What guests think

At Sunnybank Star Hotel, travellers consistently note a convenient location with secure, gated parking, generally comfortable rooms and beds, but an aging, dated property where traffic noise and maintenance issues such as weak showers and old TVs appear.

Many reviews praise cleanliness, though recurring complaints cite drain or sewage odours, mould, and occasional cockroaches, with housekeeping sometimes limited on weekends. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, but some guests faced communication issues and slow or incomplete responses to maintenance problems. There is little to no on-site dining or bar service, yet multiple eateries and a small supermarket sit directly across the road. Expect a budget, practical stay prioritizing convenience over polish, with variable noise and upkeep.

Not much to like, the room was dirty. Urine around the toilet on the floor, shower stall needs a really good scrub. Didn't have a shower due to how unclean it was. Crumbs and dirt between glass and top of bench. All up I think this place has been the dirtiest motel I have ever stayed in.

Loved the security gates Loved that it is very close to Garden City Loved the size of the room Didnt like the horrible drain smell in the room that was worse after we went out for the day and came back. Smelt like sewage/rotten eggs. Definately coming from the drains because another guest had the same issue in his room and when we covered the bathroom drain with a towel it reduced the smell significantly.

I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet the room was. This motel is on the corner of two very busy roads, but the design of the rooms means very little road noise was heard. I would stay here again. Nice to have a table and chairs and decent size mugs! No microwave or utensils though which would have been nice. Eatery options and a supermakert across the road.

The secure gated parking was a big plus. Great location and very quiet. Beds and Pillows were good. Shower OK and the place was clean - but very old. The TV was a shocker - 25"? Plus the TV was not visible from bed. AND the TV was hanging off the wall sideways and despite reporting it, they never came to fix it. The units need to be refurbished - and staff improved.

Was disappointed that, with a four night stay over the weekend to find out that there was no room housekeeping on weekends! I was not awsre of this when booking. Only a tea towel and a can opener available and no detergent so at least could wash and reuse crockery etc. When trying to contact reception by the phone I was cut off 4 times which was very annoying. Communication overall with reception etc was difficult. Fresh towels were supplied, on request. The night caretaker on arrival was very helpful on late arrival which was much appreciated!

Convenient for buses, motorway access and shopping or dining directly across the road, and handy to Garden City and Sunnybank Private Hospital. Proximity to busy roads brings traffic noise for some, and signage can be hard to spot.
