The place is reasonably priced. Bed was comfortable, room was generally clean but fairly rundown. The manager is a very pleasant knowledgeable man who is ver welcoming and vested in giving guests valuable information about hiking, points of interest etc., the shared kitchen facilities were well-equipped and provided everything you would need to prepare a meal. ##### ELAINE S Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jane Mar 10, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Stayed in “Deluxe” private room - basically an old motel room, but had microwave, coffee machine, toaster, kitchenette. Manager very helpful, said every guest has towels & sheets provided (info on website was wrong) Not providing free breakfast or soup as stated on website, but Chateau is close to great cafes & bars. Washing machine & dryer worked well - place needs a fix up & paint. ##### Jane Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Emily Feb 9, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Adequate budget accommodation This place was adequate for our two-night stay. Strong backpacker vibe, with free breakfast (waffles, cereal, toast) and evening soup. Helpful staff. The location was great. The room itself was dated and pretty small. I'd say this is a case of you get what you pay for. It was very affordable and great if you're looking to connect with other travelers, but I think I would personally spring for a place a bit more modern with more amenities next time. ##### Emily Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mrinali Dec 11, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service I liked that there was free hot soup in the evenings and a free breakfast. We arrived an hour early but weren't allowed to check-in. Also the rooms were not clean, there were bed bugs, the hot water tap wasn't functional and there were spiders in the room. I probably would look for a cleaner accomodation next time. ##### Mrinali Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Callum Nov 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Really good size private room with comfortable bed which also had a mini fridge and little sofa. Decent bathroom. Staff were friendly and helpful. Free parking on site. Two good size kitchens and plenty of communal space but no atmosphere really so not great for solo travellers. Would not recommend using the hot tub - was filthy. Disappointed with laundry facilities - washing machine didn’t drain properly leaving my clothes soaking, dryer did not dry fully, and one of my T-shirts was stolen from the clothesline. ##### Callum Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rani Oct 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property was so quiet and I was able to get a good rest.

We like the undercover walking as it was raining and we were able to load and unload the car without getting too wet. The service was excellent. ##### rod Stayed 1 night in Nov 2021 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Lakeview Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Lakeview-Cottage.h37916190.Hotel-Information) > - [Kaikoura Waterfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Kaikoura-Waterfront-Apartments.h46121792.Hotel-Information) > - [Tasman Holiday Parks – Beachaven](https://www.expedia.ca/Waihi-Beach-Hotels-Beachaven-Top-10-Holiday-Park.h9624344.Hotel-Information) > - [Stopforths Premium Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Hokitika-Hotels-Stopforths-Premium-Accommodation.h23236034.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Hilton-Queenstown-Resort-Spa.h4268206.Hotel-Information) > - [Maruia Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Lewis-Pass-Hotels-Maruia-Hot-Springs.h17262379.Hotel-Information) > - [Sennen House](https://www.expedia.ca/Picton-Hotels-Sennen-House.h7120592.Hotel-Information) > - [Dusky Lodge - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Dusky-Lodge.h13271116.Hotel-Information) > - [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > - [The Blue Pub](https://www.expedia.ca/Methven-Hotels-The-Blue-Pub.h9628177.Hotel-Information) > - [Somersal Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Somersal-Bed-Breakfast.h4528347.Hotel-Information) > - [Arcadia Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Russell-Hotels-Arcadia-Lodge.h9626026.Hotel-Information) > - [Aqua Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Aqua-Lodge.h51669090.Hotel-Information) > - [Mt Cook View Motel - Fox Glacier](https://www.expedia.ca/Fox-Glacier-Hotels-Mt-Cook-View-Motel.h7275200.Hotel-Information) > - [Horse and Jockey Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Horse-And-Jockey-Inn.h29357900.Hotel-Information) > - [Two Rivers Boutique Lodge Ohakune](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Two-Rivers-Ohakune.h109320695.Hotel-Information) > - [Duvauchelle Seaside Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Duvauchelle-Hotels-Duvauchelle-Seaside-Motel.h20930343.Hotel-Information) > - [Sundowner Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Greymouth-Hotels-Sundowner-Motel.h19166307.Hotel-Information) > - [Ohakune TOP 10 Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Ohakune-TOP-10-Holiday-Park.h33230446.Hotel-Information) > - [Prodigal Daughter Gourmet Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Martinborough-Hotels-Prodigal-Daughter-Gourmet-Lodge.h39405385.Hotel-Information) > - [Acacia Lodge Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Mangonui-Hotels-Acacia-Lodge-Motel.h2600471.Hotel-Information) > - [The Matarangi B & B](https://www.expedia.ca/Matarangi-Hotels-The-Matarangi-B-B.h97053938.Hotel-Information) > - [Waitomo Village Chalets Home of Kiwipaka](https://www.expedia.ca/Waitomo-Caves-Hotels-Kiwi-Paka-Waitomo.h19526472.Hotel-Information) > - [JetPark Hotel Hamilton Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Jet-Park-Hotel-Hamilton-Airport.h4281130.Hotel-Information) > - [Lakes Lodge Okataina](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Okataina-Hotels-Lakes-Lodge-Okataina.h88669411.Hotel-Information) > - [Ruapehu Country Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Ruapehu-Country-Lodge.h9625899.Hotel-Information) > - [Mohaka River Farm - Campsite](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Haroto-Hotels-Mohaka-River-Farm.h44895522.Hotel-Information) > - [Monty's self-contained unit](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Montys-Self-Contained-Unit.h37984382.Hotel-Information) > - [Kaikoura Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Waves-Luxury-Apartments.h45744296.Hotel-Information)
