Our stay at the Holiday Inn, Auckland City was absolutely fantastic. The staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Service across the entire hotel was consistently top-notch and professional. Best of all, it features the best location in town, making it exceptionally easy to walk to local attractions, dining, and transit options. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Auckland and will definitely stay here again!

The staff was really nice. The breakfast was not really my thing and their could have been more variety. The scrambled egg was the best. The hotel room itself was good. Big bed and a great small fridge. The TV had only about 7 working Programms and the bedsheets unfortunately had holes in them. They should also change the towels, because they where also not in a great condition. Big shower. Big enough room for one person. The window blinds where awesome, literally no light came in, great thing.

We got a room with two queen beds and it was small - but clean and comfortable. We had a great view of the Sky Tower and downtown Auckland. Everything was kept beautiful and clean. The breakfast buffet was amazing: scrambled eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, pastries, and (my family’s new favorite) baked beans. The staff were helpful and friendly. This is such a great location for exploring Auckland since you’re in walking distance of Albert Park, the quay, and loads of great restaurants and shops. If you’re on a budget and you’re looking for a great deal, this hotel is hard to beat.
