This is my third stay at Gamma Hotel, and I’m still thoroughly impressed. The room was spotless and well-maintained—cleanliness is clearly a priority here. Located just a short walk from Queen Street, it’s incredibly convenient for accessing Auckland’s main business district, shopping areas, and dining spots. I especially appreciate the small kitchenette; while compact, it’s extremely clean and rarely used by other guests, making it ideal for preparing your own meals. A quick trip to a nearby supermarket lets you pick up fresh ingredients and enjoy a change of pace from eating out. Public transit access is also excellent—getting around the city is seamless. For comfort, convenience, and value, this hotel truly delivers. I’ll definitely be back.
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!

It's conveniently located near public transit, making it easy to get into downtown Auckland in just a few minutes. Great value for the price, and I’d definitely stay here again.
I needed a quick overnight stay in Auckland, and Rayland Epsom Motel turned out to be a perfect choice. Located in a safe, quiet neighborhood with easy access to public transit, it’s convenient for exploring the city. The motel is a bit older, but everything is well-maintained and functional—clean rooms, comfy bed, and a reliable bathroom setup. The staff were friendly and efficient during check-in. Despite its vintage charm, it offers great value for money. I had a comfortable and stress-free stay, and I’d definitely come back if I’m ever in Auckland again.
Staying at Ascot Epsom Motel was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short drive or quick transit ride into downtown Auckland, with plenty of restaurants, shops, and attractions nearby. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The staff were friendly and efficient during check-in and check-out, making the whole process seamless. I especially appreciated the great value for money—this place offers top-notch comfort without breaking the bank. If you're visiting Auckland and want a reliable, no-fuss stay with excellent access to everything, this motel is a must-try. I’ll definitely be returning.
Staying at Andelin Guest House in Devenport was an absolute delight. This charming period property feels like stepping back in time, with elegant details throughout. The host couldn’t have been more welcoming—warm, friendly, and always ready to help. Our room (Room 1) was spacious and beautifully appointed: the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the huge bathroom featured a stunning rolltop tub that made for perfect relaxation. Coffee and tea are available anytime—perfect for early mornings or late-night cravings. Location is fantastic—just a short walk to town, great restaurants, and the waterfront, where you can easily catch a boat to Waiheke Island. It’s a dreamy escape for nature lovers and city explorers alike. Truly a standout stay.
I was really disappointed with my stay at Peace & Plenty Inn in Auckland. The property used to have a peaceful, green atmosphere, but the owner removed nearly every tree around the house—front, back, and sides—leaving behind a barren, lifeless space. It's heartbreaking to see such a once-beautiful spot stripped of its natural charm. The owner seems completely indifferent to neighbors and the surrounding environment, showing no regard for sustainability or community harmony. I can't believe someone would prioritize personal preference over preserving green spaces in an urban area. While the location is decent and the price is fair, the lack of respect for nature and the neighborhood makes this experience far from enjoyable. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who values peace, greenery, or responsible hosting.
Staying at Novotel Auckland Ellerslie was a fantastic experience—perfect for families! The room was spacious with two generous 1.6-meter beds, making it ideal for a family of four (two adults and two kids). One of the highlights was being able to order breakfast right in the room—warm, delicious meals delivered straight to us without having to leave the comfort of our space. It saved so much time and added a real touch of convenience. I also appreciated the self-service laundry and drying facilities; grabbing tokens at the front desk was simple and super practical, especially when traveling with multiple outfits or needing to freshen up mid-stay. The hotel is quiet, well-maintained, and located just a short ride from the city center via public transport. With such great value, excellent service, and a homey feel, this place truly stands out. I’d definitely book here again.
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.
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.
Staying at Quest Newmarket Serviced Apartments has been a consistently great experience. The apartment is incredibly well-equipped with all the essentials I need for a comfortable stay—kitchenware, cleaning supplies, bedding, and everything in between. It feels like home away from home, especially since I didn’t have to bring much extra. The location is fantastic—just a short walk or quick subway ride into downtown Auckland, and there are so many restaurants, cafes, and shops nearby. I never had to go far for food or daily needs. The unit itself is spacious, thoughtfully laid out, and quiet, making it perfect for relaxing after a long day. Clean, convenient, and affordable—this place delivers on every front. I’d definitely recommend it to friends and family, and I’ll be back again soon.
The three-bedroom room was spacious and incredibly comfortable, making it perfect for families or groups. What stood out most was the excellent value for money—this place offers so much for the price. Right across from the hotel is a serene rose garden, where I enjoyed morning coffee surrounded by blooming flowers. It's also just a short walk to the waterfront, ideal for a relaxing stroll along the shore. The only downside is that it’s a bit farther from the airport, but the local transport links are solid—public transit makes getting into the city quick and easy. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, contributing to a very pleasant experience. Overall, this is a fantastic choice if you're looking for comfort, charm, and a peaceful atmosphere without breaking the bank.
