“A Bargain with Breakfast”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

Stayed here one night before flying home. We actually had a two bedroom unit with very small bedrooms (one was an interior room), but we only needed one bed, so it was OK. Living-room area was quite large, with couch, desk, kitchenette. Washer/dryer in the bathroom (we did not use it). We thought the breakfast was very good, with plenty of variety. We had a shower drainage problem which was addressed promptly but apparently not permanently - it was slow draining again the next morning. Desk staff was not able to recommend restaurants, just general direction to walk. Convenient to Sky City if you want to go there. If we return to Auckland, I would stay a bit close to the wharf area if we could find a place as economical.

“Great hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

this hotel had one of the best facilities in a room, we had a dishwasher, washer and tumble dryer, comfortable and clean room. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful and the location was near the Sky Tower - where we had Christmas lunch and the Wharf.

“Great location dirty rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

The apartments are in a fantastic location and they are spacious enough but our room was quite dirty the curtains were covered in dirt and the bedding did not seem fresh also no space left in car park so we had to pay $30 to park in a street carpark nearby

Dear Sam,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about our property.

I appreciate your concerns about the housekeeping and your feedback will be used to conduct further training with our team. I believe it was the cleanliness that you are most disappointed in. I can assure you that your concerns have been addressed.

Car Parking in central Auckland is precious and it is vital you pre-book a car park with us on your next visit to avoid disappointment. I can assure you if we had space we would have happily accommodated your car.

Take care and safe travels.

Udai Sarin

“Great Value apartments for exploring Auckland”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

Great position near the sky tower which was excellent for us as had to catch an early inter city bus from just down the road. Arrived early and had good luggage storage until we could check in. Was upgraded to 2 bedroom apartment. Great facilities with LCD TV, DVD, Kitchenette, Washer drier, Difficult to fault. Breakfast quite good although scone not great. Reception staff helpful, friendly & efficient. Great value for money. Would stay again & recommend.

“Great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We found this hotel just great. 15 minutes walk from the harbour and ferry terminal, and 25 minutes from Auckland Museum. It is clean, friendly and the small apartment was just excellent for a 3 night stay with breakfast delivered to the room the night before so you can eat when you want; a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine (a little bit too technical for us - we shrank a couple of shirts!). Perfect for the traveller who doesn't want to eat out every night or have a schedule for breakfast.
