Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is centrally located in downtown Auckland, within easy reach of public transport, restaurants, and bars. The rooms are comfortable but lacked a desk, and the seating area I was looking forward to using was not ready upon arrival. The service was exceptional, especially the concierge team, who went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The dining experience was good overall, with delicious options, but the extra charge for a second cup of tea with breakfast was slightly disappointing.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room lacked the advertised colorful decor but had stylish furniture after a recent renovation. Unfortunately, it was not soundproof and quite noisy until late. The service was a hit or miss with rude breakfast staff but generally helpful employees. The location was convenient near downtown attractions but suffered from loud street noise. The dining experience felt more like a cafe with a delayed yet tasty continental buffet. Overall, the price was reasonable considering the drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was delightful! The rooms offered a cozy and comfortable space to unwind, though being close to a nightclub was a bit noisy at times. The service was impeccable, with the staff being warm and efficient. The location was superb, close to all amenities and the train station, despite the bustling nightlife in the area. Dining was a unique experience, although the additional costs on top of the listed price was a minor downside.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated, spacious, and comfortable, creating a classy atmosphere with delightful touches. The service was attentive and accommodating, from directing us at check-in to waiving accommodation fees. The location was perfect, being central to downtown Auckland and close to the harbor. The dining experience was delicious, though limited compared to other places I've been. Overall, a great hotel to stay at.
The hotel room was everything we had expected, very clean, and spacious. The bed was very comfortable, and the shower was really good. However, some areas appeared unclean, worn, and dated. The size of the rooms matched the advertised description.
The hotel boasts luxurious European-style decor with compact yet extremely comfortable, clean, and well-equipped rooms. However, being next door to a nightclub with loud music might not suit travelers with older or younger companions.
The hotel rooms were clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet for the bustling location, offering a beautiful in-house dining room. The service was top-notch with attentive staff, though some minor hygiene concerns were noted. The central location provided easy access to various attractions and amenities, despite slight inconveniences with noise and construction work nearby. The dining experience was satisfactory but lacked options for specific dietary needs. Overall, a decent value for money stay with notable positives and minor drawbacks.
This hotel is a hidden gem with incredibly stylish rooms, spotlessly clean, and in a prime location. While the rooms may not suit everyone's taste, the unique design adds a quirky touch to your stay. A booking here is a decision you won't regret.
Staying at this boutique hotel was a luxurious experience. The beautiful decor and spacious rooms right in the city created a stylish ambiance. The staff were incredibly friendly, even remembering my preferences. However, being close to a nightclub might disrupt your sleep, so check your room location.
