“Auckland Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

this is a great Hotel which I come back time and again as I like it because it is close to everything that is going around the city. It is at the top end so it is nice to walk down to the waterfront, but close enough to enjoy the Aotea Centre, for concerts and the Civic theatre for shows. There is car parking next door which is a bit on the expensive side, but we could just go in and out as much as we liked in a day for the daily rate. the Hotel has international Foodcourt downstairs and many places around to eat. I believe the food is very nice in the restaurant but not enough evenings to try it out. Sleeping was interrupted with roadworks outside our window. In our rooms we could have had a some ground coffee instead of instant.

We were there for a family wedding and it was easy to go and get makeup and hair done just very close by.

Room Tip: Make sure you have a room that you dont get woken by roadworks.

“Nothing special”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012 via mobile

Nice big bedroom and comfortable bed; important in any hotel. Views of the city are good too.

However, constant jack hammer noise (worst in the lobby & reception) as they are demolishing part of the building next door and rebuild the road and approach to the hotel, card keys that even the chambermaid & reception guy couldn't get to work, despite trying 5 or 6 times and surly female reception staff (probably driven crazy by the heavy drilling noise all day) plus the tacky shopping centre wouldn't make me stay here again in a hurry. Unless I can find an alternative, once the improvements are finished in April might come back I suppose. Have stayed at quite a few different Auckland hotels. Now that my favourite, the Hyatt has morphed into a Pullman hotel and the Hilton is a rip off price wise. it's hard to get a quality hotel that's reasonable in Auckland.

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at Crowne Plaza Auckland. We are
pleased that overall you found the room and bed to be comfortable and enjoyed the views over
the city.

It is unfortunate that there is some building work being conducted at the front of the adjacent
building along with some resurfacing of the hotel driveway. The hotel is working with the
construction crew at the adjacent building to ensure that any noise is limited to reasonable
daytime/business hours to avoid impact on our guests. The finished product however will offer a much better arrival experience for guests and visitors coming to the hotel.

Your feedback has been passed on to our front of house team as part of our commitment to
continual improvement, training and development of our staff.

I hope that you do stay with us on your next visit to Auckland, and allow us to show that you have
indeed found your new favorite hotel in Auckland.

Thank you again for your time and feedback, best regards

“A nice hotel in central Auckland - As you would expect”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

For an international hotel chain the service, rooms and style are as you would expect.

The location is great and the car park is easy to reach.

There were however a couple of downsides for us:

1) The walls were thin, our neighbour had their wall mounted tv on full volume and we could hear every word, we did call reception and to their credit, they did resolve the matter but you would not expect to hear the tv on the otherside of the wall

2) The hotel is currently undergoing a referb. We were woken at 7.30am by workmen drilling and banging but it didnt ruin our stay but worth noting if you plan to stay between now and April 12 (when expected to complete referb)

Room Tip: Ask for a higher floor room to avoid road noise

Many thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We are pleased that we have met your
expectations in a number of key areas including the service, rooms and style. We are
often complimented on our location and is proximity to Auckland City’s best attractions
and entertainment.

We are sorry that you found the noise from the adjacent room to be a disturbance. Noise
from other guests can occasionally be an issue and we are pleased that you raised it with
our staff who were able to resolve the matter quickly.

Please also accept our apologies for the disturbance caused by the construction noise. The
hotel is working with the building crew for the adjacent site to keep noise to a minimum.
I am glad that it did not ruin your stay.

Crowne Plaza Auckland has a unique feature whereby the guest rooms begin from the
16th floor, giving a buffer to any street noise that may occur in the CBD.

Thank you again and best regards.

“Consistent Quality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

This was our second stay at the Crowne Plaza in Auckland and again we were not disappointed. There is construction work going on next door but we did not experience any noise or inconvenience from it. The rooms are well apointed and the shower is excellent. Only negative is the charge for internet access which I always think is a cheek from any hotel.

“Great location but a bit average”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012 via mobile

The hotel is very well located, but Auckland CBD is not that big anyway. The rooms are good, the breakfasts are OK but it lacks any athmosphere or sense of place. Just another well run hotel.
