Auckland Auckland Central Hotels

I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Auckland City Centre for one night during my solo travels, and I couldn’t have been happier with my choice. The location is absolutely fantastic—right in the heart of Auckland, making it incredibly convenient to explore the city. Many attractions, restaurants, and shops are just a short walk away, which saved me a lot of time and effort. What stood out most, however, was the excellent staff. They were not only friendly and professional but went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable. Whether it was check-in, providing local recommendations, or assisting with my queries, they were always helpful and approachable. The room itself was clean, modern, and well-equipped, offering everything I needed for a comfortable night’s stay. The bed was cozy, and the overall atmosphere made it easy to relax after a day of exploring. For solo travelers like myself, I highly recommend this hotel for its prime location, attentive staff, and excellent value for money. I’ll definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Auckland!

Everything about the stay was perfect — except for the very poor Wi-Fi. There’s no kitchen facility, which may be inconvenient for long-term stays, but considering the price and the services provided, it’s still an economical choice for this location. The hotel’s location is excellent — just steps away from a 24/7 convenience store. However, I strongly advise against shopping there: prices are extremely high. For example, a bottle of water that costs $4.50 NZD at the shop is available for just $0.99 at the local market. The fruit selection there is also disappointing in both quality and value. I wouldn’t recommend relying on that particular store — even though it’s close, there are better and much cheaper options on the opposite side of the street. As for the hotel itself — you get exactly what you pay for, and I’d happily recommend it to others. In fact, it’s the most budget-friendly accommodation option in this area.

The room was great! 👍 It had a fridge, washing machine, kitchen with pots, bowls 🥣 chopsticks 🥢 and plates 🥏 – very well-equipped and convenient, perfect for families. Since I only stayed one night, it was a bit rushed. Apart from the 10 AM check-out being too early, I couldn't find any other faults. It seems to be run by Indians, but the service was excellent! 👍 They also didn't require the NZD 250 deposit. On the day of check-out, luggage storage was free. I stored my bags from 10 AM until 5 PM when I picked them up. Overall, it was really good! 👍 I'd definitely stay here again if I get the chance. The description was accurate, booking through Ctrip was very convenient, and the location is near the Sky Tower.

I had a great one-night stay at Lylo. Comfortable and affordable private room with private bathroom, my room had a window. Check in and check out went smooth, there's a nice restaurant/bar in the hostel, and the location is good to walk around the downtown, quite close to the bus stop to the airport as well.

The room was fairly clean, although a bit dusty (quick fix by opening the window to let the air circulate). The location is fantastic, being near Karangahape Road, meaning you can get to either downtown or Ponsonby on foot within 20 minutes. Not sure what amenities they have as I did not look around but the building looked fairly new and trendy.

The location is very good, just cross the street (5 mins walk) reach bus terminal for airport. The size of the room is big. But the counter service is not 24/7, found inconvenience if check-in after the service hour. It was said that the code was sent to me, but I could not receive through SMS when overseas, and the hotel had not sent me any email. Very frustrated when I reached the hotel after a long journey. In addition, I could not find switch for the fan in the bathroom.

The airport is very convenient to the hotel and it is convenient to eat around. The room is also very good, the kitchen is very well equipped. Although it is a business trip this time, it is a good choice to bring family members next time.

We were really fortunate to have gotten a great deal for 2 nights on Trip.com.  On arrival there was more than what was expected once we settled in. The App forgot to mention Dishwasher, Washing Machine and Dryer so prior we were still happy for the price we paid for the accom alone but were smitten and ecstatic to see these included. The Apartment I believe had everything you could possibly need and had been serviced to top notch cleanliness we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights on stay. We would hope in the future we could book this amazing accom if we’re in similar situation

The location is very good, quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle, with a large supermarket nearby within walking distance.

The hotel is just everything you need in Auckland. We booked a one-bedroom suite, with a double bed and a sofa bed that can fit us 3 well. There are enough amenities for travellers abroad from washing/dryer machine, microwave, oven, fridge, stove, kitchenware, dining table. Housekeeping is daily so this helps clear the rubbish in the room much. Staff is helpful and you get to use anytime fitness for free (we didn't use it though). Walking distance to 24/7 shop, Woolworths, Sky Tower, Les Mills Auckland City, Britomart, University of Auckland. The only downsides for us are unstable hot shower and air con is a bit stingy. But during our stay it's cold enough that we don't need Aircon. We'll definitely come back here if we travel to Auckland.
