A quirky-but-good place! Old, but beautifully (& recently?) renovated. Kitchen was mostly well equipped (air frier, but no frying pan). Lots of fridge & freezer space. Clean, too! Ask for a room NOT over the bar if you want to sleep early - but it was dead quiet after 11, so no problem for us. Water bottles provided in the room. Thanks! Only 1 sink on our floor (apart from the kitchen). But, no mirror there. Only 1 mirror - but not at a sink. A bit strange ... ! Know what you're getting, but if you don't mind a few quirks, I recommend it.

Outstanding pub with great food and really high quality accommodation at backpacker budget prices. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Methven is a delightful small town in the shadow of Mt. Hutt. Plenty of good places to eat. 100% recommendation for The Brown Pub.

Room was priced reasonably. Staff were GREAT ! We were the only ones staying so it felt like we have the entire upstairs to ourselves. Shower was fantastic. Nice decor. Short walk to the pools.

Very nice place. I just had some challenges about toilets and showers in need of a renovation. The room was very clean and comfy, views were very, very nice.

I’ve been through Methven a number of times but never stayed in town overnight, but the Brown Pub was a pleasant surprise, classic pub hotel, the food was excellent and staff as well. My room was much nicer than the photo, people in the pub were friendly and not rowdy, would definitely stay here again!

The Brown Pub is the ideal location for a cost effective holiday. I've stayed here a number of times and keep coming back. Remember, it's a pub so it goes off like a frog in a sock on Friday and Saturday nights - so either be part of the celebrations or wear ear plugs !! The staff are sensational - going that extra mile even into the wee hours of the morning. The rooms are clean and warm, the kitchen is great, stacks of hot water in the showers... and the WiFi is faster than at home ! Everything you could possibly need for a short stay or a family holiday. I'll be back.
