"Very good staff and great price. Good accommodations throughout the building including kitchen, living room, and laundry room. The rooms were more spacious than my prior experiences living in a hostile hotel. The interior of the building was clean. Rooms were well maintained. The location is within walking distance to downtown Auckland. You may prefer to Uber, but I never needed an Uber. My legs got me everywhere. I would definitely return for another stay on my next trip to New Zealand....

"The noise from the rooftop bar and the bar next door is extremely loud (with a heavy base as well). Despite changing rooms 3 times, it was not possible to escape the noise. It’s a shame that the windows haven’t been upgraded to help sound proof rooms, and not sure why the roof top bar is open so late to all public. (I was told it would close by 10, but there were still crowds going up after this time) It’s a shame as great location, clean rooms, lovely staff. Probably fine if you are out to...
