Lovely area, restaurants and bars opposite the hotel. ##### Nicola Stayed 1 night in May 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Susan 5 Dec 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities Staff assistance was excellent. Tiny window No AC though there was a fan. Couldnt get tv chanels. One pillow was old and extremely discoloured. Walls and decor were tired, marked and overall in need of refurbishment. Shower was cleanish although wall shelf was broken and cracked and the pressure non existant. If you needed a place to crash and didnt mind the hostel/student accomodation like environment then it would be sufficient. ##### Susan Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Brett 10 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities convenient and good location ##### Brett Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Pip 28 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Clean and convenient. ##### Pip Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Gregory 3 Feb 2025 Liked: Staff & service It was very convenient to shops and restaurants.

Good price for Parnell. Liked that they allow dogs ($50/night) and have parking ($10/night, first come first served). Was clean and the check in lady was nice. Absolutely fantastic restaurants within a couple minutes walk. I'd stay there again. ##### Justine Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Paul 15 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Beautiful location. Close to The city centre.

It’s not the Ritz but I couldn’t afford that. Was fairly quiet, hot in the room, fan provided. Couldn’t adjust temperature in shower. Wanted a cold one but couldn’t seem to change it. Easy to access. Never actually saw any staff ##### Lynda Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### janet 8 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities We liked the fact it was clean bedding, but we were cold. Bed not very comfortable, thin uncomfortable pillow. TV did not work, milk stale it spoilt our coffee and could not drink it. Would not go back. ##### janet Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I needed a one night stay close to the train station and this location checked those boxes and was a good value. It was an unusual commercial building style layout that had me wondering about the conversion to hostel. Clever. When I first stepped into the lobby it felt like a doctor's Office rather than a hostel. But the staff met me and put me at ease, ensured I had wifi. The room had everything I required for my short stay, including extra blankets and heaters for the cold night. It and was very clean.It fits the category of a quiet private hostel room for the right price in a fantastic neighborhood. ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ann 2 Mar 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property was not well maintained, no staff presence at reception. The smoke alarm had been disarmed and put in the wardrobe. The TV did not work. There was no cutlery to stir your cup of tea/coffee or a place. All in all very very disappointing and definitely unsafe. ##### Ann Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Cousins 6 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities While the Parnell area is lovely with plenty of shopping, restaurants, and close to central city, this is basically a one star property. However the staff were very good! We arrived to find reception unmanned and had to ring a cell phone - problem 1 - I didn't have a phone! We were asked to pay upfront by card - problem 2 - I was overcharged by $103 and didn't notice until I got to our room. Problem 3 - the owner resides (?) overseas and receptionist did not have authority to make a refund - it took contact with Expedia to sort out and I got refunded the day before we checked out. The photos on Expedia are clearly old - there is a noisy bar attached to the front of the property - not a Gelato shop, not Lala Coffee Shop. The bar sells a smoking product via a hookah and has direct access to the toilets which are in the reception area - this is a security risk and it is not the only one - the lower floor side door is never closed - even when it is raining! The stairwell has direct access to the hallways on which the rooms are based. I recommend anyone staying here uses the room door security chain. The wifi is poor and the TV services stutter as the TV only runs on wifi streaming - no aerial. The condition of the room is "run down" with marked paint work on the walls.The bathroom is also run down - the lino had not been laid properly and looked to have been done by an amateur. The sink was cracked and the large mirror was badly marked with water damage (to the rear). ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8d2fca30-ab77-4c4c-a6f9-8deae18c4e09-1765013691126.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f13dafc6-3b49-4ee4-b1c9-3441356ae7c8-1765013702582.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3d908e46-772b-47bf-bd7c-be82d3ed49ab-1765013720245.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bff3a8ee-b924-4d47-bdd5-2db341161942-1765013733306.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Cousins Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Jason 17 Dec 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Having stayed at various similar hotels in same price bracket, its pretty basic. The Hostel at NewMarket (No9) is the same price, more modern, larger rooms, larger ensuite, has Aircon, TV works, harder beds and generally cleaner. I had a long wait as theirs no permanent manned reception, as I bounce thru phone numbers on the front window. No Aircon. Parking is $10\. WiFi is free but no signage anywhere (but I worked it out). TV is hilarious - fixed maximum volume with no ability to adjust. Generally clean (ensuite is immaculate), but bedroom wall had a lot of food splatter on it. Bed is medium soft. There's plenty of potential, wish the venue well for the future. ##### Jason Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Baz 2 Apr 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness The rear door was open at all times which was convenient to access our car but the manager's apartment is right beside it so still felt safe. Staff were friendly and helpful, at the restaurant too was a lovely staff member but the food could have been a little more exciting. Bedroom was very hot as we were north facing with no air conditioning but still slept well that night. The bathroom was really dirty though, again everything was so bright with the sun beaming in and no way to block it out. There is another floor of rooms below the main floor that I suspect are tenanted by long-stayers, the smell of cannabis wafted through the stairwell anytime you walked past. In the carpark there was dried toilet tissue and fecal matter that hadn't been properly washed away, it all clearly came from a flooded sewerage overflow which was a bit gross but I imagine this happens any time it rains heavily due to where the carpark is situated down a steep driveway at the back of the property. You get what you pay for, Parnell is a lovely part of Auckland and you are situated right in the heart of it. ##### Baz Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Raymond 22 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities The room was very clean But when I rang about the remote not working didn't get a reply. Discovered later there was no battery in the remote. No wonder it didn't work. Their guests were very inconsiderate making lots of noise around 10 and then at 12.45am . 10 hot points in the room but no USB . I forgot to take my adapter ! Check in Staff were very pleasant. ##### Raymond Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Pip 13 Dec 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Good location. Quiet. Not many amenities but otherwise basic, clean and tidy. ##### Pip Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linton 23 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness Parnell Pines isn't the Ritz but it's really great. It's right in the middle of Parnell, on the inner city bus route, and the room was clean and just fine. But the best thing is the rooms are extremely good value. Highly recommended. ##### Linton Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Nicola 27 Feb 2026 Room is fine and all good for price. No aircon and a bit dated but location is perfect for a gig at the domain. No issues. Just basic. What you would expect for price you pay. ##### Nicola Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrienne 11 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our family had a wonderful stay at Parnell Pines.
