The Emerald Hotel - Lisa and Staff
This is the second time I have stayed at the Emerald Hotel in Gisborne. I don’t think I would stay anywhere else. The quality of the rooms are exceptional. They are decent sized rooms and excellent value for money. Compared to other hotels around the country, they are shoebox sized compared to the rooms at the Emerald. Lisa and her team are incredibly friendly and their service is exceptional. Lisa went above and beyond in advising us on the best places to go in Gisborne for food and grocery shopping. She is a wonderful hotel manager and I am grateful for the service that she provided. Overall I thoroughly recommend the Emerald Hotel as a place to stay in Gisborne.

I use to stay at this property many years ago, was always a stand out in every way. Sadly the property needs a lot of love. Buckets everywhere to catch rain on the ground floor. The rooms cleanliness is not good. Never seen a bathroom floor so dirty. Finger prints on tv. Washed cutlery before using. Hallway tables covered in dust. I would love to see this hotel come back to its own. 😔

Since the Emerald has had a new Manager they have been trying to do some fundamental maintenance and cleaning it is definitely improving and still needs more work but can't fault them for continuing to get the place in order as it is a big task. Well done Management
