Pullman Properties in Auckland

The location is unbeatable, right across from the terminal exit. First, you'll see the Novotel, and the Pullman is right next to it. You can push the airport luggage cart all the way to the hotel entrance, which is incredibly convenient for those with large luggage. Breakfast is served from 5:00 AM to 10:00 AM, with a wide variety of options, including gluten-free bread and cakes, and freshly squeezed orange juice. The hotel service is excellent; several male staff members in the lobby proactively helped with luggage and pushing the carts. The only downsides are the poor soundproofing at the door – there was constant door opening and closing noise in the hallway all night, which would be very disturbing for light sleepers. Also, the water pressure in the bathroom was not great.

This is an older hotel, and while the facilities are a bit dated, the environment is very pleasant. Our window directly overlooked Albert Park, and what's great is that the window could be opened slightly, which made for excellent ventilation. The hotel breakfast was also good. Unfortunately, because I wasn't sure if the stay would be comfortable, I only booked 2 nights initially. When I tried to book a third night, the hotel was fully booked, so I had to switch to a different hotel. I requested a late check-out, and that was quickly arranged.
