Wonderful room in AKL

Gorgeous room! Really state of the art technology for the lights, do not disturb, and requesting turn down service. Really love the chromecast feature for the tv and the bed feels like you’re sleeping on a cloud. Absolutely enjoyed our stay there.

It is next to Skycity which is super convenient location as you can take bus directly from and to airport. Also most tour buses start from there. You can also walk into CBD from there

Good central location in Auckland for dining, entertainment and shopping. Casino across street with elevated enclosed walkway. Good breakfasts, but poor storage space/closets in room.

Excellent!

I love this place! Conveniently located directly across the street from the Central Bus Terminal with SkyDrive bus from the airport. I was greeted with a lovely welcome gift for Lunar New Year. The property is brand new, has a lovely lobby and restaurant lounge. The room was perfect in every way. I didn’t want to leave!!

what a beautiful property. My mom, who is very cost conscious, was very nervous upon arriving here fearing that it was a budget buster, I assured her that it was reasonably priced, and she said "Good, because it sure looks FANCY." I second that. The hotel and room were very luxurious and so quiet. I will definitely stay here again.

Fire evacuation during our stay. Afterwards, staff couldnt get elevators working so nobody could access their rooms. We were consequently late to our concert. Other than that, absolutely beautiful hotel.
