Reviews of Whakatane Hotel & The Craic Irish Pub
J.Nice old style hotel with lovely bones, a spacious lounge and balcony overlooking main street. Very clean and comfortable. The hotel is in need of a face lift as carpets worn and decor bland. A few paintings could help.
No sleep in as vacuuming started before 7 a.m.
C.Loved the Thai chilli beef salad very nice and a large meal. Fish and chips looked great also. Well worth it to stop for lunch
J.Lovely Irish style accommodation and pub. Nok, the manager was an excellent host. She was very helpful with her service.
C.Good live music this Friday evening, nice, large and tasty meals and friendly. Glad we went.
K.My steak I had was nice, the burger the partner had was a bit dry. Not many people about for a Saturday nite. The young lad behind the counter wasn't very welcoming. Does pay to shop around.
T.Great kai. Reasonable prices. Steak cooked to perfection.
Nice tidy premises with option to eat indoors or out. 2 counter staff who dealt with us lacked the friendly, polite nature expected of those in the hospitality industry.
J.Had a great night, it was an open mic night. Greatest night of fun in a long time
E.Great place for a beer in the sun. Love the Iive music too.
T.Simple pub hotel accommodation.
The hotel is a beautiful old building, reasonably maintained. The accommodation was clean and tidy, but dated. The shared toilets and showers were clean and tidy. The shared kitchen and line areas were good enough, but 3 things in those spaces had "not in use"signs on them? They went needed there so just get rid of them.
Over all, it is value for money accommodation.
M.It is what it is. Basic, clean, warm and very friendly. Excellent no frills accommidation and probably the best bowl of chips i have eaten in 60 years, would definitely recommend it to people on a budget.
B.Friendly staff. Quick meal. Average. Same as could be cooked at home. Enjoyable atmosphere. Warm winter day, so nice to eat outside. Probably won't go back.
c.Stopped in on a road trip for a drink and was.pleasa tly surpised. Friendly staff and cold beer. Food looked good, but we didnt dime there.
C.Room clean and bed comfortable with spare blankets in cupboard.
Toilet down the hall also clean.
Best to book online.
Would stay again
K.Stayed here the night as we couldn't find any where else on a Saturday night.
The room was good, very comfortable beds and good shower pressure.
The kitchen was very basic however the bar was great and friendly staff, free parking in the back and you couldn't get any closer to the center of town.
I would stay here again
Y.Wonderful evening. Went to the Pub for dinner. Great atmosphere, live entertainment and beautiful food! We all had the fish and chips. Very generous portions, the fish just melted in your mouth. Chips were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Salad was great. Tartare sauce was lemony and delicious. Would go again.
J.Pleasant..nice food...good service...
D.Very old hotel which is well managed and clean. Good value for money but quite basic. The Craic pub has a nice Irish atmosphere.
T.Staff are really nice and the food is great. Cocktail happy hour is disappointing. Happy hour globally means half price not 15 dollars down to 13. However I am always willing to pay more for quality. Sorry but honestly the staff need to visit the Ponsonby bar in Rotorua to learn how cocktails are properly made. Especially if you expect to charge $15 and up. They have the potential to do better and seek the right expert to show them how.
A.Good Irish-style vintage decor. Screened cosy seating for private groups apart from usual open plan bar tables. Friendly bar and security staff.
J.Nice atmosphere, meal was nice, I had the lamb shank end enjoyed it. Desert was yummy, although it was advertised as cookies and cream cheese cake yet i was brought out lemon, which wasn't really an issue, but might pay to get the chalk boards correct.
S.Great atmosphere, rooms are cozy a little out dated but the do the trick for resting the head. Pub down stairs has friendly staff and a mean guinness
M.Great food and good company always at the Craic!!!!
M.Day core is dated but serviceable. I could not fault cleanliness. Very good. Ate at bar and food was good serving and good value. Staff all very good. Not a bad stay for the price.
D.The open fire(gas) was brilliant on a chilly night and our barman was a pleasant and helpful chap. Good number of screens around too if your interested in catching the game. The street furniture was pretty useful and quite unique.
K.Nice people beautiful lunch
S.We actually stayed at the hotel in the upstairs accommodation for 2 nights. The room was large. Bed very comfortable and bathroom good.
Right in town so walk to everything. Friendly staff.
K.Good value for money accom in the middle of town. Shower was the only let down with very little pressure and the air was freezing but otherwise clean and comfortable 👍👍
N.Greatly enjoy their poker night every Thursday from 7pm
C.Standard pub fair at a reasonable price. Had the beef burger and it was very tasty! As always, Guinness on tap was well appreciated and the booths provided a private feel within the establishment.
S.We had low expectations and it exceeded them (just). Wasn't a noisy night like we thought it would be, bed and room was comfortable, only downfall was the shower. I'm 6ft tall, my partners 6ft2, and the showerhead was barely shoulder height. Installing a simple slide shower would solve that!
J.Great place to relax, listen to some good music, have a feed, have a drink or latte and people watch. Friendly and helpful staff. Love the atmosphere sitting outside.
R.Stayed in the hotel really good for the price and all amenities were in place for what is expected... Car park was out of the way but other than that we were happy with the stay
T.Had an awesome nite at The Craic. Staff are always friendlly and know what the regulars like even though we come from Kawerau and can't get there as often as we like. Thank you to all the staff at The Craic and to the security staff who do an awrsome job.
J.Was nice but could have been abit more dinner for the price.
K.Nice and close to centre of town, Good staff Maybe ask if there is a Band or live music on the nights you stay. As they have a (Boiler room) Night club under where you sleep in some rooms L shaped hotel. So ask if you don't like Boom Boom till 3am. But apart from that all good. Normal city noise. Will stay again BUT will ask about Bands I hope this helps
R.Beautiful food and great people
B.Lovely meals and staff

A.Always like a beer here...today was special as it was my late father's birthday...nice meal ...the only problem was out of 4 people...only three meals came out the same time...one order was another full 5 minutes later...that was disappointing with the occasion ....should be all together or just after...5 minutes later was not on!
