Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a convenient location just off Queen Street where all the action is happening, but a bit of a walk to the waterfront. The rooms were just what we needed for our short stay, with 2 single beds pushed together, although they felt a bit cramped. The staff were kind and accommodating, even compensating us when our TV wasn't working properly. The dining options were average, not too expensive for Auckland, but the buffet breakfast could be improved. Being at the end of Auckland's busiest street and next to a bus stop was convenient, but a bit of a walk to the waterfront.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was a bit disappointing as I could hear everything in the next room, although the location was perfect for my concert plans and exploring the town. The space in the room was too small for luggage, and it got cold on the first day despite staff wearing jackets.
I had a very pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were compact but had all the essentials for a comfortable experience. It was a bit tricky to open my suitcase fully without it intruding on the bed space. The kitchen was well-equipped, the bedrooms cozy, and the bathroom spacious with a lovely sunny shower. The price was fair for what was provided, making it a good value for money option.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, though tidy, had a bit of a stinky smell that could use a thorough clean-up. On the bright side, the service was competent, with special requests handled well, but they could improve their hospitality skills. The location was a big trade-off - close to Auckland highlights like the Sky Tower but in one of the worst parts of the CBD with noise issues. The dining was average, and the facilities left a lot to be desired.
The hotel was a bit disappointing in terms of cleanliness and size, but it served its purpose for the night. The service was a mix of exceptional and unhelpful moments. The location was convenient with a nice variety of restaurants nearby. The dining experience was below expectations. However, the rooms were suitable for the short stay.
The hotel is ideally located for exploring the city, with easy access to public transport and key attractions. The rooms, while clean and sizable, lacked soundproofing. The service was attentive overall, though some staff appeared preoccupied. The dining options were limited, particularly for the price. The facilities met basic needs but nothing exceptional.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were small but had everything needed for comfort, though a strange odor was present at times. The service was fantastic, with attentive staff going above and beyond to ensure our stay was excellent. The location was convenient enough, with some quirks like the heat pump turning off unexpectedly. The dining options were below expectations, offering a monotonous experience, but the hotel facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel was very small, but after complaining, we were given a better room. The shower was great, and the air conditioning worked well. Unfortunately, there was loud music until early morning, and my boyfriend had to ask three times for it to be turned down.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were tired and outdated but clean and functional, making them affordable. The service was helpful and accommodating, although not overly friendly. The location was excellent, right in the CBD and close to everything, but the parking was unexpectedly expensive. The dining experience was average at best, with the food being described as terrible and basic.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although small for a king room, were promptly attended to, but the lack of body wash and discomfort from a soft bed were a downside. The service staff were helpful and accommodating, but there were some issues with door security. The location was excellent and convenient, close to both the city center and motorway. The dining experience, despite the limited options, included homemade yogurt. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel's location is convenient with easy access to many restaurants and quick airport transportation. The service was friendly and accommodating, though there were limitations on room amenities and size. The dining experience left much to be desired, lacking quality and variety.
The hotel is in a great location in central Auckland, providing easy access to the CBD and public transport. The rooms were clean and spacious, offering a good-sized bathroom. The service was friendly and above average, making our stay pleasant. However, the dining options were limited and overpriced, lacking cooked options for breakfast. Overall, a convenient stay with wonderful staff.
