staff was fairly rude. There didn’t seem to be a/c in the bedrooms so it was very hot and clammy at night. However the price we paid was fair so I would stay again.

I should start with stating that we have stayed at this hotel 5 times. The location is amazing, walkable to everything. The staff is always excellent!! Even though they run short staffed and are busy. The property itself could use a major spruce up. The cleanliness and rooms and facilities has gone downhill since reopening a few years ago. It is hit or miss if you will get daily housekeeping, even with the sign left on the door. The carpets in rooms need a steam clean badly! The toilet seat was cracked and uncomfortable when using. Two small packets of instant coffee for two days stay and three people in the room. The included continental breakfast is really subpar, it shouldn’t be part of a package deal, it should just be included with the price of the room. We were given a welcome drink ticket on arrival, that was a nice touch.The grounds of the hotel however are meticulously maintained, whoever maintains the gardens needs a special mention!

The hotel is beautifully situated in the middle of the town in large grounds. Furnishings are old fashioned making the rooms feel rather dark. The hotel has a long history with interesting pictures on the walls illustrating its life as a post war hospital. We had a lovely evening meal in the restaurant and the continental breakfast was fine.

I arrived on a motorbike in the rain and the staff were so accommodating, letting me park it round the back undercover. Really nice staff. Rooms were great and had loads of space in the garden suite. Restaurant was friendly and personable considering the few staff there were dealing with a big crowd.

NB: we ended up at Edit just as a major storm warning was issued. The whole town was battered and power was out for 2.5 days. Edit has a backup generator, which powered the restaurant, shared spaces, heating etc. We were well catered for and staff put in extra hours to keep us comfortable. Roads were closed so fresh staff couldnt get in or out. Edit Hanmer went above and beyond during difficult times.

Initial impressions were quite good; location is central to all things within walking distance, the grounds are beautiful, parking was seamless. The real disappointment came around midnight. A group of four drunk individuals camped out in the central lobby directly across from the reception desk. They were loudly yelling, laughing, and overall obnoxious. I attempted calling the front desk to ask they intervene but no one answered. At around 1:15 am, not able to sleep I went out of my room to ask they keep it quiet and ideally go to their room. I was then threatened by one of the party that “I’ll whip you up bad”. I returned to my room, they did leave, but a night was wasted at this hotel. My poor review is based on asking in the morning if they have a night clerk, only to learn yes, and the day clerk was aware of an “unruly” group on the second floor. It was clear they knew who these people were, but did nothing as management to intervene at the expense of patrons who were expecting a nights rest. Horrible customer service. In the end I was not offered so much as an apology. If traveling to Hamner Springs, do the favor of staying elsewhere.

Seen this hotel on last visit so decided to book a few nights on this visit. Very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel as an elegant feel about it, the gardens and pool are lovely. As it was warm we ate ourside at the restaurant, we chose to eat in the hotel because its prices were competitive with what was on offer in town. The food was lovely, well cooked and well presented. Continental breakfast was a good start to the day. Our superior king room was spacious and overlooked the garden. We usually book apts but this change to a hotel was a lovely experience, would book again when in hanmer springs

Travelling with a newborn had everything we needed. They had received our cot request and acknowledged at check-in, but wasn’t set up in the room, which is only a minor downside to what was overall a good experience. The breakfast is pancakes, pastries, fruit, cereal, juice, drinks and the price reflects the fact there’s no hot breakfast.
