If you face the street, you will hear bungee jumpers from skycity starting in the morning until late at night, screaming from the time they jump until they are unhooked and safe on land again. Jumper after jumper. You get to hear this all for a whopping couple hundred dollars + per night - I was in Room 404 so... More

While clean and comfortable, we found the room decor very stark. Room was noisy with the windows facing the main street. Our room had minor efficiencies for those inclined to have the odd in room meals. WIFI was available only in the lobby and very pricey. More

We stayed here for one of the rugby world cup matches, over £200 per night. The bed was so old the springs poked through the side when we lay on it. Worst value we had in 7 weeks in NZ More

The Best Western in Auckland is nothing special really. The kitchenette in the room is convenient, and the room is clean. We were on the 13th floor (really there!), so that was funny. Downside was it was very noisy on the street overnight. Also the elevators are terribly slow, and sometimes not working at all. Our roomkeys had to be... More

My husband and I were due to fly to Christchurch last year from Singapore via Sydney the day after the terrible earthquake. We had to change our plans at the last minute and managed to get a room in this hotel. Our first impression from the outside and surrounding area was not good, but once we ventured inside and were...

I got into Auckland a day before leaving on a cruise and wanted a place near enough to walk to the ship and central enough to sightsee on my free day in Auckland. The hotel fit the bill for me, although I like to walk. If a hike isn't your thing, and you're going on a cruise, use the Hilton... More

Central location.Adequate room with basic cooking facilities. Microwave, fridge, toaster and kettle. No cooking rings. Internet expensive for 24 hours in the room. Free internet available at the local esquire coffee shops so don't pay for it unless you really want to. Room average and location was the priority. Staff not friendly by Kiwi standards. Would stay again though for... More

It is easy to write a review of a hotel when there is so much wrong. It all started with the surly front desk staff who need an extensive re-training course in customer relations. A room with king sized bed was requested due to medical problems with my back. What I got was two single beds pushed together with a... More

This hotel is situated in the centre of Aukland. Most of the city's major attractions are within easy walking distance. It is also an easy hotel to reach as the airport bus stops just over a block away. The property does however have a number of short comings. The rooms are not that well equipped,not that clean and the TV... More
