Accommodation in Auckland City

"one to avoid" would have to be the understatement of the
year, based on those reviews:-)

One minor aside - if you are used to US or Australian
hotels/motels, don't presume that air-conditioning is
standard in New Zealand accommodation. We stayed in five
different ones last year ranging from 2.5* to 4* - only two
had aircon.

If you're going in mid-summer, it's worth checking with them
before booking. If not, don't worry about it.


It's not a problem really as I'm going in about 2 weeks (disorganised, I
know). Although, assuming I stay a while it might be more of an issue
later, but hopefully I won't still be in hotels by then.

Thanks,

The Waldorff Bankside is very nice, with studio or 1BR choices at
under NZ$100, I believe. And, I'm a little prejudiced- the two lovely
girls that manage it were our bridesmaids and most wonderful! At least
check it out and see if it would work for you.
Cheers,
Greg and Dane


This looks very nice and is actually cheaper than Aspen House, but still
a bit pricey for me. I'm looking at City Lodge and the Columbard tower.
The latter is a bit frustrating because they don't give you the actual
rate you'll pay upfront.

Cheers,

Well try this one then.

It used to be good value, but it's a long time since I last stayed there.
Rates still seem reasonable - but not sure about anything else . I still
think Columbard might be hard to beat. Surely they can give you a price?
