Motels in Auckland Region, New Zealand

Totally disappointed in our two night stay here. This premise also goes under the name 'Auckland Airport Kiwi Hotel' and Auckland Airport Kiwi Backpackers', the Backpackers has now been turned into what is called 'Premier studio apartments'.'. When we arrived the lady at reception stated that she had only debited our card for the first night, we were to pay for our second night when checking out. Our 'Premier Studio Apartment' was clearly an ex backpacker room, our lawn view was 2 mtrs of unmown grass which looked straight into the rooms across from us. The room was clean enough but extremely under equipped. We had booked for 3 people, we had 2 towels, 2 facecloths, no hand towel, no tea towel or dish cloth. After the 3rd ask for these items we finally received two extra facecloths to be used as a tea towel and dishcloth, eww! The kitchen had 1 fork, 1 teaspoon, 3 knives and large spoons, 1 glass, no wine glasses. Odd cups and plates of various sizes. There was a microwave and hotplates but no other utensils at all besides the bits and pieces mentioned. No Ice tray. No coathangers. The bathroom light flickered constantly, there was rubbish under the beds, and on further inspection, the fire alarm did not contain a battery. (illegal) On checking out was told that our account had been settled. Inspection of bank account showed that our 2nd night had been deducted two hours after we had checked in and an extra $4.50 had been taken. Asked on their chat window (which is how we booked our stay due to no one answering the phone, ever) and was emailed back, them stating that this extra cost was due to paying by Visa. No mention of this throughout our booking or on their website. Would not stay here again.

I needed a hotel room with 2 rooms in it for 6 people. Somehow the booking booked in 2 hotel rooms with 2 rooms in each and therefore could sleep 12 people. I think it is a description thing - communication went wrong I did ask but the receptionist could not give me a refund .. we end up using both hotel rooms any way. This is not a complaint. This is only to raise your awareness to the description of 2 rooms - means 2 rooms in the one hotel accomondation vs 2 hotel accomondation The location is amazingly close to the airport. If you could start replacing the mattress it would make a difference. Nothing minor cosmetic changes will make the place come up a million dollars. Hope this helps Regards Gorgeous Le

We were a group of 9 people (2 adults and 7 youth) and we had booked a 6 bedroom and a 4 bedroom apartment. Upon arriving at the Best Western we were advised that we had been given a free room upgrade from a 4 bedroom to a 7 bedroom suite. It was fantastic with enough room for everyone to join in together in one of the apartments for meals etc. In both apartments we had a main bedroom downstairs with kitchen, bathroom etc and then upstairs were the additional beds with own bathroom. Kitchens were big enough for us to cook and make lunches for our day trips. Everything was clean and tidy. The only unfortunate thing was that the 6 bedroom apartment had a lingering smell of fish emanating from the fridge but it was clean and we managed to ignore it.

We arrived in Auckland on the first day and stayed here. Everything felt very good, but because I lived in a lot of places for ten days, so I commented objectively, I felt that the equipment was a bit simpler, and then there were many parts of the tableware in the room. It was not cleaned, so we cleaned it all before! In addition, the other is still good, the boss boss is Chinese, so the communication is quite convenient! It’s not bad.

We chose Kolmar Inn to spend a night at the airport after almost two days traveling, and it was all a good thing. It has everything you need when you need a good rest, a new bathroom where everything works perfectly, as well as being decorated with good taste and a new and comfortable bed. It has a good TV, also new with the possibility of connecting your devices, as well as refrigerator, microwave, water heating... and beautiful furniture.

Great stay at Anzac Court. Very friendly staff. Location superb, 5 mins walk to North Shore city mall. 5 minutes in other direction to supermarket. Beds extremely comfortable, slept very well. Motel a little old and not the smartest but we were very happy with our stay. Clean, tidy room and lots of treats left inc toothbrushes, shaving gear, shampoo etc etc. Very friendly staff. Would definitely visit again.

We stayed with Regal Residency last weekend (5th to 8th July 2024) and we were very disappointed with the overall experience. On arrival we had to phone someone to come to reception and wait for them to come and give us our keys and that was the last time we saw a member of staff! Our rooms were cold and we could not find out how to work the heaters, as luck would have it my husband discovered the switch by accident the following day but we had a very cold night. The one pillow each was wafer thin and the duvet was even thinner. The television would not work, no plug for the kitchen sink, the coffee and tea were not topped up and the bins were not emptied for the whole of our stay. The steps leading up to our rooms were dangerously steep, especially when wet. I was extremely disappointed with our experience and it was not worth the two hundred dollars plus per night we stayed.

This motel seems to be run by Chinese. When I arrived to check in I was left waiting in the reception area for maybe 15 minutes. The insincere apology was worthless. Upon check in to my room I could hear the woman in the adjoining room screaming into her cellphone. I tolerated this for some time but after several phone calls by my new neighbour, I returned to reception to express my concern. The same Chinese woman told me residents “have their rights” so I enquired if the “resident” was a social housing customer. I was assured this was not the case, but having observed the next door neighbour it is very evident she is a social housing tenant. She is extremely noisy, having no regard for anyone but herself. Be aware this badly managed motel appears to have a mix of social housing clients and the more traditional, respectable type of customer. You can likely do much better than staying at Tudor Court.

The location is very good. There is a big supermarket within a few minutes walk! You can buy some ingredients and make a simple dinner. The beach in Takapuna is really chill. The weather is good. You can sit on the lawn and relax all day. The hotel is only about ten minutes' walk to the commercial street and the beach.

We highly recommend Fernz in Birkenhead. The apartment was spacious, beautifully decorated, and immaculately clean. The staff were lovely and welcoming and had graciously allowed us to check in early as we had traveled all night from the US. We appreciated the free parking, the blackout shades so that we could nap upon arrival, the well appointed kitchen, and the balcony with gorgeous views of the harbor. The apartment was just down the street from the downtown area with lots of shops and restaurants. We walked 30 mins to the ferry (an easy 5 min drive but we enjoyed the walk) that took us on a beautiful, inexpensive ($8) and easy ride to the Auckland harbor area. We thought the price for the apartment was very reasonable for the fabulous location and excellent amenities.

Nice big rooms & wonderfully local location. Very friendly & helpful staff. I'll be booking here again next time I'm in Waiheke. For the rate of the room I wasn't expecting such a big kitchen area & main living quarters. We booked as a group & all of the rooms I saw were nice & big
