Pictures were nothing like the property. We went in to find dirty floors and tiles, broken hanging from the wall towel rail, grubby walls, broken uneven tiles, place smelt like it hadnt been opened in quite some time. Checked in then left after 30mins after we booked elsewhere, with zero refund. Couldnt bring ourselves to stay. Photos dont even show how bad it was

This place shouldn’t be advertised on Expedia. It was abysmal. From the photos I thought I was booking an affordable hotel. Instead it’s more like a halfway house with mystery stains everywhere, curtains hanging off railings, cigarette burns in the furniture, zero privacy. We ended up having to find other accomodation at 2am in the morning after two long haul flighst. Turns out VR Auckland Airport is actually Aero Auckland Airport Hotel with 2.2 stars on Google and numerous reviews complaining about the mould and smell. 2.2 stars is generous.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The fact of having to go next door to the reception and to have dinner in the restaurant was not appealing especially as a single woman walking there alone at night, I made sure I was back in my room before dark. The air con was fantastic in the room as too were the clean sheets n bedding. Outdated furniture and cracked tiles in the bathroom needs attention, the bed of springs was not comfortable at all. But the shuttle service to and from the airport was why I choose this place.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Was what you expected, I hoped for a little more in the room, but was just a place to sleep for a few hours until I woke up to go to the airport. Staff were friendly, shared kitchen and bathroom was run down, and my curtain/window from my room opened to a view of them both, not outside. Did have one fella stick his arm through at one point when walking the hallway, which wasn’t amazing but no big deal to just close it. Airport shuttle was the best thing, ran regularly and 24 hours, made the trip to the place and then back to the airport early hours of the morning stress free.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room we were given was so hot (like a sauna). No air conditioning. We went to open the sliding door (which had trouble sliding) and a window by the door was half open and broken. The room did not appear to be very clean. Old dirty carpeting. The bathroom needs serious updating. Only one bath towel in the room. No facecloths. No hand towel. The hallways in the building were so dirty. We brought all this to the desk staff's attention, and they gave us a room at the neighboring hotel The Gateway for an extra charge. That room was a huge improvement and had air conditioning, and the building was cleaner. We appreciated being moved. The VR Auckland Airport Hotel needs air conditioned rooms and a serious upgrade and deep clean.
