I stayed for one night before an early flight out of Auckland...so I saw it as a brief, handy stopover. I knew I had one of the cheaper rooms so I wasn't expecting much, but it compared very badly with places I've paid less for in other parts of New Zealand....and indeed, other parts of Auckland. My room was dingy,... more

It was at the back of the hotel overlooking the airconditioning... more

We encountered a number of problems at the hotel: -The room we were initially given reeked of cigarette smoke--despite the hotel being 'non-smoking.' -The shower did not drain properly. Both of... more

Dumpy hotel, but it was clean, cheap, and I got a good sleep. I was expecting much worse given the somewhat dim and low-class tenement looking hallway (with the fire door propped open with a wood plank so the guests could smoke out there), but the room was fine. Walls were thin and you could hear guests walking by down... more
