The staff offered a warm welcome upon arrival, providing complimentary fruit and lollies, which felt like a nice personal touch. The room had a cozy atmosphere, with comfortable beds making it easy to relax. I particularly enjoyed the good internet connectivity, allowing me to stay connected during my visit. the room felt a bit cramped due to limited natural light, with views blocked by outdoor structures. The bathroom could have used some upgrades as well, particularly the size, which felt rather tiny. Despite these drawbacks, the stay was generally enjoyable due to the hospitality and the comfortable sleeping arrangements.

Is it really that good? my take

The staff were friendly and helpful, offering complimentary fruit at check-in, and even assisted with our bags. The cleanliness and comfort of my room were commendable, making for a cozy stay.

My room felt cramped due to minimal natural light and views of outdoor structures. Plus, noise from the busy street could be disruptive at times.

The room was cozy, but the strong room spray was overwhelming.

Comfortable stay at Fitzherbert Castle Motel, spacious room with lovely views and friendly staff. Perfect location for exploring Palmerston North! 😊

During my stay, I was delighted by the warm welcome at the Fitzherbert Castle Motel. The staff were exceptionally friendly, offering complimentary fresh fruit and lollies at check-in. My King Studio was clean, modern, and equipped with a comfortable bed and a lovely spa bath.

Window view was limited.

Consider requesting a room at the back for reduced noise from the busy main road traffic.

Recommend for a speedy visit

Friendly staff, convenient location, offering a pleasant walking distance to eateries and shopping. Great facilities like free Wi-Fi and comfortable beds, made my stay enjoyable.

Perfectly located. we parked right under the room and it had everything we needed for a cozy night. The cleanliness was impressive and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

Couldn’t find a single fault.

Highly recommended for couples

Plus,, the little kitchenette was handy for late-night snacks,, had a cozy two-seater table for us to share meals.

A top selection for a weekend escape in Palmerston North, good price value. The staff offered fresh fruit at check-in, which was a nice touch. Try to stay on the quieter side of the motel for less noise.

charming castle design, friendly owner, complimentary snacks

The strong room spray is overwhelming!!! A sink for washing dishes in the mini studio would be more practical!!! The pillows provided were not very comfortable!!!

Charming Castle Design with Cozy Rooms

I stayed in a lovely room with a unique castle design that really added character to my experience. The friendly service made me feel right at home, especially when I was welcomed with fresh fruit on arrival. The room was clean, spacious, and equipped with everything I needed, including a handy kitchenette for late-night snacks. the bed could have been more comfortable as it felt a bit old and springy.

easy walking access to parks and city attractions

the motel is in a prime spot, just a short stroll from both the vibrant Square and the beautiful Victoria Esplanade, making it perfect for leisurely weekend walks through the city as well as enjoying serene park views.
