Auckland Birkenhead Hotels

The entrance to this motel is difficult to find. There are two buildings and two separate parking lots. When we checked in, there was no one at the front desk and the door was locked. A staff member came to the reception desk as soon as we called. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is equipped with cutlery. There is also a dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. There are also individually wrapped detergent packets. It was unfortunate that ants appeared in the sink and the bread we bought got covered in ants. We had two rooms, so we asked if there were ants in the other room, and they were sleeping happily with ants in the other room. However, other than that, the view was great and the room was wonderful.

My colleague recommended it to me after staying there! This is the first time I've stayed at a hotel of this model. First of all, it's located in the city center and the transportation is very convenient! There's a big supermarket right outside the door! It only takes a few minutes to get to the famous ancient buildings and the Sky Tower, a popular landmark nearby. The most convenient thing is that there is a kitchen on the first floor! You can go to the supermarket and buy the food you want to cook! I would say this is the most satisfying and suitable experience for me to go to Auckland alone! I will stay here again next time I come.

Room 101 was out through the first floor fire exit door, which led down to the car park. We couldn't have the curtains open because the windows overlooked another multi storied carpark and even if we did there was not a lot of natural light coming in. We couldn't have the window open because of the outside noise which went on until gone 7pm and started up again at 4.15 am making sleep almost impossible. The main room was compact and tidy but the toilet cum shower room was tiny and cramped. The bed was comfortable though. I would recommend asking for a room on the upper levels.

I am travelling with family with kids and elderly. The grand is probably the best central location that you can find in Auckland if you are taking public transport. The pickup and dropoff for Skybus to Auckland airport is a 5 min walk away. The surrounding has plenty of restaurants including japanese & Chinese food. Facilities wise it has a gym and a heated swimming pool which the kids enjoy. Room is clean & spacious. Hotel price wise is on a high but weighing all the plus points, I will book it again for all the reasons above.

The best thing is the location. Very central in Cbd. Same place to go to the Sky Tower. A short walk to the harbour and easy walk to Queen Street, our main walkaround area.

it was good for location and i booked on short notice, spacious and central in city

Such a great place to stay. You get a whole apartment for yourself with a kitchenette and washing machine. Great view of the sky tower and well equipped accommodation in the very center of the city. Such a great experience.

This hotel sits almost next to the Sky City and Sky Towers and very close to the airport bus stops but is a long walk towards the harbour. So it depends what your intention was. Other than that we didn't use any of the facilities or breakfast so there is not much to comment on their qualities. The check in was a bit of slow as the staff seemed too distracted by a chatty customer in front of us to clear the queue first.
