We stayed here over New Years and then again at the end of our holiday! The service was great and we had views looking out over the water and the bridge! Its great proximity to the casino makes it easy to walk there for dinner or a climb up the tower! It is about a 15 minute walk to the... More

We spent a night in this place. The rooms are modern and very high quality. We did not have booking but were privided a room, with a smile. Friendly staff, good location. An average place, good value for money. Luckily our room was in front of the Skyline tower, the view was worth it. Recommended to all.

Hi there, yes payment up front along with bond is standard practice for nearly every hotel when a guest chooses to pay with cash. Majority of guests choose to pay via credit card or through online bookings, upon check in an imprint of the card is taken for security reasons. If a credit card is not being used then payment...

We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights. I must say, I love the location as it is very central and minutes away to SkyCity and Queen Street - where all they hype is in Auckland Central. The hotel was very affordable - we paid 175$ per night and thought it was a great bargain! Hotel amenities were very basic... More

We stayed here overnight. The hotel was lovely & staff very nice. Rooms were a little small & bathrooms very compact. I was a little annoyed that the hotel doesn't provide shower caps but lucky I always pack a spare one. The beds were very comfortable and had a great night sleep.

If the reason you book a hotel room in advance is to insure you get a room you want when you arrive at the price you want ... don't depend on this hotel filling the bill. We booked an upgraded view room months in advance only to be told ... upon arrival and check-in ... that a plumbing problem had... More
