Hostellit – East Auckland

"Good room, friendly staff"

"Tiny room and very basic. We only slept there 5 hours before our early flight. The airport bus stops right in front which is handy."

"There was a swimming pool that was not mentioned on hotels.com. it saved a lot. The rental car return was quite a challenge. Most difficult was to find the tranfer from the airport to the hotel. I guess it would not be so hard to organixe the alphabets from A to D."

"Service good, food's goods, rooms a bit old"

"I spent 8 nights at the Holiday Inn Express Auckland City Centre and would describe it as a solid 4-star hotel — practical, clean, and well located. The central location was perfect for sightseeing and getting around on foot. My room on the 11th floor had beautiful sunset views. It was basic in terms of decor, but Chromecast access was a great feature. The bed was comfortable, and there was a small gym and guest laundry, both useful for longer stays. Breakfast was included, though after a few days it started to feel a bit repetitive. A useful tip for longer stays: you can ask reception to have the chef prepare something different. They also provide breakfast boxes, which I used twice for early tours — just order ahead. Staff were generally friendly and helpful. The bar offered good wines, although the selection was limited. Only downside was the inconsistent housekeeping: coffee cups weren't cleaned or replaced during the entire stay, trash was sometimes missed, and bed-making could have been better. All in all, a good choice if you’re looking for a central, comfortable stay at a reasonable price. I paid around 70€ per night, and felt the value matched what was offered."
