Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
This hotel is brilliantly situated on beautiful Lake Tekapo. I was glad I paid for a lake view - it was so worth it. The room was simple and a bit shabby but had everything I needed for one night, and I was able to park very close. I would definitely stay again.

We were surprised when we got to our room how dark and unappealing it was. Not at all like the picture on Expedia. We immediately left and kept driving to Christchurch realizing we would get no refund. Don’t be tricked by the pictures.

Joshua

Liked: Staff & service
The Godley Hotel is what it is - bed and a shower for a reasonable price compared to other options in the area. The room was cramped and poorly lit, dated and drab decor. Walls are thin and without drawing the blinds (so no light) everyone has a nice look in. Bathroom extremely utilitarian with low water pressure in the shower, but no issues with hot water. If you’re expecting a 3-star experience this is not it. But the staff were friendly, the bed comfortable enough, fair price and good location.
