Hotel 2-Star di Auckland Region, New Zealand

Everything about the stay was perfect — except for the very poor Wi-Fi. There’s no kitchen facility, which may be inconvenient for long-term stays, but considering the price and the services provided, it’s still an economical choice for this location. The hotel’s location is excellent — just steps away from a 24/7 convenience store. However, I strongly advise against shopping there: prices are extremely high. For example, a bottle of water that costs $4.50 NZD at the shop is available for just $0.99 at the local market. The fruit selection there is also disappointing in both quality and value. I wouldn’t recommend relying on that particular store — even though it’s close, there are better and much cheaper options on the opposite side of the street. As for the hotel itself — you get exactly what you pay for, and I’d happily recommend it to others. In fact, it’s the most budget-friendly accommodation option in this area.

My second time staying in this hotel. The room was huge, with all necessary facilities in good condition. The fridge, microwave and electric kettle are quite handy. The location is very convenient, both for sightseeing and for getting to and from the airport. The largest and cheapest supermarket in the area (Woolworths) is also just a few hundred meters away. The only issue was a bit of noise from the traffic outside, but not too bad. Overall, great value for money.

The location is perfect, located in the heart of the city centre, 1 mins walk to the nearest countdown/woolworth. You can find anything you need in the area, you name it, you will find it. It is best for traveller first leg in New Zealand. There is a big common area, You get to meet a lot of backpackers which you can exchange information. Highly recommended. The only short is that the water in the shower is too low, it is like spraying water on you.

It's quite far from the CBD and the entrance is a staircase, so it's inconvenient to have a large suitcase. It is helpful to have a locker with a key individually. Also, it was helpful to be able to use the kitchen for 24 hours. I stayed at 3 in the backer, but this was the best.

This is a newly opened hostel. I booked a double room to try it out by myself. The room wasn't big, but it was enough for one person. It's on the 6th floor, and you can see a small portion of the sea view through the glass door. The best part is that you can leave the door slightly open so the air is fresh. The downside isn't that there's no wardrobe, but there are no clothes hangers. That's not a big deal, but there's also no hairdryer or electric kettle. Luckily, there's a rooftop restaurant upstairs, a bar downstairs, and two supermarkets nearby for water and drinks. Everything else, like the location and customer service, was excellent. I recommend it.

Facilities: very clean Hygiene: not bad Environment: very good Service: very good There are Chinese restaurants and other western restaurants nearby, overall it's okay There are more Indians nearby Luggage storage is possible for free

Such a cozy spot for an overnight stay. Upstairs room i got with no balcony access like the rooms on the ground floor but still has the windows to look out on to the park. So check if you are getting the ground floor for patio access or upstairs room window to park views. Quite a noisy street on the main drag in a built up area but still close to the Airport and shopping centre. Room was very well equipped with utensils and microwave. Bed was clean & comfy just needed a couple more pillows to perch up especially for 2 adults to watch TV. Bonus the stand up cooling fan. Bathroom with a good size shower & basic ammenities and a side cupboard to hang clothing. Overall a comfortable stay.

^_^ Very good, very good, the boss is very good, full marks, come again next time.

Overall score: 2.7/5 (Below Expectations). Pros: - Bathroom was clean. - Room serviced every second day (clean towels/dishes, rubbish removed, bed made, tea/coffee topped-up). - Carparks on 3 sides of building. - Staff were friendly. Cons: - Bedroom floor dirty upon arrival (needed a vacuum and mop). - Heat-pump was either on or off (arrived on a hot sunny day and wanted to cool down but 28° heat was only option. Had to just open window instead, but when someone started smoking outside, closed it). - Noisy area with regular low-flying aircraft, loud traffic/sirens, and people talking at all hours (people outside or in hallway or neighboring rooms can be heard from our room with doors closed). - Pillows very thin and hard.
