Rydges Auckland, an EVT hotel
My one-night stay at Rydges Auckland was absolutely fantastic, especially being right in the heart of the city. The main reason for our visit was to catch a concert at Spark Arena—just a 1.5km walk away, making it super convenient. The hotel's location was unbeatable, and the best part? Our room had a stunning view of the Sky Tower, which made the experience even more memorable. Despite being in such a prime spot, the rates were very reasonable—great value for money. Clean rooms, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere made this stay stand out. I’d highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Auckland, whether for events or just exploring the city.
Auckland Harbour Suites
Staying at Auckland Harbour Suites was an absolute delight, especially given the unbeatable location. Just a 2-minute walk from the iconic building housing the US visa office, it's perfectly positioned for both business and leisure travelers. I booked through the platform, and honestly, the price-to-location ratio is outstanding—this kind of convenience at this rate is hard to beat. Some reviews mentioned no air conditioning, but there is actually an air conditioner fan in the room. It does make some noise when running, so if you're out exploring or just prefer not to stay indoors all day, it’s not a major issue. The daytime cooling might be limited, but again, most guests won’t spend long in the room anyway. Parking is super accessible with multiple lots nearby—staying overnight (until 8 AM next day) plus a couple of extra hours costs around $50, which feels fair. Overall, if you're looking for a central, well-connected, and budget-friendly stay in Auckland with easy access to the harbor and city center, this hotel delivers on every front.
Nesuto St Martins Apartment Hotel
The apartment was spacious and bright, making the entire stay incredibly comfortable. Located just a short walk from the metro station, getting around Auckland was effortless—whether heading into the city center or to the airport, everything was well-connected and convenient. What truly stood out was the outstanding value for money. Compared to other similar accommodations in the area, this place offers far better quality and pricing. I’d absolutely stay here again on my next visit to Auckland and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great balance of comfort, location, and affordability.
Sleek Modern Studio with Balcony by Zodiak Stays
Staying at this sleek modern studio was a fantastic experience, especially given its unbeatable location in Auckland. The building itself has a contemporary vibe and feels very well-maintained. I loved how walkable everything was—restaurants, cafes, shopping spots, and nearby attractions were just a short stroll away. The balcony was a real highlight; perfect for morning coffee or unwinding after a day of exploring. Even though the space is compact, it’s thoughtfully designed with modern touches that make it feel spacious and inviting. It’s an ideal choice for travelers who want convenience without sacrificing style. Would definitely book again.
Ibis Budget Auckland Central
The location couldn’t be better—just steps away from the city center, with easy access to public transit and plenty of restaurants nearby. The rooms are small but perfectly cozy, spotlessly clean, and the beds are incredibly comfortable—great for a good night’s sleep. What really stood out was the 24/7 self-serve tea and coffee station at reception—so convenient and a lovely touch! The staff were fantastic—special shout-out to Daniel, Brian, and Tina for their warm hospitality and attention to detail. They went above and beyond to make our stay smooth and enjoyable. The hotel is very accommodating, and getting an Uber or catching a bus to explore the city was effortless. If you're looking for a reliable, well-located, and friendly base in Auckland, this is it—highly recommend!
Ascotia Off Queen
This was our first stay at Ascotia Off Queen, and we were thoroughly impressed with the experience. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome throughout our two-night visit. (Quick note: the deposit is $250, not the $100 listed on the platform—we paid in cash and got it fully refunded upon checkout with zero hassle.) On the ground floor, opposite reception, there’s a cozy dining area offering both à la carte and buffet options, all priced fairly and served with care. Parking is limited, so booking ahead is strongly advised. We had no trouble finding a spot, though tight for larger vehicles—still manageable. Our room was compact but spotless and comfortable. The bed was clean and supportive, and the bathroom amenities—shampoo, body wash, and lotion—were thoughtfully provided. The only minor downside was limited storage space for luggage and a very small trash bin. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations. Great location, excellent service, and a really welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!
City Lodge Accommodation
Staying at City Lodge Accommodation in Auckland was an absolute highlight of my trip! The location is fantastic—just a short walk from Queen Street and the waterfront, making it super convenient for exploring the city. I arrived from the international airport via the North Line train and then transferred to the NX1 bus, which took about an hour. With an AT Hop card, the fare was only around $5—great value for such a smooth journey. The room is on the smaller side, but perfectly functional with smart space utilization. What really stood out was the shared kitchen—it’s fully equipped and perfect for cooking up a storm. I even joined a group of fellow travelers to make and bake pizza together (check photos 2 and 3)—such a fun, social vibe! The area right outside the front door (photo 1) is clean, safe, and welcoming. Plus, the building is quiet at night, so sleep quality was excellent. Overall, this place offers great value, a friendly atmosphere, and unbeatable convenience. Ideal for solo travelers or small groups looking to connect and explore Auckland like a local.
Classic 3 Bedroom Home near Ponsonby Rd
We absolutely loved our stay at the Classic 3 Bedroom Home near Ponsonby Rd! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Ponsonby Road’s vibrant cafes, boutiques, and restaurants. The home itself was spacious, clean, and thoughtfully furnished with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, whether it was a weekend getaway or longer visit. The three bedrooms made it perfect for our family group, and the kitchen was well-equipped for cooking meals at home. Great value for money, and the neighborhood felt safe and lively. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a cozy, convenient, and authentic Auckland experience.
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!
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.
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.
