We stayed here during the RWC and found its location to be excellent.. just 3 streets over from Queen street with direct access to the Harbour and the Sky Tower around the corner. Our expectations were not high due to the previous comments posted and the price was not inflated, like other hotels, for the influx of tourists for the... More

I stayed a 'Budget Studio' here, which is one up from the most basic room. It wasn't too small, but the window looked straight out onto another wall - you couldn't even tell if it was raining through that window! I was a bit unimpressed as I thought I'd paid a little extra for the privilege of a window, but... More

I stayed for one night before an early flight out of Auckland...so I saw it as a brief, handy stopover. I knew I had one of the cheaper rooms so I wasn't expecting much, but it compared very badly with places I've paid less for in other parts of New Zealand....and indeed, other parts of Auckland. My room was dingy,... More

We were staying in Auckland for a concert at Vector Arena. This was a short drive away and probably a 15min walk. We moved hotels last minute so the only room they had left had no windows. This was an interesting experience as it always seemed to be night and fine for the price we were paying. We paid $99... More

Stayed at the Rainbow (has now changed it's name to Sail City) for a couple of nights on my arrival in New Zealand. Staff and nearly all of the guests seem to be Chinese, but the desk staff spoke reasonable English and were helpful. Room was small but adequate. It was at the back of the hotel overlooking the airconditioning... More

This hotel has a great location. Right next to Sky City. Because of this, it is extremely noisy. All night, you will hear motorcycles racing by on the street. We encountered a number of problems at the hotel: -The room we were initially given reeked of cigarette smoke--despite the hotel being 'non-smoking.' -The shower did not drain properly. Both of...

Dumpy hotel, but it was clean, cheap, and I got a good sleep. I was expecting much worse given the somewhat dim and low-class tenement looking hallway (with the fire door propped open with a wood plank so the guests could smoke out there), but the room was fine. Walls were thin and you could hear guests walking by down... More
