The Quadrant Hotel & Suites
The Quadrant Hotel & Suites offers excellent value for money and truly has everything you need. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-equipped with facilities like a kitchenette, laundry options, and comfortable seating—perfect for longer stays or self-catering. The overall environment is spotless and welcoming. However, one aspect stood out negatively: the front desk staff’s attitude during our check-out process. We had just left the room and needed to quickly return to store our luggage before heading into the city to pick up some souvenirs. There was no one else around, and we weren’t blocking anything—we were as quick and considerate as possible. Despite that, the staff reacted with clear impatience, rushing us with sharp tones and uninviting body language. It felt unnecessarily harsh, especially since we weren’t causing any disruption. A little more empathy and flexibility would have made a big difference in our experience. That said, the hotel’s comfort, location, and amenities still make it a solid choice. With better guest service, this could easily be a 10/10 stay.
Ibis Auckland Ellerslie
I stayed at ibis Auckland Ellerslie during a trade show at Auckland Showgrounds, and the experience was excellent. The hotel is conveniently located near public transport—easy to reach by taxi, bus, or even on foot—and just a short walk from the train station, making it simple to get into the city center. I especially appreciated that the facilities, including the restaurant and gym, are shared with the nearby Novotel, offering more space and better amenities without extra cost. The staff at Acacia Restaurant went above and beyond when I had an allergic reaction—they responded quickly and offered genuine help, which made me feel safe and cared for. It’s also reassuring knowing there’s a private hospital right behind the property, giving peace of mind if needed. Overall, this is a well-located, comfortable, and thoughtful choice for business travelers and tourists alike.

Spent an overnight staycation in Auckland for the Cabaret Festival, and Marsden Viaduct Hotel exceeded all expectations. The room was stunning—bright, stylish, and with a gorgeous balcony overlooking the viaduct, perfect for morning coffee or evening views.

It’s wonderfully located just a short walk from vibrant restaurants, bars, and the iconic railway bridge—feeling like you’re on holiday without leaving the city center. The staff were warm and attentive, adding to the welcoming vibe. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Auckland.
Parklane Motor Lodge
Staying at Parklane Motor Lodge was a fantastic experience. The hotel is incredibly quiet, making it perfect for a peaceful getaway. The only minor drawback is the lack of an elevator, but since the building is low-rise, walking up the stairs isn’t an issue. What really stands out is the convenient location—there are several supermarkets nearby, so grabbing groceries or snacks is super easy. Plus, it’s just a 15-minute walk to One Tree Hill Park, ideal for a morning stroll or an evening hike with great views of Auckland. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Overall, this place offers excellent value for money and a relaxing atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Auckland who wants a quiet, hassle-free stay.

I actually enjoyed learning the local public transport system along the way! The hotel itself has over 100 years of history, so the structure shows its age, but the interior is well-maintained and thoughtfully designed. The room was cozy with a small fridge and excellent hot water supply—perfect for a relaxing stay. The manager was incredibly friendly and engaging, making personal recommendations and sharing stories about the area with genuine warmth. It’s clear they care about guest experience. All in all, this boutique gem offers great value, charm, and character—definitely worth returning to.

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.
