Great Hotel - The Chancellor on Hobson!

It was a short stay before heading to the airport and everything about the hotel was delightful, especially the staff! They were very helpful with making sure we had what we needed and greeted us enthusiastically each interaction. I would definitely recommend booking a stay.

The hotel is very close to the city and the wharves. It is getting tired now, and our rooms on the first floor, were a bit dark and dingy. But it suited us for the night.

I’ve stayed previously and it was an awful experience. With the recent rebrand, I thought I would give them a second chance, however it was just as terrible as I recall. The staff were great, the facilities were the problem. Dirty, broken tiles, missing curtain loops, cracked mirror, stained carpet and the “accessible” bathroom was not at all that - the only concession being a walk-in (tiny) shower. The water pressure was good. The bed was average to poor. I travel regularly to Auckland and have paid less to stay at better facilities. I won’t be booking here again.

Great stay. Front desk guys were wonderful- so professional, polite and helpful. They allowed me to check in early- since my flight got in very early and I was very tired. They helped me with food options and directions. Super location- you can walk to so much including the ferry !! I def recommended staying here- and it’s very reasonable.
