Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group
Enjoyable stay with friendly staff and clean, rooms were spacious and welcoming. Strongly recommend staying in the newer updated tower than other portion of the hotel. The breakfast is worth it and the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever seen. Check-in process was very fast

Indeed, the clean room, kitchen amenities although I never used the microwave and hot plate, but great to have that option. Was there a shower cap in the room. Maybe I missed it! Overall excellent and attentive staff. Thank you Moira

Big appartment with balcony and view over the bay. Clean. Would need a little renovation work here or there, but for the price it was excellent.
