Hotel in Auckland

“This is a great hostel even for longer time stays! I stayed here for more than 2 months myself and don’t have anything to complain about. The staff is really nice. James the receptionist helped me a lot with my visa application and finding a good fitness studio in Auckland downtown. Very friendly, young and happy hostel guests stay here and still it’s quite in the nights even in 8 bed dorms. Would stay here again any time :)”

“I stayed for 2 nights at Takanini Park Motor Lodge and had a wonderful experience. The staff were very helpful, especially the manager who went out of the way to make sure everything was comfortable. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the location is convenient with easy parking. Definitely going to stay here again in the future...”

“A truly excellent and affordable motel. The owner is warm and attentive, the rooms are clean and tidy, and the location is superb. Five-star experience — I will definitely come back again!”

“@MarthaNordstrand We’re sorry you feel this way. The bond refund was processed through Tenancy Services in accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Deductions were necessary to cover two weeks’ rent arrears, damage to the property’s drywall, and rubbish left at the premises, with the remaining balance refunded. We encourage tenants to contact our office directly if they would like further clarification.”

“I stayed at Park Ave Residence as a long term tenant and I must say my stay there was wonderful. The staff were friendly, warm and was always available. The facilities was well looked after by the cleaning staff who did a wonderful job. Some tenants needed to learn how to clean up after themselves but apart from that I would recommend Park Ave Residence anytime. It was handy to town and public transport and the view from the room I was in was awesome. I was is Rm 312. If ever I travel back to Auckland and need a place to stay I will be calling Park Ave Residence.”

“My first welcome to New Zealand. Run by a very friendly and helpful family. I stayed in a nice and clean recently refurbished room with top notch facilities including tea/coffee making facilities, a microwave, fridge, fast WiFi and a good TV with Sky. Very comfortable bed and an impressive shower. The hotel itself is in a perfect location on a good accessible main road and it has plenty of parking. Lots of places to eat nearby and a five minute walk from the train in to the city which itself only takes 15 minutes. Very happy with my stay.”

“Have lived here since 2021 and it's not at all bad from what others may say. This place helps out people in need and it's definitely not a boring time here lol people tend to keep to themselves but also there's a community here too. The owner Brad is very welcoming and this place helps people stay off the streets so definitely recommend for short or long term stays.”

“Thank you for a great stay! Bed was comfortable and facilities worked well for us in our kitchenette unit. Perhaps a couple more power points would be useful for multiple devices Great central location-easy access to trains, buses and shopping”

“I stayed here for just one night and absolutely loved it! The place was clean, comfortable, and had a great atmosphere. The staff, especially Mana, was so friendly and welcoming ! He really made my stay feel special. I would definitely come back if I get the chance!”

“Our experience at Zest, 72 Nelson Street, has been nothing short of fantastic. The management team’s excellent communication and prompt resolutions made it an even better place to live. The rent was also reasonable, especially given its prime location in the heart of Auckland. A big thank you to Jacob and Precious for your continuous and highly professional assistance.”

“I can highly recommend this motel. Our unit was super clean, and serviced each day. The staff was friendly and professional. There were everything we required for our needs in room. The bed especially was just so comfortable that you do not miss your own bed at home!! bonus!!”

“Really interested building which has had some pretty important guests over the years including the Queen of Tonga and also the Queen of England. Lovely feel to the place. Very quiet and peaceful. The rooms were a decent size. The kitchen was clean and spacious and the living room area was really well set out and comfy. The hostel is just a couple of minutes walk from Parnell high street which means that you have shops, restaurants and bars nearby. Would certainly stay here again.”

“Nice rooms and staff was super friendly and helpful. Lots of decent stuff in the area for eats and entertainment. Room was clean and comfortable.”

“I stayed at this motel for 3 months as a business trip. This motel was renovated and operated by a family. So no need to worry about the hygiene or cleaness. However, you don't have toothblush (shampoo, treatment, body wash and body soap are prepared) in this motel. Since this motel is family operated, you can't expect them high-level hospitality, but they are accommodating. They sometimes forgot to restore shampoo, treatments and then others but after I asked them for the restore, they gave me bunch of them.”

“We got there super late at night but we're greeted with absolutely kindness and helpfulness. Room was very clean, well laid out as someone else has mentioned and affordable. Best part, the bed was SO comfy! Would definitely stay again if need be.”

“A place to rest at such short notice I am greatful. I express my Gratitude towards Miss LindaChinese lady lovely caring person who will try & help you if your open about your situation indeed,. Thankyou. My stars are for Short notice Location Miss Linda kind service Thanks again”

“Been great dealing with the manager working at the motel, Been very helpful! Recommend! :)”

“The hostel is very centrally located in Auckland CBD, making it convenient for sightseeing, public transport and walking to many spots. Many reviewers highlight the staff as helpful and friendly. One site noted: “Staff is really helpful and kind… value honestly you will get what you pay.” According to the hostel’s website, there are large shared kitchens, lounge/TV room, free high-speed WiFi, parking availability. Many travellers say that if you are staying only a few nights and are budget-conscious, it “does the trick”. From reviews: “It was ok but you got what you paid for. … close to city centre and affordable.”

“Auckland Astro has a super capable and friendly clerk. Also the hostel was sparkling clean. Seems rather new. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I do enjoy my stay here very much.”

“Had to go here for work. This place is an emergency housing building for people who are not as fortunate as you or I. It is kept clean and tidy and I found the residents to be warm and welcoming. There is probably no reason anyone would come here except to be housed. I just thought I'd give it a rap as they do a wonderful job in caring for people in our community.”

“I’ve booked a stay with Ascotia now several times previously and my experience staying with them was always very positive, their rooms are nice and always cleaned immaculately. Considering the price they are an extremely affordable option and my go to if ever I’m needing a hotel room in the CBD. They are conveniently located within a short walking distance to many ammenities. Short walking distance from both Queen street area as well as Kroad area. If anybody is seeking an affordable option for accommodation they would always be my first recommendation! ☺️”

“We had a great stay at VR Auckland City. The service was awesome, and the staff were very easy to communicate with requests like parking were handled quickly and smoothly. The room was comfortable, and the overall experience was truly enjoyable. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely stay here again the next time we’re in Auckland!”

“Sufficient for staying a night or two. Central tobeverything in yhe cbd. Service is okay, desk manned continuously although they don't say much when you are coming and going. Studio room is small bit sufficient. I don't like that you have to step up to go into the small bathroom, will be a trip hazard during the night. Good price and good value though.”
