Hotel berhampiran Owen's Green, Auckland

The location is fantastic and close to shops and eateries. Complimentary coffee was nice & appreciated the microwave, plates and cutlery etc. Staff very friendly. The airport shuttle bus comes to the Ibis for door to door pickups with only NZD 6/pp. I would definitely suggest dining in the fantastic restaurant next door - Szimpla. Always busy, but just relax, the food is worth it.

TLDR: no aircon, constant power cuts, paper thin walls.. Where do I start. First off there’s no aircon so the rooms are hot and uncomfortable. There are ducted low speed fans which don’t do much. But the biggest problem is the fact the rooms are on what I believe to be motion sensors or some kind of timers so ALL power turns off every 25 seconds, this is not an exaggeration. This includes the lights, jug, the fan - everything. I stubbed my toes in the dark because the lights turned off while I was walking around, and they wouldn’t turn back on. Showering in the dark due the lights constantly on and off. Good luck making a coffee, showering, watching TV or anything without that being interrupted by constant power cuts which drive you mad. I booked the small room. They look small in the photos but even smaller in person and I felt like I was suffocating, the rooms are tiny so heat up like crazy. The smallest hotel room I’ve ever seen. Also the walls are paper thin so I could hear my neighbours conversations word for word.. even with ear plugs. If there was air con and sound proof walls, I could have put up with the extremely small space. Terrible experience. Don’t even bother with this place. The Abstract had a lot of potential as they have decorated it very nicely but they have let themselves down. It is also in a dangerous area of Auckland central so you will want to make sure you are back in your room by dark, lots of drunk homeless people around. After my first night of zero sleep due to the heat, stuffiness and neighbours chatting, I complained and had my room kindly upgraded to a larger one, but the same issues remained of constant power cuts and no air con in that room too. At least it was a bit cooler due to being larger and an extra window, also had no neighbours.. The customer service was pretty good. There is no parking on site so you have to park in a carpark building across the road. The food in the restaurant was average but has a beautiful outdoor dining area which was the highlight.

The location is excellent for the queen street and easy to access CBD Auckland, the room is ok for short trip. But have to close the window to prevent insect. The staffs are nice and helpful.

Have stayed here 4 times and each time gets better. The staff are super friendly and always able to help with anything you may need. Rooms are clean and everything you would need. This is our go to place in Auckland CBD as the he kitchen facilities really help us too and are of great quality. Thanks again for another great stay

YHA Auckland International is located within walking distance from everywhere in Auckland downtown, including the airport bus if you need to get an early flight. The kitchen has everything you need, the beds and bedding are spotless and comfortable, and conducive to a good night sleep. Wi-Fi is available. I didn’t try it though.

Stayed at Lylo for 3-4 days and it’s probably the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. You check in on a device however there is a receptionist near in case you need anything. The design is amazing as well as the communal rooms/work spaces, it’s very new and renovated at the moment so it looks really great. There’s free wifi, a communal kitchen and bathrooms on each floor. There’s also a restaurant and bar, you get a card for one free drink too! I stayed in a private room and shared bathroom, the floor was super clean and quiet. The room itself was cute and tidy, we were missing a few things such as a rubbish bin (didn’t know the rooms came with one until we saw someone else on our floor with one). I think it would’ve of been nice if the room came with a television or a safe, however the room was great for the price so can’t complain too much :) location is central and easy access to everything within the city.

Quite pleasant, well set out , would book there again. Right in the centre of Auckland, handy to everything in the CBD. Parking is a problem, rang ahead to try and book, was told it's ”first come first served ”, when we got there my partner asked about parking and was told there was none available, but the people arriving after us were given a spot...the parking was in the 10min drop off spots...so be aware if you arrive late but before the freeman ends finding a spot to stop and book in might be difficult.

Fast check in process, complete amenities and comfy room. Express check out and enjoyable stay. Small issue with safety deposit box which keeping error status. Anyway concierge help opening it with key. Problem solved. Reception was kind and giving my kid small squishy toy. Appreciate this small matter. Hotel location in tourist area and connected to ******, so many people in neughbourhood with choices of restaurant, bar and mini mart that open till late.

The brand-new hotel is conveniently situated in the central area, making it a fantastic choice for exploring the city by location. We tried the breakfast served daily in the restaurant, and it was fantastic. The lobby is relatively small, and you can see crowds cramped outside the lift at times. The service at the concierge could be slow at times. There was no ambassador status recognition during my stay, which is disappointing. During my stay, there are no gyms inside the hotel, and you will have to walk for quite a while to reach one nearby.

The room itself is lovely and clean, has the basics and the shower is good but the noise of the place let's it down. Echos through the hall way and shutting of doors constantly through the night then a high pitched door alarm rang for 2 hours first thing in the morning. The bed and pillows were comfy however our bed was missing an entire leg!!! The lean was incredibly noticble and contributed to an average sleep. I had requested a car park on booking 2 months in advance and arrived to find there were none available and my request denied. Having to pay way more for secure parking on top of the hotel hiked the cost up to what a decent hotel would have been. It's location fitted the purpose of a concert at Spark Arena but I definitely won't be staying here again.
