The location of this hotel is perfect with skytower in sire and 1 block from Queen street the main shopping area. It's an easy walk to the harbour from there as well. There are many coffee shops and restaurants on the block. The breakfast buffet has multiple choices of hot and cold food. I stayed here for 7 weeks and greatly appreciated the convenience and found staff very helpful.

This hotel is located in an excellent location. It's a short walk to the water where the boat tours are. It's also a short walk to the Sky Tower and the bus station. There are hundreds of restaurants and businesses nearby within walking distance. The taxi fare to and from the airport was about $95 in New Zealand dollars each way. The room was clean, and the staff were extremely helpful. The breakfast was really good. The TV didn't have many channels, but you can use your Netflix account on the TV. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Auckland.
