“Good hotel, worth a visit.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

Stayed three nights in this hotel in a king room. Enjoyed my stay. In a good location. Quite near the city express bus stop. Be prepared for a short walk up a steep hill!
Room modern and clean. Has a bath and shower.
In a good location for shops and restaurants.
I had lunch at the fortuna buffet got there quite late. Only chicken or ham available at carvery, new Zealand and no lamb.baas!!!
Would recommend this hotel.

“Weekend escape to Skycity”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

We took a weekend escaEepe to Auckland for the weekend. The staff at Sky City were helpful and very friendly.The venue is fantastic with everything under one roof, if you wanted to you could be kept amused without leaving the building.The hotel is busy but I expect they were a little quiter due to Auckland aniversery weekend.The casino was fun and the sky jump is a must do if you have a spare $200 to play with.
Thanks Sky City hotel for a great weekend.

“early 90s rundown and not overly impressive”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

Apparently a 4star residence, it's very dated and cheesy.
Not great value for money, pay slightly more for the Skycity Grand or skip altogether and go for the Heritage, similar price and nicer.
Also, the Sky Tower isn't really central Auckland.... most of the bars and restaurants are down the hill at britomart or viaduct area, this is quite a walk to and from and good luck getting a taxi to take you such a short distance!!

Dear "jumboshrimpy"

Thank you for your constructive review of SKYCITY Hotel.

We take great pride in our products & services and continue to improve our facilities with various refurbishments.

Since your last visit in June 2011, here at SKYCITY we have been busy completing the development of 4 new Restaurants and Bars and the refurbishment of the popular Fortuna buffet restaurant.

Many visitors find the SKYTower, an Auckland icon, central and in the heart of the city and I am disappointed you felt otherwise.

We look forward to welcoming you back at SKYCITY and I trust you will enjoy selecting one of the 24 Bars and Restaurants on site.

Kind Regards,

“Big rooms - very comfortable - centrally located”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

We spent a night in the Hotel. The rooms are large with good sized bathrooms. The front desk was understaffed and as a result it took a while to check in. The staff are very helpful. we were there in the first week of January and all the restaurants were not open but those that were provided good service.

This is a great hotel to stay at if you are in Auckland. I would stay there again.

Room Tip: Try and get a room with a harbour view.

The staff at Sky City are awesome. Nothing is a problem and they are always willing to help. Special mention to concierge Tiki who had things done even before you knew you wanted them done.
