“Fantastic Views over Auckland!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

We stayed here on our wedding night. The staff were very kind and helpful. We had immediate help with our luggage. We were still in our wedding clothes, and the staff congratulated us on our marriage and couldn't have been more helpful. The room was spacious and well appointed. The views over Auckland were magnificent. If I was going to be very picky, I would only say that the shower was over the bath and a bit cramped. The bed was very very comfy, with a thick mattress and warm covers.

Room Tip: Ask for as high up as you can get. We were on the 18th floor (Penthouse is 20th) and the views acros...

“PERFECT STOPOVER WITH A VIEW.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

I can't remember what floor we were on but we had an excellent view of Auckland.
Room was well equipped, clean and modern. Staff were helpful and although we didn't use the restaurant, it looked very nice. All this, plus, only a ten minute walk to the beach!

Room Tip: Ask for a city view room.

“Great family rooms”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

Stayed over CHristmas for 2 nights but have stayed many other times. The staff are very friendly and the rooms are excellent value for money. Buffet breakfast is great. Recommend the location, views and hospitality.

Room Tip: Higher floors have better views - no matter which side lake, sea of city.

“Incredible views and friendly service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed at the Spencer for 3 nights over the Christmas break, the most amazing view from the apartment, out the bedroom you could see the harbour and city skyline, and from the living room the hauraki gulf and rangitoto. Lobby and restaurant looked as though they had been refurbished, and the service and food at breakfast was great. Service in general was always very friendly and efficient, room service arrived quickly. It also has a great pool and spa area with views to the city. The slight negatives, (but the positives far outweighted these) was the room itself looked a bit tired, and could do with a refurb to modernise it - especially the TV was very old and the shower leaked onto the floor. However apart from this I would definately recommend this hotel, as great value for money with views and service to match, as for myself I would not hesitate to return so it gets my tick of approval.
