The only reason I gave a 3 rating for property condition is that they are in the middle of renovations & therefore it's a bit of a mess but it is was a great place to stay & we will definitely do so again. Also a shout-out to Up cafe in the Sebel it was wonderful 👍 would definitely recommend 👍

My family enjoyed our stay in the spacious unit. The views of the Pacific Ocean and Auckland port was great. I would have given 5 stars, however both bathrooms had tiles with mildew, the fabric dining chairs had stains and carpet looked weathered. For the nightly rate of the room, I expected better room conditions. The room was outdated. Aside from this, we enjoyed our stay.

This hotel was perfect for me. It has a great location and the accommodations were more than i needed - just the way i like it! I especially enjoyed the spacious balcony overlooking the harbor. The washer and dryer in my apartment was so convenient, too.

The hotel was well located, clean and transport near by. Hotel could invest in soundproofing as you can hear drunks trying to make their way home from night spots in the area as well as hearing buskers most evenings playing on near by queen st. Otherwise I enjoyed my stay staff were helpful, slept like a log everything was a short walk away certainly a worthwhile property to stay at

It was lovely to arrive in our room and find a surprise card, chocolates and drinks to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The 2 bedroom apartment is very spacious and has everything you need. Granted the rooms are a little dated but we didn't care - we had a lovely stay - thank you

We loved the room and hotel but as id booked specifically for the spa and pool to enjoy as part of a memory from holidays it was very disappointing to find them unusable. The advertising for the hotel was false and miss leading. It soured our weekend.

Great stay in the city. Awesome location within good walking distance to everything you would need. Bit noisy due to the construction going on everywhere. Could do with a bit of an upgrade of facilities. Our WIFI didn't work & that was disappointing - but the team were very helpful and tried to fix it for us - but were unsuccessful.

The apartment was well located, dated but very clean and maintained. Very happy till it came to sleeping, although on the 19th floor the street/partying noise was ridiculous. It sounded as though we were on ground level! We were kept awake till 4am both nights with some type of karaoke happening, foot traffic was really loud and sirens and traffic was too loud to sleep through. After 2 nights here we left feeling extremely sleep deprived. If you value your sleep at the end of a busy schedule I’d NEVER recommend staying here.

The room itself was big and spacious with sliding doors in the room and lounge connecting to a nice size balcony, the bathroom was big also, bed was very comfortable, had a goid nights sleep, the only fault is because the building is very close to other big buildings, you have to close the blinds most of the day to get privacy or you'll have the office workers staring into the room.

Dated
Booked a 2 bedroom apartment for one night. I phoned ahead to ensure that one of the double beds were able to be split and ensured that would be the case. Arrived to a double bed that has no ability to be split and an ancient looking trundle bed wheeled into the lounge with a mattress as hard as rock! Not one of our group wanted to be the one to sleep on that and for the high price for the one night I felt it was an unfair ask them too, however after I complained to reception the lovely staff quickly brought up another mattress for us. The apartment was massive! very spacious, loved that the master room was very private with its own ensuite, however the room is very dated and grotty feeling. Even found an empty KFC packet left in the cupboard, gross!. The kitchen not very well equipped, wine glasses were more like sherry glasses. The beds were comfortable and great sky channel options. Unfortunately it was very noisy at night, only 7 floors up so lots of disturbing street noise. The main bathroom shower was appalling, a very old fashioned shower head and no pressure, water just dribbled out. This hotel has a great location and large spacious apartments but for the price I think they need to really up their game.
