Urban Rest Sylvia Park Apartments
This place is absolutely perfect for anyone looking to explore Auckland without breaking the bank. Right next to Sylvia Park Shopping Centre, everything you need—from dining and shopping to a nearby Pak’n Save supermarket—is just steps away. The apartment itself is brand new, spotlessly clean, and incredibly well-equipped with a full kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, fridge, washing machine, dryer, and even a hairdryer—everything you’d want for a comfortable stay. Security is top-notch: access to the building, elevator, and your own unit all require a unique code, so you always feel safe. Bonus points for free outdoor parking—huge plus if you’re driving. The only thing to note is that slippers aren’t provided, but bringing your own is a quick fix. Prices are noticeably lower than central Auckland hotels, yet the value and comfort level are way above expectations. Honestly, this place delivers more happiness per dollar than most places I’ve stayed in. A must-try if you're visiting Auckland.
Waipuna Hotel & Conference Centre
We had a wonderful weekend family getaway in Auckland, and choosing Waipuna Hotel & Conference Centre through the platform was one of our best decisions. The location is perfect—just a short walk from Sylvia Park shopping area, making it super convenient for dining out and picking up essentials with kids. I booked the most budget-friendly twin room, but it was surprisingly spacious and came with a bathtub. The view from the window was stunning—sitting by the window with my daughter enjoying afternoon tea while watching the sun rise was such a peaceful moment. The hotel sits right beside a beautiful lake, and just a few minutes’ walk leads to a lovely lakeside playground where our little one could run around and burn off energy—definitely helped her sleep better that night. Breakfast is served in a lakeside buffet setting with great views. While the variety isn’t on par with high-end hotels back home, it’s actually quite generous considering the price point. Fresh fruit, pastries, eggs, toast, and coffee—all satisfyingly good. Overall, the atmosphere is calm and welcoming, staff are friendly, and the whole experience felt authentic and relaxing. A real hidden gem in Auckland, and I’d definitely come back.
Ellerslie Palms Motel
I accidentally left my wallet behind in the room after checking out on March 10, containing Australian cash and a bank card. When I returned to the hotel the next day, it was still safely there waiting for me. A special thanks goes to a young male staff member who worked on Sunday—he patiently listened to my story, took me back to the room, and helped locate the wallet right away. His kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s rare to encounter such genuine care from hotel staff, especially when no one was expecting anything in return. This experience made my stay memorable not just because of the comfortable rooms or convenient location, but because of the people who made me feel valued. The entire team deserves recognition—this level of service is exactly what makes a great hotel. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending Ellerslie Palms Motel to friends and family.

The whole experience felt personal and welcoming, and the hotel’s location made exploring Auckland a breeze. It’s rare to find such a high level of comfort and hospitality in one place. I’ll definitely be returning.
Sylvia Park Motel
My friends and I had an excellent stay at Sylvia Park Motel. We requested early check-in due to our friend’s morning flight arrival, and the staff went above and beyond by having our room ready right when we arrived—just before noon. That was incredibly helpful and appreciated. The room itself was spotless, well-maintained, and felt very welcoming. What stood out was the kitchenette with a stovetop, which allowed us to reheat our pre-cooked meals easily—perfect for saving time and money. The location is convenient, close to public transit, and the whole experience felt relaxing and hassle-free. Highly recommend this motel for travelers who value comfort, cleanliness, and thoughtful service.
