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 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.

The staff were welcoming and attentive, going the extra mile to make us feel at home. Located just steps from the subway, it’s super convenient for getting around Auckland.

Kohimarama Beach Bed & Breakfast

I only had a day in Auckland and needed a place to store my bags while going for a run. The friendly host opened the door right away and even let me continue my training right there at the property—such a thoughtful touch! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the location is unbeatable, just steps from the beach with fresh sea air all around. It’s amazing how much comfort and convenience you can get in such a peaceful spot. I’ll definitely come back if I ever visit Auckland again.

Boulevard Hotel

We stayed in a family room with our kids, and the space was absolutely spacious—perfect for us with one queen bed and a single bed. The bedding was clean and fresh, and the bathroom was spotless. Having 24-hour hot water made mornings so convenient, especially when we wanted a quick cup of tea or coffee. The room came equipped with a kettle, microwave, toaster, and fridge—ideal for preparing simple breakfasts without leaving the hotel. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better: just an 8-minute walk to Westfield Shopping Centre, a 3-minute stroll to the bus stop (with routes 30, 70, and 309 directly connecting to the city center), and only 10 minutes to Newmarket Train Station. Everything is within easy reach, making travel around Auckland super smooth. We loved the comfort, cleanliness, and practicality of this place. Highly recommend it for families looking for convenience and value—definitely booking here again on our next visit.

La Quinta by Wyndham Ellerslie Auckland

The location is excellent—perfect for business travelers like me and my colleagues. It's just a short walk from our office, making it incredibly convenient for quick check-ins and early morning meetings. The hotel is brand new and immaculately clean, with a modern, welcoming vibe. What really stands out is the prompt service—emails are answered almost instantly, which makes planning and coordination stress-free. This has become our go-to choice for every Auckland trip, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for reliability, comfort, and efficiency in a business-friendly setting.

Albert Accommodation

My stay at Albert Accommodation in Auckland wasn’t what I expected. The room was outdated, with basic furnishings and a noticeably weak air conditioning unit. To make matters worse, I experienced a theft during my stay. After reporting it to the police, the hotel refused to provide any CCTV footage, claiming no suspicious individuals were spotted. They also declined a refund for the unused portion of my stay, despite the circumstances. While the location is convenient—close to public transit and downtown—it’s hard to overlook the lack of security and poor customer service. For the price, you’d expect better care and transparency. I wouldn’t recommend this property to others, especially if safety and reliability are priorities.

Epsom Motel

Staying at Epsom Motel was an absolute delight! The place is spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The staff went above and beyond—personally escorted me to my room, showed me how to operate the heating and air conditioning, and gave a thorough rundown of nearby supermarkets, shops, and public transport options. What really stood out was the availability of Chinese-speaking staff, making communication seamless and stress-free. It’s clear they care about guest comfort and convenience. With excellent value for money and a prime location in Auckland, this motel is a top choice for any traveler. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend it!

Aachen House Boutique

Staying at Aachen House Boutique was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Westfield shopping centre and Mt. Eden, with countless great restaurants just one block away. The neighbourhood itself feels safe, quiet, and full of charm, making it one of the most desirable areas in Auckland. The owners are genuinely warm and welcoming—so kind and thoughtful, it feels like staying at a friend’s home rather than a hotel. The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and well-appointed, offering a perfect balance of comfort and style. If you're looking for a unique boutique experience with a personal touch, this place is a must-try. I can’t recommend it enough—there’s something special about every detail here that truly makes your stay unforgettable.
