We stayed here recently and I would recommend it as a central place to stay. Nice restaurant and bar, excellent location and good size rooms. On the down side - the restaurant service was poor (I told them I was in a hurry and had to go and it still took AGES for a platter of fruit and some toast...... More

Odd shaped rooms. Shower over the bath which i dont like. Lackadaisical service. But cheap and probably the only place to stay on the North Shore. Outrageously priced Internet. This is a common problem in NZ hotels and needs to be sorted.

I stayed on the 18th floor which had 225° of spectacular views from Lake Pupuke south across Auckland city to the Tamaki Strait. Room was excellent with separate bedroom, well-specc'd compact kitchen, dining room and lounge. Despite being able to see everywhere there was a very high level of privacy.

Been here a few times now and love this hotel. If you want to base yourself on the north shore then there is no other choice. Rooms are good and choice of tv channels and magazines is great. Magazines even in the hallways. Water fountain on arrival. Parking is easy. Great location from the motorway and also the takapuna nightlife.... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Spencer on Bryon. The location was close enough to the city whilst maintaining an almost beach resort vibe. Great views of the Harbour and surrounding water. Was lucky enough to be upgraded to a one bedroom suite which felt like an apartment with kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and lounge room and balcony. Bonuses were... More

Nice Hotel, decent sized clean rooms, friendly staff. Nice views of the water from certain rooms. One of the best buffet breakfast I have ever had, well worth paying slightly more for it, you wont need to eat again till dinner time.

I was disappointed to find frayed edges on the face cloth I used and the tiles need re-grouting, along with this the seal on the shower/bath was not good,definitely not 4 Star at all. The lampshade next to my bed had most of the inner cover missing and had seen much better days. This could be a great Hotel with... More

We had a night out in Takapuna, and booked this hotel as it is within walking distance from the nightlife, and we got a reasonably priced studio room. Secure parking is available on site, and free. Check-in was simple, friendly & quick. On arrival, we were informed we had been upgraded to a suite (one king bed), as the hotel... More
