Hotel berhampiran St Mary's Catholic Church, Auckland

Holiday Inn Express is one of my favorite hotels during my 2-week stay in New Zealand. It is located in the heart of Auckland’s cbd area and close to everything (shops, restaurants, bars, harbor). It is a 6-minute walk to the Sky Tower where you can pick up the Airport Express bus for $17 nzd. The hotel entrance is on a significant incline. The reception is on the 2nd floor which you can take either an elevator or escalator up. The cafeteria and small lounge are to the right of the reception desk. Breakfast was the usual scrambled eggs, sausage, ham, toast, yogurt, cereal, fruits, muffins, and other pastries. Due to the high volume of clients the 2 coffee machines were usually low on milk to make certain coffee drinks. I love the room set up. The closet is across of the bathroom and had plenty of room for your luggage. The shower is enclosed in a glass cube with wave designs. A nightlight in the bathroom saved on electricity if you need a little light to move around the room. The bed was comfortable and the a/c worked. The reception staff was kind to let me stay an extra hour past the check-out time for the room that I had with my tour. The room that I booked after the tour was ready early and I got to settle in at 11 am before my afternoon tour. Construction is happening around the hotel with the streets being torn up and a new building under construction next to the hotel. The hotel is well insulated that I couldn’t hear any of the construction.

The main advantage is the location, just off the main shopping area of Queen Street, less than 10 minutes walk to the Viaduct and Britomart areas. Supermarkets less than five minutes walk, SkyCity just up the road, etc. The building itself is nothing flash with a small reception area and two small lifts. We stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment on the 7th floor and the apartment was quite comfortable and had plenty of space to relax. The WiFi worked well. The small kitchen had the basics we needed to have breakfast and prepare a light meal and snacks. One bathroom was an en suite off the main bedroom whilst the other bathroom was larger and contained the washing machine and dryer. Unfortunately we suffered from the construction noise in the street outside which of course is nothing to do with the hotel, but meant we had to sleep with the air conditioning on rather than have a window or sliding door open. There was less noise on the weekend but there was still some construction taking place.

Really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend. Rooms are slightly dated but wouldn’t take much to be a higher star of hotel. Gym facilities really good though different equipment to what is in the pictures. Breakfast really good value, would be good to see some healthier options of fruit too. Overall a really good stay and would stay here again

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.

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.

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.

Honestly, overall I enjoyed the stay at the Copthrone Hotel in Auckland. The location was good and the staff were friendly. The bar was good (although like anything in Auckland everything was over priced) and the pasta I had one night was really good. Unfortunately the hotel needed a face lift. The paint on the walls were chipped, the carpet needed replacing and the doors wouldn't close properly. The bathrooms were untidy and very small. It was also a very noisy hotel. They Melenium Group need to spend some money on this facility because it could be a great hotel. 3 stars.

Ideal location to explore Auckland. Clean, tidy and bright. Facilities and all amenities are considerately provided. Staff are so kind, helpful and hospitable. My encounter with Jamie in the front desk was a happy, serendipitous and memorable experience. He tried to help and delight me in every way possible. With my injured waist, he even helped me to carry my luggage downstairs. The feeling and vibe was extraordinarily positive. I recommend.

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.

Awesome stay, We stayed there 2 nights 2 adults and 2 children stayed there, The place was clean smelled nice. Awesome furnishings. There were other quest in the place but you would not know. The stay is a different set up where the place was like homestay in bulit up area other homes around. The streets and homes are clean tidy and quiet. We shared lovely kitchen and if you are upstairs we had out own little area to make coffee and tea and a lounge to relax. We planned activities in Auckland for our time there, and it was nice get back to a comfortable room and home. I would recommend the stay to others and would stay again Thankyou. Our children loved the place. I gave 3 for location it is in built up area and 3 for service, we saw no one during out time there had to ring for help. but the line was busy. Still ok place to stay.
