Aristotles North Shore Motel & Conference Centre — Hotel in Kaipātiki

Aristotles motel is a great place to stay if you appreciate being woken up most nights with a loud knock on your door, opening it to find management accusing you of running around the hallways and between rooms, jumping on beds, screaming (the list of accusations could truely go own for a tortoises lifetime!) It can also be insinuated that management has teleportation abilities, telling our room they KNOW it’s us creating the ruckus because they are directly beneath our room, however this statement can quickly be taken to query as other rooms AT DIFFERENT ENDS of the hotel were also told this. How can it be that ONE person is staying simultaneously beneath THREE different rooms in different areas of the building? Talking to other guests at aristotles it becomes apparent that the owners/management are in the wrong industry, the lack of people skills and social awareness is bamboozling to say the least. One positive, and yes quite a big positive, is the facilities at the motel. Rooms are very tidy and daily cleaners are prompt as well as friendly. Kitchenettes are indeed fully equipped with utensils and the parking and pool areas are top notch. The only poor aspect of the rooms was the tasteless choice of pictures hanging on all rooms walls, I wouldn’t be surprised if Stevie wonder picked them out because whoever it was clearly couldn’t see what they were doing. I wouldn’t suggest Interior Design as a career change. I know it was previously mentioned about how nice the facilities are but this means nothing if you can’t use them. Management staff have little knowledge of an elevator, as when guests would like to use the motels elevator that is completely functional they are told to use the stairs because they don’t like the elevator going UP and DOWN and UP and DOWN, unfortunately the elevator can’t go sideways so motel staff will have to accept the way things are. To conclude if you love taking the stairs, enjoy being completely silent and don’t mind being accused for someone else’s ruckus, then this is the place for you. If you are not in this minority and have already booked your stay at aristotles, honestly...

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Aristotle Motel, and I cannot recommend it enough! From the moment I checked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and excellent service. The staff truly go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and comfortable.

The room was spotless, cozy, and equipped with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring I had a great night’s sleep, and the bathroom was impeccably clean with plenty of fresh towels. I was especially impressed by the thoughtful touches like complimentary toiletries and a coffee maker in the room.

The location is fantastic, conveniently close to local attractions, dining options, and major highways, yet it was quiet and peaceful at night. The free parking and fast Wi-Fi were also much appreciated.

What truly stood out was the attention to detail and care from the staff. They were always available to answer questions, provide recommendations, and ensure that every aspect of my stay was perfect. It felt like they genuinely cared about my experience.

The affordability of this place makes it an even greater gem. It’s rare to find such high-quality service and accommodations at this price point. If you’re looking for a clean, friendly, and comfortable place to stay, Aristotle Motel is absolutely the best choice. I will definitely be back and am already recommending it to...

Avoid this motel at all costs!

The service here is absolutely atrocious, particularly at the front desk. On multiple occasions, there was no one at the front desk during their working hours, and even when I rang the bell, no one came to help. You can clearly hear staff members talking just behind the desk, but they deliberately ignore guests. Once you pay, don’t expect any help – they simply don’t care.

The room was also a huge disappointment. We booked a family room, and the facilities were subpar at best. The hairdryer didn’t work, the towel warmer was broken, and the towels were torn. This is nowhere near acceptable for a room that’s supposedly suitable for a baby. The bathroom was filthy, adding to the overall neglectful atmosphere of the place.

But what really takes the cake is the staff’s appalling attitude. We were denied access to the public restroom, despite just checking out and having a baby, an elderly mother, and a pregnant woman with us. To be turned away so coldly, especially when there was a clearly accessible restroom, is beyond belief.

This was, without a doubt, the worst experience we’ve ever had at any motel. The staff is rude, the facilities are outdated and broken, and the place is poorly managed. Do not waste...
