I went to the Editor's Cut restaurant today (Sun, 16 July'23) along with 3 friends. We all ordered our meals at the same time,m, however 2 meals came reasonably quickly, the other 2 coming 15 - 20 minutes later. The first 2 diners had almost finished their meal by the time the last 2 received theirs. When my meal finally arrived (the last meal to be delivered), it was not what I ordered. I 'politely' sent the meal back, but as it turned out, I should have kept it! The meal was disappointing to say the least! Both the fish and the chips were soggy, and I couldn't really identify the fish from the batter. After 2 mouthfuls, I couldn't eat any more. It seems that the oil it was cooked in was clearly not hot enough. It was VERY greasy.

My friend, who also had the battered fish and chips, could only eat a little of the meal. Her meal was also 'soggy'. Within an hour after the meal she became unwell, and several hours later is no better. We suspect food poisoning.

Sadly, we will not be going back to the restaurant as not only was the meal disappointing, I felt the kitchen service was not up to standard either.
The 'front of house' staff were very pleasant however, but despite the fact that there were only ~6 other diners in the restaurant at the time, the disparity in the timing of delivering our meals was unacceptable - and they delivered the wrong meal to me.

I actually liked it. Id say itd be a great stay over winter as its central to everything, airport, malls etc. I only say winter as room doesnt hav AC (jst a heater) so summmer youll be burning as the window doesnt even fully open. Otherwise, great room n location n awesome food n bar at level one.

Rooms need fans and door fixtures to keep them open if u wish. People from events need to be told not to go by the rooms . Food and staff great ??'?.

Comfy bed, clean room, good smart TV.

Even though most nights are probably pretty cool here, a fan wouldn't go astray, pretty warm.
Also slamming doors, I though there was pile driving happening nearby, very loud!

It was ok the restaurant wasn't open due to a public holiday but there were guests so an effort to open would have been good.
Ended up in public bar being harassed by local drunks fun fun! staff did not seem to mind they kept harassing us when they could see we were clearly uncomfortable
Rooms were nice - parking available
Prices high for a public bar and off course surcharge for guests !

Okay for one night but the room was certainly tired and in desperate need of modernisation. No air conditioning which pretty much turned the room into a sauna with the afternoon sun. The restaurant though was good with friendly staff. Again, okay for one night if you're on a budget but any longer then go round the corner to the new hotel.

Though we didn't book in here, we were told that the cocktails served here was on point. So we took a short 5min walk from our accommodation at Langlands.

The cocktail lounge and bar area has a great atmosphere and very comfy seating. Music was a mix of 80s 90s. Views out the windows of the streets below and some light renovations made it very relaxing. There is an area for Karaoke nights!

The lady serving us provided some local knowledge about Invercargill. Drinks are priced fairly and tasted really good! When we return to Invercargill this is a place we will definitely visit again on a return trip from Australia.

Great service and drinks!

Did the job for a one night layover. Definitely wouldn't stay here for a holiday. Although the staff were lovely, my two biggest grievances were that there was no air conditioning in the room and the rooms are not sound proof. Woke up at 7am to doors slamming from other guests checking out, which kept up for the next couple of hours.

Overall though it's fine for what it is.

The rooms are awesome, customer service is on point. Everything is awesome except. . .

The only thing that needs an update is the heating system. It's always on heating and you can't change the setting. Summer there would be terrible.

Room where nice. Found a broken hairdryer but still can use it and the toiletys had spilt at the top so I throw them away. Great water pressures in the shower. Bed was comfortable the view was great. Service at reception great . Hotel meals yummy. Located in Central invercagill. Easy walking distance to many shops and cafas. Would go again.

Clean, tidy, warm, gorgeous sheets and pillows. Slept 12 hours and needed a late checkout because of it. Could have stayed in all day snoozing. Once we figured out where to park it was easy. Walked to paknsave. Pokies if that is your thing but not for us. So cheap after being in big .city. $140.
