Top Auckland Hotel Reviews

Hotel Grand Chancellor Auckland

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly and polite, however at times some were difficult to understand. Cleanliness of room was brilliant. "

ibis budget Auckland Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great and helpful with questions. Just close enough on airport property to be nice but just far enough away from the terminal to be a little less expensive. Rooms are small - but that's definitely in the advertising. Breakfast was in the adjacent building and ok but kinda expensive - like other hotel style buffets. Overall I'd stay there again. "
