Our room was somewhat small but nice. The building is older so it was lacking some things (like an elevator) but that didn't really bother us. It was a... comfortable stay. The staff was great. by a Hotels.com guest on 03/10/12

This hotel is in a great location and offers all of basics one would need. However, service was lacking, especially considering the rate paid. No valet service available and staff seemed unwilling at times to cater to requests.

When I arrived, we were given a very small room that felt too confined. The window didn't work - I was not very comfortable in the room. The hotel attendant was able to upgrade us to one of the large rooms. It was beautiful, complete with a nice view of the bay. I would definately recommend this hotel.

Recent upgrade of the Duke ticks nearly all the boxes. Rooms are tastefully redecorated and I can now recommend the Duke to international colleagues without having to apologise for the 'faded' charm. Food portions are substantial and the evening meal was excellent, although a few veggies as a garnish would have been welcome. Only quibbles were the lack […] of lighting in the bathrooms and the lack of a decent breakfast. The coffee was undrinkable. Fortunately, the Waterfront Cafe just along the Strand does and excellent breakfast with great cappuccinos. Read more

Absolutely beautiful hotel right on the Bay of Islands waterfront. Our room overlooked the wharf and unbeknownst to us when booking, had a spa! Reception were friendly and helpful with booking a Bay tour. It may be helpful for guest to be advised on Hotels.com that the car ferry is a quicker way to get there, as the Russell Road off the motorway is […] long and winding, the ferry cuts off 1 to 1 and a half hours travel. Having said that, the Russell Road is very scenic. Food was great. Read more
