Reviews of Distinction Coachman Hotel Palmerston North
D. S.
Thank you to the team at Distinction Coachman for a wonderful stay and experience! This is the second time we have been back and this hotel never disappoints! The staff were very accommodating and we had an awesome time! The breakfast buffet was also great and we will definitely be back the next time we are in Palmy!
L. H.
Nice hotel easy 5 min walk into Palmerston North. Friendly helpful staff. The rooms are dated and could do with being redecorated and freshening up. The buffet breakfast is good quality and plentiful.
a. p.
Staff were well trained, polite and friendly ..however the standard of the room was a bit of a let-down .The room felt dated with maintenance being needed in the bathroom with mould on the walls and ceiling, grout in tiles cracked and missing and no extractor fan evident. Also plug point was not working . Would have also expected a teatowel to be available to wash and dry stuff plus also would have expected sky to be an option instead of just standard TV. My personal feeling for an establishment of this reputation the standards were lacking.
R. G.
Decor is very dated. Staff just lovely. Food nice, although i was in the last table to go to the buffet & the roast beef was blue. Dessert was disappointing as it was all bought in items. Very happy occasion though, & service was excellent by young staff.
A. D.
Incredible place to hold a wedding, staff and so accommodating and organised. Liz is incredibly patient and helpful. Food is excellent and there was so much of it!
Wonderful experience
K. T.
We had the buffet breakfast this morning and neither of us could fault it . The food was fantastic the staff we're so friendly and helpfull . We will be back again and again thanks for a great experience team!!!
D. S.
Whet there for a high Tea the food was average the slices were supermarket brought, same amount of food was given to each table regardless of the number of people.
R. L.
Five star service, friendly staff and really good food is served for both breakfast and dinner. The rooms are a nice size but just a bit dated. I really enjoyed the spa bath in our executive suite and and bath robes behind the door. Nice touch!
It's Very quiet here, so if you need to rest your weary head in peace, this is the hotel for you. My husband especially loved the fireplace in the lounge area. Keep up the awesomeness Coachmans, we will be back.
j. o.
We arrived tired and worried at 1am, but the staff were excellent and booked us a reasonably priced room. It was warm and extremely comfortable, plus they let us stay a bit longer due to our very late check in time to catch up on sleep.
We would easily spend more time in this fabulous and aesthetically pleasing looking hotel if we are ever back in Palmerston North.
S.
Had alot better 4 same cost - but stil nice and comfy
M.
Absolutely exceptional my room the service just impeccable I also dined in at la patio the Restaurant located in the hotel. I ordered a Duck burger consisting of Master stock pulled duck with a slaw,egg and a onion marmalade poutine and That was simply Outstanding plus the seafood chowder soup with sourdough the Angus burger and a chocolate marquise I was even able to order a takeaway dish of fish and chips to eat tomorrow morning. Sensational service with a smile.
J. T.
My stay has been lovely so far. Great hospitality, great rooming, great comfort. The hotel design is beautiful, reminiscent of a cottage. The breakfast is delicious and the rooms are spacious and can comfortably room two people.
M. K.
Great service.
Abit of car park problems, but this was fix as soon as reception was told.
Nice quaint room for myself, 5yr old granddaughter and her mum.
Nice walk to the square.
Close to pak n save and countdown.
Close to eateries, if not wanting to dine in at the hotel.
Would of been handy to have a microwave in the room.
And somewhere to wash dishes. Had to use same ones over and over, unless you wanted to wash them in the bathroom handbasin, where the toilet is as well.
But otherwise was a short but a pleasant stay.
K. D.
Great for a function! Rooms need an update
N. d. V.
Excellent food and coffee friendly staff and ample parking, clean and neat.
M. B.
A posh afternoon tea. A smart hotel in the old style, with a degree of elegance. Top of the pops was the ladies facilities, automated everything without being difficult, it did what it said on the box.
Sadly the food was a bit ordinary, most NZ ladies can produce better in their own kitchen. Note to hotel, A damp tea towel over sandwiches works a treat to stop the bread from drying out. The serving staff were excellent, and having a second pot of tea, no problem. All in all a lovely experience, to make it perfect would have been able to step outside into the garden. Amazingly the door was locked!
G. C.
Wonderful staff. Thanks Amanda H.
Room 112 was great. Clean. Everything was top notch. Highly recommend. Great price for 2 nights stay.
Night manager. Sorry i forgot your name but thanks.
A. K.
Fantastic staff, Rhonel the waitress keep everything in the restaurant under wonderful control. Management, clone this girl. The hotel was so clean, beds so comfortable and the ladies and gents toilets the most elegant I've ever seen. Really enjoyed our stay.
M. L.
Had a wonderful stay this weekend. Dawn was amazing and looked after us very well. As did the other staff members.
Very Impressed and happy with our stay overall and would highly recommend you guys to friends and family.
There was only one thing I found uncomfortable and that was the bed mattresses were too soft. But that's manageable.
Other than that everything was fantastic. Your facilities were top standard. I was even surprised by the quality of your shampoo and conditioner.
I look forward to my next stay.
V. G.
Wonderful stay here
Thank you ❤️
Wonderful staff clean and tidy property
S. B.
Was good, clean and good for money. Does need curtains in kitchen tho, lights up whole place at night from lights outside
A. R.
Didn't enjoy it as much as my last stay there. This time around there was none of the nice artisan breads for breakfast, and the WiFi (even though I was in the same room as last time) kept cutting out all the time. Other than that I still enjoyed the facilites and the cooked breakfast very much (excellent mushrooms, nice scrambled eggs) and the staff are still friendly and switched on.
P. T.
Stay for work conference, room 209 is facing the main road but is surprisingly quiet (it is Palmerston North afterall), the bed was too soft for me but the room is clean. Facilities in the room were dated but perfectly functional. Staff are all extremely friendly and helpful. There is a lovely garden at the back of the hotel, perfect spot to spend a quiet sunny afternoon there.
M. T.
My name is Maria and l came for 4nights meeting with my 2 sisters at this motel . The service here absolutely awesome. I give it a high rating ,thank you to the house keeping
job well done and also the staff managing .
Absolutely awesome
The 3 sisters Maria ,Dianne and Joanne.
B.
Nice rooms, friendly staff, and a good price.
J. H.
Came in to stay for the night. We had a refreshing dip in the pool and sat in the spa for a few minutes. The staff were so professional and friendly. We didn't have to venture very far to find good hospitality. The food we had at the restaurant in the evening was beautiful and tasty. The lamb and the chicken dishes were devine. The waitress did a lovely job taking care of everybody.
a. j.
Loved the place will so go back again the ladies at the front desk were so helpful and the head house worker was very lovely and made us feel welcome was awesome. Only one thing that could be better is the housekeepers didn't make up our room so wasn't happy about that but the lovely head housekeeper took care of us and done it straight away so that was awesome and there was hair from previous guests in the sink and a bit of rubbish under the bedside table other then that Everything was awesome. Will totally be back 👍😁
D. V.
Great place to host a celebration like a wedding
R.
Lovely older hotel that has been refurbished really well it was a shame that their was no air conditioning in our room only a portable fan.the night we stayed was a very hot day,/night so was a bit uncomfortable sleeping
Sort the AC out and I would have given 4 stars
b.
My Group were looked after so well. Checkin and meals were great. Comfortable beds and Travis and all the staff were incredible. We will be back. Bev from Helloworld Strandon, New Plymouth.
S.
Hotel is absolutely beautiful!! Plenty of space for parking, on site pool / gym / private/public spa / hairdressers and restaurant. Team was very welcoming and room was spotless. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND
T. N.
Went for a workshop, was provided with the standard morning teas and coffees and scones but they could've left the coffee out for longer I came out after lunch and there was nothing. But good service and friendly unassuming staff, used to people coming in and out. Plenty of parking, well appointed room, good service.
J.
Everything was perfect, Except for the bed in room 215! Will go down in history as the most uncomfortable bed we have ever slept on! Did notify reception who did not seem interested at all, did not even write down our room number in order to lodge the complaint.
S. D.
Super friendly and helpful staff. The buffet breakfast is your typical standard buffet breakfast which includes 6 hot food selections and continental breakfast.
The room we stayed in however wasn't quite clean and the carpet had brown patches and stains over it.
L.
Clean tidy, a little out dated but nice stay. Restaurant good service friendly staff meals hearty with quick service. Breakfasts good.

We have an annual seminar at Hotel Coachman and they are fabulous. Attentive staff, excellent food, warm and pleasant surroundings (decor little rustic but nothing wrong at all about that)
Have always enjoyed coming here and I wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else in Palmy.
M. W.
Was here for a private function. The facilities were exceptional, staff impeccably helpful and friendly. This place is definitely top notch and would definitely inquire for future bookings. Great night was made even better by the hotel
S.
Wonderful staff. Professional front house manager - Samuel Biddle. Food is great, and rooms a lovely done up. So what are you waiting for, book in today!!
M. H. (. B.
Great location, room was good, breakfast was standard but yummy nonetheless.. There was a wedding on at the time we arrived so there were no parks (mostly due to incompetent or ignorant parking) and the only input reception had to that was 'park out front and move it later" which could have been an option if there were parks out front (so we just made our own park). The stay was lovely anyway, and would recommend (especially if there are no other functions on at the time)
L. U.
Friendly staff, good rooms, great place to stay.

A. &. R. H.
La patio. Do try the calamari entree. Some of the most tender calamari we have ever had. Moving onto Plate of Origin 2019 - A combination of local Coastal Spring Lamb and Otago Conger Eel from Fleur's Place at Moeraki. A unique marriage of the two ingredients.

Don't know why Google maps is asking me to rate it considering I literally just walked past it twice but I'll give it 5 stars anyway
M. L.
Furnishings and décor a bit tired and dated, but the team are friendly, particularly those staffing the restaurant. Meals are a bit mixed and pricey, but the steak was excellent.
