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.

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.

The Rutland Arms Hotel is a gem in the heart of Whanganui. The individual and thoughtful decor of the rooms captures the essence of the historic origins of the hotel and the restaurant and bar are bustling and cosy, offering a varied menu and catering very well for GF. The continental breakfast, included in the tariff was excellent. We’ll definitely be back.
