The stay and staff were fantastic. This hotel turned an otherwise failure of a trip bearable. I was able to eat at various places, get a couple of massages, do some shopping and enjoy myself even though I couldn't do any of the things I went to Auckland for due to an information data breach and having to get and wait for new debit and credit cards, as well and heavy rains and winds cancelling my more adventurous outings.

Fabulous and affordable with great location

This property has a great location just off Queen Street with easy access from two sides. Modern and welcoming reception area with friendly staff. Breakfast was varied and well stocked and a 15% discount given if you have a meal at the Voco hotel next door. Rooms were big enough for a family but housekeeping was not great - we had two days where it had not been done by 1500 and needed to request extra towels daily. This was quickly rectified by the staff on both occasions. I would recommend as a very good budget friendly hotel with a central location. Overall a pleasant stay.
