Novotel Auckland Ellerslie

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.

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.

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.

Staying at Alpers Lodge & Conference Centre was a fantastic experience. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained—perfect for a relaxing getaway. Its location is ideal: just a short walk or quick transit ride into downtown Auckland, making it easy to explore the city’s attractions, restaurants, and shops. I especially appreciated the free parking, which made my road trip stress-free. Despite being close to the urban center, the hotel sits in a peaceful, quiet area—no noise from traffic or crowds.

Albert Accommodation

My stay at Albert Accommodation in Auckland wasn’t what I expected. The room was outdated, with basic furnishings and a noticeably weak air conditioning unit. To make matters worse, I experienced a theft during my stay. After reporting it to the police, the hotel refused to provide any CCTV footage, claiming no suspicious individuals were spotted. They also declined a refund for the unused portion of my stay, despite the circumstances. While the location is convenient—close to public transit and downtown—it’s hard to overlook the lack of security and poor customer service. For the price, you’d expect better care and transparency. I wouldn’t recommend this property to others, especially if safety and reliability are priorities.

Aachen House Boutique

Staying at Aachen House Boutique was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Westfield shopping centre and Mt.

The owners are genuinely warm and welcoming—so kind and thoughtful, it feels like staying at a friend’s home rather than a hotel. The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and well-appointed, offering a perfect balance of comfort and style. If you're looking for a unique boutique experience with a personal touch, this place is a must-try. I can’t recommend it enough—there’s something special about every detail here that truly makes your stay unforgettable.

Nyima Tashi Buddhist Centre

My stay at Nyima Tashi Buddhist Centre was absolutely wonderful—truly one of the best experiences I've had in New Zealand. The entire building is spotless, with a clean and peaceful atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, offering fresh coffee and fruit upon arrival—a thoughtful touch that made the experience feel personal. While the bathrooms are shared, they’re spacious, well-maintained, and kept immaculately clean—no complaints here. Located just minutes from downtown Auckland via public transit, it’s convenient without sacrificing serenity. The surrounding area is quiet and spiritually calming, perfect for a mindful getaway.

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.
