Most uncomfortable bed ever. It felt like lying on concrete. Stairs to ground level were outside and felt dangerous in the rain. But hosts were friendly and carried bags up and down stairs for me. Good big fridge.

The property was dirty on arrival, only given 1 towel, 1 hand towel and 1 face cloth for 4 guests. Right by main road so noisy traffic. Sheets had stains and you have to pay extra $10 if you want clean towels for next day. Floor looked like its never been mopped and tv has hand and finger prints all over screen on arrival. Found out the motel is used as emergency housing facility. Overall, very disappointed and will not be returning 😒

The people in office were really nice. But we booked for executive king suite. It was not a king bed. It was a queen size. We booked with 2 other couples for the same room. They got a king bed in there rooms. But we didnt. We all paid the same price too. So thats only the down side part about our stay.

First and foremost, fantastic staff. The staff have been very helpful and accommodating on both of my visits here, which is probably why I chose to come back the second time. The rooms I have stayed in are great. They are clean, comfortable, quiet, and have had everything that I've needed. The location is central enough to access shops, cafes, and restaurants. Overall, it's been awesome, and I'll be booking again in the future! Cheers guys.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
well where do I start. We had to ask for milk as we werent given any at check in. The condiments hadnt been topped up. The microwave had food splattered in it. The fridge was filthy inside and out. The mirror in the bathroom was dirty and the chromeware was dirty. We asked for blankets as was freezing. The duvets were almost pee stained and one duvet had blood stains on it. In the morning, time for a shower, but guess what? NO HOT WATER!!!!! i reported this to reception, by then bloody angry. the guy from the office was of no help. he said he would speak to his Manager. Apparently there was a electrical fault which resulted in no hot water. we have asked for a FULL REFUND but was given $82 instead of $186, this is because of booking fees and other fees involved. Ill never return. The Regal Residency Auckland is the worst paid accommodation i have ever stayed at.

Manager Gary went out of his way consistently to make sure our needs were met. He was friendly and courteous and we felt safe staying in the motel. The rooms are updated and spacious and had everything we needed. We are international visitors vacationing in New Zealand and were in Auckland twice between traveling between different parts of the country- we chose to return to this hotel the second time too.

This place is in desperate need of a renovation. It’s being held together by positive vibes & duct tape (literally). Also needs a thorough clean. We went out to get some drain cleaner as the smell was terrible and it didn’t do much unfortunately. The highlight would be the staff. They are extremely friendly, helpful and very busy. I’m sure they’d love an extra set of hands.
