The location and the style of the hotel
The horible smell in the hall way by the room entrance The bed was sinking in the middle mad for bad sleep
Location was great.Woolies a five minute walk away.Nice large room.
Very small table.No dishwashers- only a brush.
Love how it kept some of the history sentimental things of the property, since it use to be a railway station and how close it is to the Spark Arena - the room was cosy loved the bed was comfortable and modern bathroom and how I could sync my apps eg: Netflix YouTube and Spotify to the tv - I was never bored - loved how it had a mini fridge freezer - I would definitely book here again
Didn’t like that I couldn’t open the windows due to my height but did get one of the cleaning staff to open my bedroom one I couldn’t open the bathroom one it felt stuck when trying to pull the string I was not shown how to open it when I arrived when I was shown to my room - cleaning staff may need to brush up on English - I’m not trying to be nasty she was lovely the female cleaning staff but she barely knew any English as I tried to ask her so had to use use one English word at a time to make her understand what I was wanting
It's an easy walk to downtown or to the university.
The noise from renovation work was extreme for an hour or so.
Great location
立地の利便性が高く、施設も大変に清潔だった。
4泊のうち2日間、施設内のホールでイベントやテレビの収録が行われていて、その間、通常は施錠されている宿泊施設の入口の扉が解放されていて、誰でも出入りができる状態だった。その点、セキュルティ上の心配があった。
Convenient to everything we needed, Warm clean and had everything we needed
Water temp in shower exceedingly hot. Might need to reduce the temperature. The dishwashing soap did not soap to clean the dishes and the dispenser in the shower did not work. Just an observation not a criticism
Great value
Unique reception area Easy check-in
歷史氛圍:飯店改建自舊火車站,充滿歷史魅力與文化底蘊。 絕佳位置:鄰近 The Strand Station,對計畫搭乘北方探索號(Northern Explorer)的旅人來說地理位置無可挑剔。 空間與整潔:房間寬敞且打掃得非常乾淨,整體性價比(CP值)極高。 衛浴體驗:淋浴水壓強勁、熱水充足,洗澡非常舒服放鬆。 安全保障:設有門禁管制,出入單純且令人安心。 附有簡易小廚房:可以吃點熱食或喝個熱飲。
no
The room is spacious with ever thing you need for living. The bathroom is modern with a great shower and the beds are pretty Comfey
In the evening in particular there is the smell of cigarette smoke in the bathroom. It can be quite strong at times even with the fan on
Good value for money, spacious room and comfortable bed.
A little out of the CBD. Lots of banging in the room next door to me at 1130pm on the 2nd and 3rd last night of my stay
The bed was comfortable and appeared clean It has a heat pump and electric blankets which was a welcome touch The staff at front desk were helpful So so close to Spark Arena gutted the concert was cancelled Close parking Friendly housekeeping lady refreshing towels etc around lunchtime
The curtains are dirty The windows are dirty The carpet has stains We got locked out of the bathroom and had to get the staff member to unlock it somehow The tv only had Freeview It mentioned a minibar but the fridge was empty The lamps were dirty and had seen better days The paint in the room was rough The inner courtyard view we had to block with the curtains as it was really sad The room was quite far away from lobby had to walk through a huge communal space that had a heavy curry smell and past a room that smelt and had the door open The place had a strange unsafe feel to it Had prepaid room and still had to pay another fee just incase of damage but the room was fairly low budget and run down anyway
Ubicación, limpieza, todo excelente
Excellent all round
Nothing
Excellent location to our event.lots of shops and bars nearby.20 minute walk to the casino.100% would stay here again.
Location was excellent, 2 minute walk to Spark arena
No smoke alarm, evidence of one previous, not very clean, badly needed a interior paint.
Ubicación, personal muy atento, muy limpio y confortable. Baño muy cómodo
it was right next door to spark arena and we had an event on there
Large and close to spark arena
Literally right next to Spark Arena 😊 and our room was very spacious and tidy. The lady (I think Ivy) was very accommodating, friendly and helpful.
Our room was next to the railway and you can here it at night and so sleeping was a struggle. One night, There was a kid too running back and forth at 10:30pm and it echoes in the hallway and building.
It was the perfect location to spark arena and I had parking right outside the door, the lady on reception was super nice. My room was very clean and it had tea/coffee and good basic amenities.
Don't go in expecting it to be like a nice hotel and you won't be disappointed.
Great service and comfort as always, even when the Indian prime minister was holding a massive gathering at Spark Arena next door! Thanks manager Ivy for giving up her parking space for me. Much appreciated.
Location
Noise from train
Nothing
Everything
Reception staff (Ivy) were very helpful and considerate.
The room we were at seems to have low soundproof quality as we could hear a lot of noises from outside.
Good location
Nothing
Convenient location, good size apartment with good amenities and reflected in the price.
TV reception was terrible. Only one channel ok and even that kept cutting out. Noisy with train line across the road.
I will book again
Great location. Literally next door to Spark Arena. Great carparking out the front. Spacious room. Comfy large bed. Nice toiletries. Spacious bathroom. Ample tea, coffee etc sachets. The reception lady was pleasant & helpful.
The walls could do with a good wipe & vacuum under the beds.
Beautiful old building (ex Auckland Railway Station) converted to accommodation. Room was pleasant enough, decent size with small table and little kitchenette with microwave etc. Host was lovely and showed us personally to our room. Right next door to Spark Arena and 10 min walk to Britomart. Very handy with easy parking onsite.
Close to train station
A little run down
Location
Smells of food from other Units
Clean and tidy , bathroom modern clean great water pressure and temperature, friendly staff, great sized room close location for the lower city. Great use of beautiful old building only stayed the one night so was unable to check out the whole place lol forward to another staycation.
For me the bed was bit lumpy but the other half said it was good. Storage of trains means you will hear shunting at times,
Great location and beautiful old building. Very comfortable room and bed.
The carpet could have been cleaner.
Convenience
Did not hv a bathmat so had to use a hand towel. The room was topped up with the amenities
Excellent location. Beautiful old building. Quiet. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Large shared kitchen.
Front desk very friendly and helpful. Would stay again . Great location. Next to Spark Arena.
They were so accomodating! Our flight was in the afternoon and they worked with us and gave us a later check out. Staff were super friendly. Location was super convenient to spark arena and the inner city bus stop. The showers are really high pressure. Electric blankets were such a good touch and the room had plenty of power points. The building itself is really cool. Will stay again!
No cooking amenities in the room we stayed in but there was a communal kitchen. The peep hole had no cover on it but we easily covered it up.
Location
Price
The staff are very welcoming. The room are clean and comfortable.
The entrance going to the lift
Location, clean room
Had great character and the room was quite comfortable.
A lot of noise could be heard from our room. Wouldn’t be good for light sleepers.
Close to town, had everything we needed.
Was a Little outdated but great for what you pay!
The apartment was in a convenient location was clean and adequate
The room was a bit rough and untidy in places. There was rubbish outside the window and overall could do with a refurbish especially in the bathroom
Right next door to the Spark Arena (we were going to a concert there)
The hallway where the room was located was very noisy with slamming doors early in the morning
Everything
Nothing
Room was clean, spacious and warm. Good WiFi connection. Able to open windows for fresh air. Nights are quiet.
My bed needs an update. It was comfortable enough but would have been awful to sleep in as a couple (severe dip in centre). Did not realise that trains would go past right outside every 5min. Might want to use earplugs if light sleeper.
Comfortable bed with bathroom. Tiled floor going through to the bathroom with a slight elevation between the tiled room and the bathroom but a "watch your step" warning has been put in place which is good for safety so no trip hazard. Good location not too far from the main areas in the CBD. Fairly quiet area overall compared to staying closer to a noisier Queen Street. Stayed here before and would again.
The room/bathroom needs a bit of love due to wear and tear. Behind the shower between the shower and the wall was a big gap which definitely needed a clean/wipe. Skirting boards also need updating in the room/s as were pretty rough
Everything was spotless. The bedding, carpets, towels, bathroom sinks, shower, and toilets were all immaculate. Your cleaners did an outstanding job. The location and parking near Spark Arena were perfect. I’ll definitely be back when there are more concerts I want to attend.
The pillows are okay, but the mattress is just average. I didn’t get a good night’s sleep. The late check-out time of 12 PM is too short.
Location to concert venue. Room was sufficient for the night.
Was quite noisey.
It was quite a spacious room, with a comfortable bed and the basic kitchen supplies. The bathroom was also nice, small but decent and the water pressure from the shower is amazing. I didn’t realise but they also have little body wash and face wash bottles for the guests which comes in handy if you don’t bring any yourself. The hotel is also a few steps from the nearby Spark Arena venue which was amazing to discover, we were expecting to walk a lot further than we did but it’s only a few steps away!
My only concern I’d say was that our room was a little of a longer walk from the lobby, and us being two paranoid girls at night, it was kinda scary getting to the room late at night. However nothing happened, which is good. It was also a little noisy because of the nearby trains starting up in the morning, but not too much of a problem.
Was ok for 1 night
Old building , dark
Its a beautiful building a lot of history location great and staff friendly , stayed there several times
Was heavily stained carpets room and found a cockroach jump out from bed side table right as was packing to leave
I loved the free room upgrade from double to king studio. The staff was nice on check in. Fast and easy check in. The room size was amazing. The bathroom Bed was clean. Everything was spot on! Location was spot on. Pillows so comfy. So spacious. Absolutely amazing! Would stay here again. Its worth every cent. It's affordable but luxury above and beyond what I paid.
Nothing. Everything 10/10
