I lived in Auckland for more than 20 years until I took up an assignment in the Pacific. I was back home for a visit and needed a place to stay for four days. After much reading of reviews and comparing of hotel options, I nervously booked the Celestion Waldorf. I couldn't have chosen better! The receptionist was friendly and welcoming and I was upgraded to a two bedroom apartment which made for a great start. It was new, very clean and tastefully furnished, surprisingly quiet for an inner city apartment. I even had a small view of the harbour from my sunny balcony. For me the location was perfect, close to the Les Mills Britomart gym, a large supermarket with extended shopping hours, the waterfront, Queen Street and the High Street shops...I didn't need a car. I would recommend it without hesitation and will definitely stay there again.
