Auckland Auckland Central Hotels

I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Auckland City Centre for one night during my solo travels, and I couldn’t have been happier with my choice. The location is absolutely fantastic—right in the heart of Auckland, making it incredibly convenient to explore the city. Many attractions, restaurants, and shops are just a short walk away, which saved me a lot of time and effort. What stood out most, however, was the excellent staff. They were not only friendly and professional but went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable. Whether it was check-in, providing local recommendations, or assisting with my queries, they were always helpful and approachable. The room itself was clean, modern, and well-equipped, offering everything I needed for a comfortable night’s stay. The bed was cozy, and the overall atmosphere made it easy to relax after a day of exploring. For solo travelers like myself, I highly recommend this hotel for its prime location, attentive staff, and excellent value for money. I’ll definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Auckland!

Everything about the stay was perfect — except for the very poor Wi-Fi. There’s no kitchen facility, which may be inconvenient for long-term stays, but considering the price and the services provided, it’s still an economical choice for this location. The hotel’s location is excellent — just steps away from a 24/7 convenience store. However, I strongly advise against shopping there: prices are extremely high. For example, a bottle of water that costs $4.50 NZD at the shop is available for just $0.99 at the local market. The fruit selection there is also disappointing in both quality and value. I wouldn’t recommend relying on that particular store — even though it’s close, there are better and much cheaper options on the opposite side of the street. As for the hotel itself — you get exactly what you pay for, and I’d happily recommend it to others. In fact, it’s the most budget-friendly accommodation option in this area.

My husband and I stayed in VR hotel for 7 nights. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Front desk staff Thea who attended to us on the day of our check-in was friendly and helpful. What I like best about the hotel is it has a small well equipped kitchen. There's a microwave, a stove, an oven, a dish washing machine, a fridge and a washing machine. However the washing machine was broken but it was ok as the hotel will wash and dry your clothes free of charge. The location of the hotel is good with many restaurants around. The sky tower is just a short walk away. This hotel allows me to live like a New Zealander, buying provisions and cooking my own meals.👍

I had a great one-night stay at Lylo. Comfortable and affordable private room with private bathroom, my room had a window. Check in and check out went smooth, there's a nice restaurant/bar in the hostel, and the location is good to walk around the downtown, quite close to the bus stop to the airport as well.

A clean and trendy hotel located at Upper Queen Street. The hotel has a gym, massage and an Italian restaurant downstairs. Staff were friendly. Convenience stores, bars and late night restaurants on Karangahape Road were around the corner. The core CBD was only an approximately 15-20 mins walk. Recommend!

The place is cozy. Very clean. Has elevator. Foods nearby. Church nearby. But it was difficult to find the parking area. Very accommodating staff. However, we were only given 1 card to open the room and we were 3 in the room so when they go out to the garage or somewhere else, i am left alone without lights and power because they bring the key card which is used ro turn on the power. I can’t get out either to buy something.

The airport is very convenient to the hotel and it is convenient to eat around. The room is also very good, the kitchen is very well equipped. Although it is a business trip this time, it is a good choice to bring family members next time.

We were really fortunate to have gotten a great deal for 2 nights on Trip.com.  On arrival there was more than what was expected once we settled in. The App forgot to mention Dishwasher, Washing Machine and Dryer so prior we were still happy for the price we paid for the accom alone but were smitten and ecstatic to see these included. The Apartment I believe had everything you could possibly need and had been serviced to top notch cleanliness we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights on stay. We would hope in the future we could book this amazing accom if we’re in similar situation

The location is very good, quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle, with a large supermarket nearby within walking distance.

Really enjoyed my stay at Barclays suites  Not only was the location fantastic, near to the shops & ferry terminal, it’s spacious (two-bedroom suite) and comes with full kitchen if you want to do some cooking. Toiletries are wonderful too. Renovation works right in front is inconvenient but it’s still overall a very pleasant stay.
