Top North Island Hotel Reviews

Novotel Auckland Airport

Novotel Auckland Airport

10/10 Excellent
"Clean and well maintained, very convenient to international terminal and rental car return. Not as advantageous for domestic flights as the domestic terminal requires a 15+ minute walk, or a 3 minute walk to a shuttle bus that only runs every 15 minutes. Hotel itself is great and we highly recommend for international connections."
