Stylish boutique hotel
The room is beautiful. I like it so much, the colour of the fabrics, the pattern on the door, the vintage window, the furry surface of wardrobe, everything. And it's comfortable as well, lovely bed and lovely shower. The old post office building itself is worth a visit.

You won't regret staying here
The furnishings are really contemporary and pretty swanky. I loved the whole way this old bank has been modified. The bar has the best gin drinks and the atmosphere is wonderful. Just be mindful that this is an older building which has quirks - for those who need 100% quiet, you may struggle with the noise from the bars particularly on Friday and Saturday nights. But it has the best bed I have ever slept in.

Below expectations
The room was not that clean, rust everywhere in the bathroom. Spiderwebs at the corner of the room. No reception when you try to check in and check out.

Nice comfy bed to relax
My wife and I stayed one night at the Clarence Hotel (the former Tauranga Post Office). Nice old building but have been fully refurbished and updated. The room was nice and large and provided all the necessities, including a nice comfy bed. Unfortunately the Bistro was closed for renovations so didn't get a chance to eat there - existing pics looked good.
