I am a researcher, so the property is very convenient to the research centres that I have to use: Alexander Turnbull; The National Archives and the Parliamentary Library. The reception staff were efficient and personable. They upgraded my room to one better suited to my needs: I am a single traveller and they moved me from a double bed unit (ordered online) to a single bedroom. They carefully explained the "Going Green" option, (which I did). The room was spacious with nice vistas of the streets and green belt. the facilities were excellent: Writing desk, iron and iron board, wardrobe, spacious shower and toilet. I went for the green option (3 nights), so cannot comment on the cleaning of the room. I do wish , however, that the coffee machine came with instructions, but I worked it out after two attempts. The wifi is excellent, which is essential for my purposes. I did eat in and the restaurant staff were always accomodating, and the food was more than acceptable. There is a supermarket nearby should you want to prepare your own food. Overall, my stay at Atura was an excellent experience. I will be staying with them again.

Nice reception and lobby area, but rooms are small and the bathroom was dated, with a leaky shower. Skirting boards in bathroom were water damaged.

Highly recommended all round :)
My daughter and I had a fantastic stay at Atura. I would like to mention Louisa in particular who went out of her way to provide a space for my daughter to have a zoom call for her work. Thank you so much for going above and beyond, we appreciate this greatly. Also the friendly reception staff for whom nothing was too much trouble, I highly recommend this hotel. Thank you.

Staff were pleasant and accomodating. Hotel rooms need a serious revamp though. Small poorly lit room. No lace curtains under the drapes for basic privacy from the multiple neighbouring houses so had to keep curtains drawn all day with lights on. The worst bathroom I’ve come across in a hotel before. The bathroom of the classic room we got was exactly what you’d expect of an old hospital bathroom, only a hospital bathroom floor appears cleaner.

Stayed 2nights for a sports tournament. Just what we needed for a rest in the evenings. New World close by too for essentials. Parking our ute was our main reason for selecting Atura which was great. We opted for the eco (no-housekeeping) in return for the $10 credit which we used for coffees upon checkout. Overall very happy.

The Atura was easily accessed via the motorway and close to my conference facility. It was also convenient to the supermarket. The communal hallways smelled air-freshened. However, the room (913) would benefit from a deep clean rather than a superficial service. There was evidence of grease marking on the kitchenette bench. The extra blankets were clearly dumped in the drawers by the last guest, there were blood splatters and mould on the walls of the bathroom and a thick build-up of dust particularly around the carpet line and skirtings, along with slopped coffee or water or similar. I did wonder if the toilet was cleaned before or after my fresh towels were hung (on a rail directly adjacent to the toilet) as the toilet seat was up on arrival. I understood on arrival that I could use the no daily service vouchers against my room cost only to discover on departure that I could only use it on food or beverages (which I did not require). I also encountered another guest on arrival who was requesting a full room service due to the filthy state of it. Check in staff asked him to clarify the elements that required attention - his response was "all of it". On arrival to my room, it appeared that this is a consistent issue and that most guests probably wouldn't mention it to staff but reflect it in ratings. Would I stay at Atura again? No. I'd stay in accommodation that I have previously that was cleaner. I'd Uber to and from a conference facility instead of staying at the Atura.

I was quoted $124 as per Expedia and the charges was more than $230 - which I had to pay as the booking was confirmed already and would have penalized myself into paying the full amount anyway. The bathroom mirror was dirty, the shower was wet inside with cleaning liquid still on the floor and slippery, the bed was not made properly and the linen smelled dusty. As per the advert, there was suppose to be air-conditioning in the room, but there was not and having to open the windows for cool air it allowed noise from the outside. The food was very good and of very good quality. Really enjoyed the breakfast and the coffee. Not very happy about the charges and the cleanliness of the rooms.
