My wife and I stayed at the property for two night recently. This is a property I really enjoy staying at for business or pleasure. It is well located to the city as well as Newmarket and Parnell in a very quiet road.When you arrive you can park your car at the front of the property where we always got a space and there is no parking cost. The rooms are very spacious and we had two large double beds and a lounge area where they had a range of guests magazines to enjoy. Great touch. Staff are extremely helpful. We eat in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner which we offered a good range of products. I am gluten intolerant which they catered for well. Highly recommend their omelettes! We will be back!

I make frequent use of Barrycourt when visiting Auckland, for business or for family visits. Its central location, free parking, comfortable facilities, friendly and helpful staff and reasonable pricing make it a firm favourite. I would recommend this for business, family and tourist visitors to Auckland.

we stayed for two nights in January 2012. The rooms are adequate, though my partner slipped and hurt herself in the bathroom because of the slippery floor. The views are good though and the cleaners friendly and efficient!

We chose to eat in the restaurant on the 2nd evening, and had one of the worst meals we've had in a long time. After 3/4 hour, and after I'd asked how long it would be before our food was ready, the waiter put a bowl of butter on the table, for no apparant reason, as neither of us were having bread. When I asked later what the butter was for, admitted he didn't know. My partner had prawn gumbo, which she described as Maggi soup with prawns added. I had steak, which was tough and vegetables which weren't cooked. On paying, they asked how the meal was, I said it wasn't good, presuming that they would ask why. Instead, they just took the money. By that time I was too fed up to complain further.

Stayed for 4 nights in November after being in Australia for the previous two weeks. Found the Barrycourt price to be good value vs what we paid in Oz. Tip - book on the Barrycourt website, not the North American Choice Hotels site, prices were better on the Barrycourt site. Had a balcony room that looked out toward the harbour. Parnell Road area is quite nice, trendy restaurants and shops and pleasant though hilly for walking around. Good bus service to downtown Auckland. Also within walking distance of the museum. Front desk and housekeeping service was competent and professional. Hotel restaurant was acceptable although for the prices you may as well go somewhere on Parnell Road. Good bakery and useful small grocery and fruit store at top of the hill on Parnell Rd and St Stephens close to the hotel.

Only downside was noise at night coming in bathroom window which opens out onto the outside walkway as returning guests went from the elevator to their rooms. Good stay, we would recommend it to anyone except maybe those who insist on the newest and trendiest accomodations in town.
