    “Stayed for 1 night, already planning our next trip back.”

    We Stayed as a couple at Auckland City Hotel, first up we arrived early and we're allowed to pay for our overnight parking in the secured carpark as well as prak the car while we walked around to get our bearings and waited for a room to be available. About an hour prior to actual check in we were granted access to our room, which was exceptionally clean, perfect room for a couple that only needs to bare basics for one night, but still wants to feel luxurious. It was a Friday night and the hotel was a 2min walk from the sky tower, yet I was comfortably able to work from my laptop whilst being very center to the CBD, I was amazed. The desk was the perfect touch. Loved the hot chocolate, if you book a standard queen you will get a kettle and coffee/tea/hot choccy/sugars, yet you have to fill from the bathroom sink or bring your own bottled water, which we actually didn't mind. For the most basic, room and the price we paid ($134) we were very happy with the room. The service from the staff was next level! Besides the ability to park early and early check in, they also accommodated our need of reheating some leftovers from tea the night before, as our basic room did not have a microwave, they heated it for us as well as gave us a plate, which was wonderful and certainly something they didn't need to do which made it even better. The hotel has a luxurious vibes for a lower cost and the central location could not be beat. Next time we stay we are planning on a 2 night stay and partaking in the Buffet breakfast on offer!

    “Charming”

    Clean and well presented; charming details. Great extras including Wi-Fi, Chromecast, vending machine, spacie game and pool table. Lovely staff and service. Highly recommend the full cooked buffet Breakfast. The location was perfect; a very short walk to the Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre. The car parking is extra (at the Hotel or City Parking), but the Hotel is great value.

    “Adelaide Stay”

    As a frequent traveller to Adelaide I always book into this hotel. It is first class and provides a comfortable and satisfying stay. Facilities are great with a restaurant and bar as well as a small cafe/coffee shop near reception. The staff are most helpful and knowledgeable about the city and surrounding areas. The rooms are large and offer a relaxing atmosphere as well as having very large beds which are so comfortable. Washing Machines and dryers are also available at a small charge. Sky City and the Auckland Tower are a few minutes walk away. Queen Street is also around 5 to 10 minutes walk. The harbour, ferry services and Marina are all within easy reach, around 15 minutes walk. In the opposite direction the Adelaide War Memorial and Winter Gardens are a 30 to 40 minute walk and should not be missed. The walk is enjoyable but a bus service also operates from the City Bus Station which is literally a 5 minute walk away, just across the road. This station also serves the airport and inter city buses for travel throughout New Zealand. An ideal location a fabulous hotel. I'm booked to come back and stay again next month.
