I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms were disappointing with minimal space and lack of details. The location was convenient, but the dining options were overpriced compared to nearby alternatives.

My room was dismally small with the barest of details, and to make matters worse, there was no remote for the TV to work properly. However, thanks to the considerate staff, I was moved to a quieter room.

The hotel's location was excellent, right in the heart of Auckland CBD near many key attractions. The rooms were not as expected, with a view of a nearby backpackers hotel's back wall and noise disturbances at night, although they were an improvement from the initial room. The service was friendly, especially the reception staff, and the service quality was great. The dining was decent but not exceptional, offering satisfactory meals. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.

Despite some noise from outside, the hotel offers clean and adequate rooms. The service was friendly and helpful, with a mix of experiences. The location is great for exploring the city but may be noisy at times. The dining options are decent, but there are many nearby cafes to try. Overall, a good value for the price paid.

Rooms

The rooms seemed clean and small but adequate. However, they were not soundproof, leading to disturbances from street noise. Opting for an air-conditioned room required an extra £50 per night, which isn't ideal for those on a budget while backpacking.

The hotel is conveniently located right in the middle of Queen St, close to the Sky Tower, Ferries, restaurants, and the intercity bus station. The rooms are simple and comfortable, but very small with limited space, making it more suitable for one person than a couple or family. The service is exceptionally friendly, especially towards regular guests, making you feel right at home. The dining options are varied and delicious, catering well to all tastes, with great value for the price.
