5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2012

Yes this hotel is older & the price reflects that. BUT it has been completely refurbished, is spotlessly clean with big airy rooms & had everything I needed. The bed is really comfortable. It is right opposite the hospital & close to student accommodation in Grafton. There is some traffic noise, but the position is primo. Across the road are... More

I booked in because of its proximity to the hospital. I only wish that I had read other peoples reviews before I booked .. Everything said about the place is accurate. I would never recomend this place to anybody. More

I had booked for a special occasion, saw the recommendation to request one of the room (s) facing Auckland Hospital, so requested it. The member of staff I spoke to was dreadful, she went out of her way, to be rude and argumentative. Despite wishing to stay for a week, there was no way she would adhere to my request.... More

This place was cheap. $85 in central AKL opposite the hospital. Room spartan, plastic garden chairs furnishing rooms, tiled floors throughout. No frills, no milk for my morning cuppa. Very cheap decor. A bit of road/ ambulance/ helicopter noise at night from the nearby road and hospital. Exactly the standard expected. Nothing flash but comfortable. More

Checked myself in, went up to the room, and immediately checked myself out again. The room was cheap, nasty and was FILTHY!!! I would NOT RECOMMEND this hotel to anyone. Was going to charge me $105 for the night, and now at Sky City Grand at $169 - WAY MORE CLEANER AND FLASHER, for only a little more! More

We stayed for two nights while we were in Auckland for The Big Day Out, We were very reluctant to stay there as the last time we visited a friend there in 2007 it was disgusting and my skin was crawling the whole time we were there. It reminded me of some movie that you would expect a down and... More

I had a terrible experience at this hotel. I encountered 6 different staff members and only 1 of those people were helpful and friendly and he was unfortunately only on for one of the four nights I was there. My first impressions (from the outside) helped prepare me for the uncared for, smelly and dated appearance of the inside. If... More

I stayed in this "hotel" with a group of friends late last year (2007). From the moment I entered the room until the moment I left my skin was "crawling"! The only reason I stayed was that a friend had booked it and wanted somewhere cheap and affordable because of the size of our group. When I saw the pics... More
