Hotels Near Fairlands Reserve in Auckland

We stayed one night at the motel as a result of the end of January flooding in Auckland which had caused our flight to Vancouver to be cancelled. Ian was very accommodating - when we checked in, we weren’t sure how many nights we would need as our flight had not been re-booked at that time, so he moved us to a room that was available for at least 3 nights. Our room (12) was spacious and clean and had everything we needed. The mall at New Lynn is within walking distance and has plenty of food options as well as shops. The motel provided great value for money in our opinion.

TLDR: no aircon, constant power cuts, paper thin walls.. Where do I start. First off there’s no aircon so the rooms are hot and uncomfortable. There are ducted low speed fans which don’t do much. But the biggest problem is the fact the rooms are on what I believe to be motion sensors or some kind of timers so ALL power turns off every 25 seconds, this is not an exaggeration. This includes the lights, jug, the fan - everything. I stubbed my toes in the dark because the lights turned off while I was walking around, and they wouldn’t turn back on. Showering in the dark due the lights constantly on and off. Good luck making a coffee, showering, watching TV or anything without that being interrupted by constant power cuts which drive you mad. I booked the small room. They look small in the photos but even smaller in person and I felt like I was suffocating, the rooms are tiny so heat up like crazy. The smallest hotel room I’ve ever seen. Also the walls are paper thin so I could hear my neighbours conversations word for word.. even with ear plugs. If there was air con and sound proof walls, I could have put up with the extremely small space. Terrible experience. Don’t even bother with this place. The Abstract had a lot of potential as they have decorated it very nicely but they have let themselves down. It is also in a dangerous area of Auckland central so you will want to make sure you are back in your room by dark, lots of drunk homeless people around. After my first night of zero sleep due to the heat, stuffiness and neighbours chatting, I complained and had my room kindly upgraded to a larger one, but the same issues remained of constant power cuts and no air con in that room too. At least it was a bit cooler due to being larger and an extra window, also had no neighbours.. The customer service was pretty good. There is no parking on site so you have to park in a carpark building across the road. The food in the restaurant was average but has a beautiful outdoor dining area which was the highlight.

**Review of Kiwi International Hotel, Auckland** During my stay at the Kiwi International Hotel in Auckland, I was greeted by an unfriendly and cold reception from an island woman at the front desk. If it weren't for my pre-paid booking and the exhaustion from a long flight, I would have left immediately. Despite the unwelcoming start, the rooms were comfortable, though the windows were rattling and let in cold air. The hotel's location is quite central, just 100 meters from the lively nightlife of K'Rd and 200 meters from Uncle Man's, the best Malaysian restaurant in Auckland.

Great location and service. Stayed in the M Suite which was incredibly spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was great. Would definitely stay here again soon.

In the month of January, myself and my friends stayed at the luxurious Sudima Hotel located in Auckland city. We had a warm welcome by the staff at the reception and each and everyone of them were happy to help in anyway possible. We were shown to our room by a kind hearted staff member on the 6th floor and WOW what an amazing view it had of the harbour bridge along with the city buildings. As for the room, it was very modern and well set up. The bathroom was perfect with ammenities provided. The beds were extra comfortable and the tv had a wide range of movies to select from. Whilst we were enjoying the view from the window, we were surprised with a welcome hamper consisting of vegan friendly snacks, refreshing coconut water along with skincare items such as face masks, shower bombs and sleep balms. This was a very thoughtful surprise and indeed we enjoyed it. We had a free breakfast at the East eats restaurant with a range of food to select from and it was amazing. All the food is vegan friendly and very delicious. The lobby has a lot of seating for anyone to enjoy. The beautiful architecture catches ones eye. Very modernised and unique in its own way. Definitely a place to stay! We would like to say a big Thank you to all the staff that helped us have a wonderful stay at the hotel. We definitely will be back. A highly recommended hotel! - Nazeena and Nisha.

Clean and sanitary, well-equipped facilities, very good service, convenient transportation, Uber for travel nearby is not expensive, breakfast is good, and rich. A great experience. The room was very quiet. Breakfast is simple but real. There is a set menu for lunch. Although the amount is smaller, there are appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. The concierge is very active in taking luggage and borrowing umbrellas is convenient. The only bad thing is that the bed in the twin room is too small, it is estimated to be only 90cm wide.

No instruction on where to park on arrival and the 2 spaces in front of the hotel had taxis in them. We had to double park while I ran across the road to query. They told us to just go through into the underground carpark. No valet service. When we came back up to reception with our bags from the carpark, the front desk clerk seemed very uninterested and almost rude. There was no conversation or smiles. We had booked a lovers package and this wasn't mentioned. We got to our room and we meant to have champagne on arrival. I went down to query and it was another, nicer, clerk. She said oh yes, it looks like you should have a bottle and said she'd have someone bring it up straight away. It was nearly half an hour later. I also had to query the breakfast the next morning, which she explained. We ordered breakfast to our rooms which was part of the package, and then when we came to check out the guy at front desk said we had more to pay and had not included the breakfast. Without saying much to us when I explained to him we had a package which included this he looked and then walked off to get our car without telling us this is what he was doing. Your hotel is cute and qwerty, but your staff seriously let's you down and I wouldn't not stay again, nor recommend to friends. Only nice part was the rooftop bar where staff was much friendlier. Otherwise no one knew what they were doing. It kind of ruined the experience for us having a night in town to reconnect away from the kids.

Holiday Inn Express is one of my favorite hotels during my 2-week stay in New Zealand. It is located in the heart of Auckland’s cbd area and close to everything (shops, restaurants, bars, harbor). It is a 6-minute walk to the Sky Tower where you can pick up the Airport Express bus for $17 nzd. The hotel entrance is on a significant incline. The reception is on the 2nd floor which you can take either an elevator or escalator up. The cafeteria and small lounge are to the right of the reception desk. Breakfast was the usual scrambled eggs, sausage, ham, toast, yogurt, cereal, fruits, muffins, and other pastries. Due to the high volume of clients the 2 coffee machines were usually low on milk to make certain coffee drinks. I love the room set up. The closet is across of the bathroom and had plenty of room for your luggage. The shower is enclosed in a glass cube with wave designs. A nightlight in the bathroom saved on electricity if you need a little light to move around the room. The bed was comfortable and the a/c worked. The reception staff was kind to let me stay an extra hour past the check-out time for the room that I had with my tour. The room that I booked after the tour was ready early and I got to settle in at 11 am before my afternoon tour. Construction is happening around the hotel with the streets being torn up and a new building under construction next to the hotel. The hotel is well insulated that I couldn’t hear any of the construction.

Very nice. Big house and good good service. Easy to anywhere.

After 20 hours of traveling we missed our connecting flight and had to find accommodation for the night. The Jet Park Hotel staff took our call and made things easy including arranging for the shuttle to come to the airport to collect us. Our room was lovely with huge, comfortable beds, a refreshing shower and yummy meals from room service we couldn't of ended a stressful day better. Would not hesitate to use again as nothing was a problem with the staff and the room was relaxing, clean and peaceful.
