WOuld stay there again! ##### Phil Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jan Jaap 6 Feb 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Nice hotel, slightly outdated facilities but at the same time characteristic. Very nice staff and the combination of hotel with restaurant and pub is nice if you don't mind the noise. ##### Jan Jaap Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Garth 27 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location and an iconic building ##### Garth Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Roseanne 8 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good location in Auckland CBD Nice hotel above a brew pub so can get a bit noisy at night but not too bad. The building is historic so no elevator but the staff helped me with my bags. Many things within walking distance. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/68EA31C67A92EF4DF7C3DBCBA7647BB6A3F9A0941741405907996.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Roseanne Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathy 22 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This historic tavern is well-preserved and well run. My partner & I stayed in-house but had our meals in the bar downstairs and enjoyed the boutique beer/cider. The atmosphere is relaxing & the meals well-presented and very enjoyable. The staff were very welcoming and helpful with any enquiries. The ladies toilet was the only disappointment: it is in dire need of a makeover as it was pretty old, messy & needing some repairs in the walls, etc. ##### Cathy Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jo-Ann 13 Nov 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Lovely and comfortable but getting a bit tired. Room needs a good paint. Food was very good. ##### Jo-Ann Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lurcelle 3 Feb 2025 Liked: Staff & service Courteous staff. No elevator is the main negative concern, but the staff were very helpful in assisting us to carry our luggage up to the 3rd floor. ##### Lurcelle Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alexandra 15 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities I loved the hotel. There were a few small things that were a bit of an issue but everything was perfect. The staff were nice and made check in easy ##### Alexandra Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keizo 18 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities It was a wonderful hotel that I would like to visit again. The staff were very kind to me even though I didn't speak much English. ##### Keizo Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joe 8 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Climbing Good cost effective clean and comfy stay. Four flights of stairs, so I hope you like climbing. ##### Joe Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### solangie 12 Oct 2023 Liked: Staff & service There was an excellent service but the didn't clean the room while we were there but the food and the bar are excellent and with a great location ##### solangie Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Gillian 6 Mar 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a lovely old pub. Our room was on the third floor up six flights of steps with a heavy suitcase we are in our 60’s the staff didn’t offer to help. Food and beer was excellent ##### Gillian Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Donald 7 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The room was clean and quiet.It would have been nice to have some milk for a cup of tea but the clesner did not understsnd my request duebto very limited english,otherwise it was good ##### Donald Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Derek 16 Jan 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The price and location were awesome. The place is very old and you get what you pay for. Also, the parking nearby is pretty expensive. You’re better off staying here if you don’t have a car, want to save some money and be the middle of everything. ##### Derek Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### David 22 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Friendly staff, small but clean room, handy to Sky City bus depot for Intercity & airport. Bar & food on site. Be aware there is no lift if you have heavy luggage and are in a 3rd floor room (storage lockers available at bus depot). ##### David Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nettie 27 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Shakespeare hotel No one was there when I arrived. Doors all locked. Rang bell. Nothing. Luckily someone was coming out and we were able to store luggage. No hair dryer. I didn’t have right outlet converter. They did lend me one!!! Good location and close and walkable for sites! ##### Nettie Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bhagya 27 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Room was on 3rd floor and as this hotel is very old there wasn’t a lift and had to climb the stairs every single time, staff was helpful with carrying luggage’s all the way up and down bless them. Very annoying to back and forth with stairs specially when your room is at level three. I was exhausted. ##### Bhagya Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert 2 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities So, it is an older property in a building with great character. A little challenge to find in that the Pub is obvious but not so obvious is the hotel above the pub. No elevator. Small rooms that will need some attention over time. Great location in central downtown. Fit all the things we needed. ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel 4 Feb 2024 Liked: Staff & service It is a great concept Brewery, Restaurant and Hotel. It is centrally located and can walk to alot ie: Bay Harbor,Museums, Sky tower, food, and public transit options. They do not have a front desk. So don't get in earlier than said check in. The room I was is could use an upgrade. But it had what I needed a bed and shower. And when I asked for a hair dryer I forgot mine. They let me borrow one. ##### Rachel Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Elizabeth 24 Nov 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities only thing positive was location, central to everything we wanted to do. The hallway smelt very musty, nearly knocked you over when you opened the door. the window did not have a lock, towel rail in bathroom was not there. The remote for Tv did not work, the mattress was stained . ##### Elizabeth Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Medadane 3 Mar 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities I had read the reviews before booking, so I was aware of what I might be in for. However, I found the check in quite helpful – there was an issue in the bathroom which staff apologised profusely for and as they were booked out he would have preferred to give me another room, but this understandably wasn’t possible. I arrived quite late, but this wasn’t an issue. It was conveniently located to my workshop and the room was lovely enough for the price. Unfortunately the shower was quite dirty but the room was nice and clean. The only other issue was a loud, drunk person outside in the hallway, but this wasn’t the hotels fault and thankfully it didn’t go on for too long. ☺️ ##### Medadane Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nishtah 2 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff and service were super friendly and accommodating. Having the pub on the bottom floor was so convenient and they offered guests a discount on pub food and drink which was awesome as the pub food was super good 😊 Unfortunately no elevator which I can see being an issue for older visitors or those with a lot of luggage, but it was fine for us. We honestly did not mind the 4 floor walk up to our room every night. The building is old, but that adds to the charm and they provided us with plenty of blankets and a space heater to help with the Auckland winter. Had to keep the bathroom window open a crack to help with ventilation but after an hour or two it was fine to be shut. The hotel as a whole is super conveniently located and we could walk to anything located within the city center area, or just take the short walk to a bus/train stop(s) close by. From our room we could hear the regular city/street noises, but nothing too loud to keep us awake, and I'm a pretty light sleeper, so it doesn't take much to wake me up. ##### Nishtah ### 10/10 Excellent #### Addison 26 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great stay ##### Addison Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Andre 1 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Good based on price.
