There is an excellent laundry on the ground floor. The staff are very friendly. The only two issues are, first, that Wi-Fi is not provided by default, and second, the hotel does not take fire safety seriously: at least on the 18th floor, where I lived, the fire door that is supposed to stay closed was wedged open and fixed in that position. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Brett 11 Oct 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Photos of building in website looks stunning but when you see it it is far from the photos. Paint in hallways/rooms coming off. Basically run down.

Loud music and fights in the corridor leading to holes in the wall and the police being called armed with tasers. Avoid if you’re with young children. ##### Nichola Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Grace 28 Jul 2023 Disliked: Amenities Photos of building in website looks stunning but when you see it it is far from the photos.

Value for money. We stayed here for two nights. Overall, good accommodation and clean rooms. Tea, coffee, towels, linen, soap and shampoo are provided. There is a convenient shop next to the building but closes at about 9pm. Restaurants and other shopping places are little bit far – about 15 to 20 min walk. Train stations including “The Strand Station” are little bit far and need taxi. Only street parking is available and free between 6pm and 8am. All other time need to pay for parking (about 4NZD per hour). Very helpful reception and accommodate late check-in (about 10pm). Reception staff given us good useful information about the area. Wifi is available but need to pay to use. I will use them again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shay 29 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great apartment for what we needed giid price too! ##### Shay Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DAN 27 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The only downfall was that the bathroom was falling apart.

Brilliant! ##### DAN Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### JaznJo 23 Dec 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Looked like the building was crying it's that sad. Stayed in backpackers better. ##### JaznJo Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 20 Dec 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness You get what you pay for with this accommodation—ideal for budget travelers looking for a no-frills room with a bed. The area primarily caters to students, so it has a bit of a dormitory vibe. The bed was decent, but the shower was small and had a curtain instead of a door. The room could have used an extra cleaning, as there was a strange smell that required us to open the windows for ventilation. That said, for a one-night stay at this price, I can't complain. The location in Auckland is excellent, close to Queen Street. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lonappan jacob 7 Dec 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is mainly for university students and working people who are in college or university.

Will stay here again. ##### Nigel Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ford 9 Nov 2024 Property was ok for the night, but room was very basic and quality of the bed was average. Loud drunk neighbours at 1am, with occasional yelling. But I do realise that the apartment is in a student location and designed for that market. ##### Ford Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Emma 4 Nov 2024 Facilities were average but that is reflected in the price and basically what we expected.

Cheap accommodation. Insufficient seating or space available for the 6 adults booked. Lounge area that was shown in photos appeared to have been converted to a 3rd bedroom.
