Lovely big room. Didn't like the fact that there was scant water pressure and very hard to wash your hair.

Nice looking room with a lovely view of the Water Tower. Besides a wee bit of an ant issue (were crawling around on the single spare bed in the room) & floor was marked/ stained from previous guest, was clean, tidy and quiet. Got a great nights sleep. Great atmosphere in the restaurant, nice food, the staff were fabulous & gave great service.

The food downstairs was exceptional. There was a lot of noise outside and inside on occasion but I personally find that comforting. The old style of the building was a nice change of scene and I generally had a good time. Thanks

Upon arrival, the check in process was seamless, and the young lady was friendly. The restaurant staff was attentive and nice to talk with. The room was large, clean and well equipped. The air conditioning was a nice addition to maintain the temperature. I would certainly return on another trip.

No lift and stairs are quite steep. Lovely willing staff helped with my suitcase, but I doubt I will stay there again because of the stairs.

Wonderful Hotel and Pub
Wonderful hotel and pub with old English charm. We loved our stay at the Rutand Arms Inn! Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. The pub food and adult beverages were great! We highly recommend the Hotel if you’re staying in Whanganui.

We really enjoyed our time at the Rutland Arms. We had a beautiful room that was nicely furnished and spotlessly clean. The food was as good and worth booking a table for! All in all a very pleasant stay and I’d highly recommend it !!

Nice place to stay, room a bit warm in summer
We stayed at the Rutland Arms as part of a longer stay on our drive down to Wellington. The staff were all very friendly and the room decor was very nice. We didn't make it to the bar to get a drink in the evening, but the breakfast was good with a choice of cereals, yoghurt, berries, toast, and coffee. Only negatives were that the room was quite warm (even though the ceiling fan was on) and there was some paint missing in the bathroom that hindered the overall room decor. The hallway was much cooler than the room and the room is facing the sun, so perhaps adding blackout curtains to keep the sun out during the day might be an easy fix.
