Bavaria Boutique Hotel

Definitely not a hotel and not really a B&B - you mostly have to make your own breakfast! Kiri, the manager (?) is friendly and very helpful. She made us filter coffee when asked, provided lots of information about Auckland and cards to use the bus - there is a bus stop a few minutes walk away which takes you into the centre of Auckland. A large common lounge/eating area/kitchen. Our room had plenty of space but no where really for 2 full size suitcases although this is a common problem with most accomodation. Unfortunately, the bathroom was tiny, probably less than 2 m². Probably worth checking out what it going on at the Eden Park stadium which is nearby. Loud, noisy events going on into the late evening are easily heard and may disturb your sleep. Of course, if you are planning to attend the event, then a good place to stay overnight. Plenty of off-street parking and convenient for touring around Auckland although for central Auckland, use the bus. Also convenient for local shops and accessing SH1 and SH16. Mount Eden summit is nearby and definitely worth a visit for its views across Auckland.

Amazing location, within 10 mins walk of Eden Park, 25 mins walk to Powerstation, 2 - 5 mins to a supermarket, BurgerFuel, Wendy’s and a bar. Cool place to stay, cool decor and vibe, tidy rooms and friendly staff. Definitely recommend to anyone, especially for events at Eden Park!

Lovely spot, very handy. We were upgraded to a sunny upstairs room with a balcony and enjoyed wonderful hospitality from Lynn including local knowledge and advice on local restaurants and genuine interest in our stay in Auckland. Will stay again!

We enjoyed our short stay here. The inn is very nice, with comfortable rooms, a good location close to restaurants and grocery, and not a bad drive to the zoo. The beds were comfortable, and the shared kitchen and seating area was very nice. There is even a lovely patio to relax on. Erica was a very nice host and made us feel welcome.

I like to give supportive reviews, and realise that value in city accommodation may not match that elsewhere in NZ, but I have to be honest to our experience and this was disappointing, even rather depressing. It seems there are new owners so previous Tripadvisor reviews before this year are inapplicable. After a confusing email exchange we were given a key code number to enter the building (avoid getting locked out!) and on departure left the key in the room so we never met the new owner/manager though they do come to clean during the day. However one of the rooms is occupied by a young man whom they called night manager and would be available in case of a major issue. There is a large lounge and balcony which is pleasant, whereas our bedroom was small, with basic furniture and a tiny bathroom. Perhaps there are better rooms in the Bavaria overall (it has 11). Breakfast felt a bit like a student share house (help yourself to the jam in the frig). This might suit some people as long as you knew what you were getting. The actual location in Mount Eden is excellent - charming streets, close enough to a range of restaurants and a supermarket, and inexpensive Uber fare to the city if you want to leave your car in the perfectly adequate parking area. But the sign at the front of the Bavaria "boutique hotel 5 stars" suggests three delusions together. So not the high point of our travels.

So handy for Eden Park, ten minute walk. The Bavaria Bed and Breakfast was immaculate. Extremely friendly Managers, who accomodate your wishes without the least amount of trouble. This is a very homely place for a Bed and Breakfast, it was spotless!
