LyLo Auckland, an EVT Hotel
Staying at LyLo Auckland was a fantastic experience overall. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from major city attractions, with easy access to bus stops, the ferry terminal, and nearby supermarkets. The room was clean, quiet, and well-designed with individual capsule-style beds and secure lockers, offering great privacy and peace of mind. Bathrooms and toilets are plentiful and kept immaculately clean, which is always a plus in shared accommodations. I appreciated the free luggage storage option—perfect for early arrivals or late departures. The only downsides were the small, slightly cluttered kitchen with limited facilities, and only two hairdryers available for all guests, which caused some inconvenience during peak times. Still, these minor issues don’t take away from the excellent value and comfort this property offers. Highly recommend for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location and cleanliness.
Verandahs Parkside Lodge
Staying at Verandahs Parkside Lodge was an absolute delight. The property is immaculately clean and thoughtfully maintained, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The host went above and beyond by personally showing us around the surroundings, sharing local insights, hidden gems, and nearby attractions with genuine enthusiasm. It felt less like a stay and more like being welcomed into a local’s home. Located just minutes from public transit, it’s easy to explore Auckland’s vibrant city center, while still enjoying a quiet, peaceful retreat. The attention to detail, combined with such a friendly and knowledgeable host, made this experience truly special. If you’re looking for a comfortable, authentic, and well-located place to stay in Auckland, this is a must-book.
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!
Abaco on Jervois
Staying at Abaco on Jervois was an absolute pleasure. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from public transit, with a petrol station right next door and several cozy cafes across the street. The parking is conveniently located onsite, which is a huge plus when traveling by car. The apartment itself is well-maintained, clean, and thoughtfully furnished with modern amenities. It’s hard to find such a great balance of comfort, convenience, and value in this price range. I’ll definitely be returning on my next trip to Auckland—and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hassle-free, stylish stay.
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.
Deluxe Waterfront & City Apartment
Staying at this stunning waterfront apartment was an absolute highlight of my trip to Auckland.

Everything I needed was within walking distance: restaurants, cafes, shops, and public transport were all close by. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with modern amenities. I especially appreciated having a full kitchen—perfect for preparing meals without needing to eat out every night. The value for money was outstanding, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. From the moment we arrived to the time we checked out, everything felt seamless and welcoming. This place is ideal for travelers who want both convenience and tranquility. I’ll definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Auckland.

It's perfectly located—close to all the action in Auckland, yet tucked away in a surprisingly tranquil neighborhood. Walking to restaurants, shops, and attractions is effortless, but you still get that quiet retreat vibe when you return to your room. The blend of historic charm and modern comfort makes it a standout choice. Definitely worth every penny.
Sunny Grey Lynn Holiday Home
Located just minutes away from Eden Park, this holiday home offers a fantastic base for exploring Auckland. It comfortably sleeps four guests, though it’s best suited for families or close friends since all beds are in the same bedroom. Despite the compact layout, the property delivers excellent value and convenience. The neighborhood is quiet yet well-connected—public transit options are nearby, and there are plenty of dining and shopping spots within walking distance. We loved the cozy atmosphere and found it perfect for a relaxed, stress-free getaway with a small group.
Bavaria Boutique Hotel
From the moment we arrived, the staff at Bavaria Boutique Hotel made us feel right at home with their warm and welcoming attitude. Check-in was quick and hassle-free, and we were especially pleased to find free parking on-site—a real plus for travelers driving in. The hotel itself is a stunning, well-maintained mansion that exudes charm and character. Our room was spacious enough for two adults and our luggage, with a California king-sized bed that was incredibly comfortable—perfect for a good night’s sleep. Having an en-suite bathroom within the room added a great level of convenience and privacy. Plus, there are countless dining options just a short walk away, so we never had to drive far for a meal.

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.
