Pullman Auckland Hotel & Apartments

Staying here was an absolute pleasure—right in the heart of Auckland with easy access to everything. The hotel is just a short walk from the city center, and public transport options are super convenient. I loved how close I was to restaurants, shops, and local attractions—perfect for exploring on foot. The apartment-style rooms were spacious, clean, and well-equipped with modern amenities. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I slept like a baby every night. What stood out most was the excellent value for money—great quality without the high price tag. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the 24-hour front desk gave me peace of mind. If you're visiting Auckland, this is definitely a top choice. I’ll be back!

Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour

Staying at Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour was an absolute delight. Located right by the waterfront, the views from the room were stunning—especially in the morning when the sun hit the harbor. The area is bustling with great dining options, so you never have to go far for a good meal. I’m actually planning to compare it with Park Hyatt on my next trip, but this stay already left me thoroughly impressed. The service was attentive without being overbearing, the room was elegant and spacious, and the overall atmosphere felt luxurious yet welcoming. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of comfort, location, and style. If you’re visiting Auckland, this hotel is definitely worth considering—it’s not just a place to sleep, it’s an experience.

Braemar on Parliament St

Staying at Braemar on Parliament St felt like stepping into a real-life storybook. This beautifully preserved colonial-style townhouse in central Auckland exudes charm from the moment you walk in—every corner, from the living room to the bedrooms, is filled with vintage elegance and character. It’s not just a place to sleep; it’s an immersive experience of Kiwi lifestyle. Though some rooms have shared bathrooms or only partial privacy (with screens), cleanliness was spotless—each space was meticulously cleaned daily. The host, a warm-hearted local elder with a sharp wit and endless stories, made every interaction feel personal and genuine. Breakfast was a highlight: a classic English spread with fresh salads, toasted bread, homemade jams, and perfectly cooked eggs and bacon tailored to your preference. What stood out most? The world map by the dining area, covered in pins from guests across continents—it’s proof this place truly feels like home away from home. Located on a quiet street just steps from the university and a peaceful park, it’s both serene and incredibly convenient for exploring the city. If you’re after authenticity, comfort, and a touch of old-world charm, this is a must-try. Just be aware: if you expect modern amenities and full en-suite bathrooms, it might not match those expectations. But for a unique, heartfelt stay, it’s absolutely worth it.

The Esplanade Hotel

Staying at The Esplanade Hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish. The room was beautifully designed—spotless, stylish, and filled with a charming vintage vibe that made the stay feel truly special. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better: just a short walk to the city center, with easy access to public transit, restaurants, and top attractions. The views from the upper floors are breathtaking—especially the sea panorama that stretches out beyond the windows. Every detail, from the welcoming staff to the thoughtful touches in the room, showed excellent attention to quality. Service was prompt, professional, and genuinely warm. This place offers outstanding value and unforgettable comfort—highly recommend for anyone visiting Auckland.

Kiwi International Hotel

We booked a three-bed room for our business trip, and the Kiwi International Hotel had exactly what we needed—one room with two beds and another with a single bed. The rooms were spacious and comfortable for all three of us, with no feeling of crowding. The hotel’s location is fantastic—just a short walk from the Sky Tower and close to public transit, making it super convenient for exploring Auckland. We also appreciated the free parking, which was a big plus since we drove in. Everything about the stay was top-notch: clean rooms, friendly staff, and excellent value. I’d definitely stay here again on future visits to Auckland. Highly recommended!

Auckland City Hotel

Staying at the Auckland City Hotel on Hobson Street was a fantastic experience. The layout is unique—two-story rooms with a kitchen and living area downstairs, plus two bedrooms upstairs and one bathroom located on the second floor. It’s not your typical hotel setup, but it works really well for families or groups who want more space and privacy. Being in the city center, having free parking is a huge plus—just let the front desk know when you arrive, and they’ll open the gate for you. The breakfast buffet is generous and delicious, offering a great start to the day. Plus, the location is unbeatable—walking distance to shops, restaurants, and attractions. I’d highly recommend this place if you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and a little bit of local charm in central Auckland.

Surf 'N' Snow Backpackers

My colleague raved about this place, so I gave it a try — and honestly, it exceeded my expectations! This was my first time staying at a hostel-style accommodation, and the location couldn’t be better — right in the heart of Auckland. Just steps from the door, there’s a big supermarket, and major attractions like the iconic Sky Tower are only a 5- to 10-minute walk away. The best part? There’s a shared kitchen on one floor where guests can cook their own meals using fresh ingredients from the nearby store. It’s perfect for travelers who want flexibility and a bit of home comfort while exploring the city. I came alone, and this place made my trip feel personal, safe, and fun. If you’re looking for a great mix of convenience, affordability, and social vibes, this is definitely the spot. I’ll be back — no doubt.

I couldn’t be more satisfied with this hotel! The room was spacious and impeccably clean, offering plenty of room to move around—no cramped feeling at all. The location is excellent: just a short walk from great dining options, and public transit is super convenient. I’ve already recommended it to friends, and they all agreed—it’s truly exceptional. Everyone in my group loved the comfort, service, and overall vibe. It’s rare to find a hotel that delivers on every level, but this one absolutely does. If I’m ever back in Auckland, this will be my first choice again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality, convenience, and a memorable stay.

Edit Auckland Central

Stayed at this hotel from September 11th for six nights, and I’ve returned after a gap—definitely glad I did. Last time I was on the ground floor; this time I stayed on the top floor, and the views were absolutely stunning with a wide-open outlook over the city. Being right in the heart of Auckland makes getting around incredibly convenient—everything is within walking distance or just a short ride away. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any request. As a solo traveler, their support made a big difference and really eased my stay. The room was spotless, spacious, and had a comfortable queen-sized bed that allowed me to sleep soundly each night. One minor downside: the area in front of the hotel has a steep slope, and there’s ongoing construction nearby, which made hauling heavy luggage a bit of a challenge. But honestly, it’s such a small issue compared to the overall experience. Great location, excellent service, and fantastic value—highly recommend for anyone visiting Auckland.
