Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Excellent efficient communication with Steven at reception who went the extra mile to make our one night stay very comfortable. Avani's location allows for easy walking access to the city attractions, dining and harbour. Set within a beautiful building, you can park in front to check in and a personal parking space in the car park costs 40 Nzd- comparable to other hotels. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again.

Wonderful room with separate bedroom. Full kitchen with in suite laundry. Separate bedroom from the living area was very much appreciated. Lovely indoor pool and spa area. Easy walk to the waterfront and shopping areas with restaurants. Close to the sky tower and intercity bus terminal for easy airport transfers.

Top apartments in a great location. The entrance sets the scene with the heritage building at front retained and the reception and lobby very smart. The rooms are large and well equipped. Worth the extra charge for rooms with a park view - amazing lookout over the park across the road with glimpses of the gorgeous Auckland harbour. Kitchenette well set up with dishwasher, washing machine and dryer all provided in the apartment. Lots of wardrobe space for longer stays. Clever touches such as USB chargers in bedside lights. Opening windows which is unusual these days and allows fresh air into the apartment. Very well located on the edge of CBD and easy walk to everything

We were looking for a property that had a separate room to sleep and laundry/kitchen because we were arriving after a long international flight. This property is great for that purpose. It's relatively compact (we had a 1-bed suite) but had a well-appointed kitchen and bathroom, as well as a washer/dryer (+ detergents). It was a great place to land for a night or two. The pool area is quite nice (including hot tub). There is no restaurant but grocery shops aren't too far away. The staff was perfectly nice as well. Views were good and I felt like it was fairly good value for money, especially if you are going to be in your room for any amount of time. The immediately surrounding area has a park and some shops.

This was such a great hotel to stay at it’s in an amazing location for a great price, right across the road from the beautiful Albert park and just a 15 minute walk to the board walk by the ocean. It’s also super close to all the shops and the hotel also offers parking just below them for super cheap and if there are no parks don’t worry there is a large carpark not even a minute away and that’s super cheap too!!! We will definitely be coming back at some point we have never felt so accommodated in Auckland city before the staff are absolutely incredible and they are easy to have a chat with!!

I stayed for two nights recently with my adult daughter. We had a two room apartment with no housekeeping, and loved how clean and comfortable it was. The bathroom had a full size bath, large towels, and the kitchen had everything we needed including coffee machine, microwave, along with a washer & dryer too. It was quiet and relaxing, the staff were friendly and efficient. The hotel is close to the university, and the city is a short walk away. We caught buses everywhere, and bus stops are very close too.

Lots of restaurants and tourists attractions within walking distance. Had a room on the wharf side which was great as we could see boats coming in and out, could see some of the islands, had a slider door so could open up and get some great air in the room. Even though the room is in CBD with lots of noise outside, as soon as the doors are shut, the room was very quiet. Only complaint would be we only got coffee pods the first day, any additional pods had to be purchased.

The attitude of the hotel staff is very good and the information provided is also professional. The hotel is divided into a hall, a master room and a guest room. It has a kitchen and a washer and dryer, which is very suitable for family living. The room was also clean. It only takes 6-7 minutes to walk to the Sky Tower, which is very convenient.

We cancelled the accommodation we already had booked for our Auckland stay, as the most recent reviews were discouraging. We paid more for the Avani, but were very happy with the change. The property is geared up as residences, so no bar or restaurant, but very close to cafes, bars etc., with a small supermarket over the road. There is 24 reception, a pool with deck area. Our room was a one bedroom suite with harbour view, with opening door / window, we opted for no house keeping, saving quite a sum of money. Extra towels could be picked up at reception, sheets available if needed, also toiletries, tea bags etc. available if requested. The room was very a good size, with separate sitting area, kitchen and washer / dryer. The bed was large and comfortable. The room was clean, and fairly modern. For a five night stay it was ideal.

We stayed here for two weeks. The apartment has everything you may need for a medium length stay, cooking facilities, washing machine and dryer. Bathroom has a bath and a shower. The bed we had (a large double) was really comfortable. Ample wardrobe space, iron and ironing board. They do a weekly clean, which is sufficient if you don’t want the hassle of daily housekeeping. Car parking is extra at $40 per night but you are allocated a secure spot, it is covered and easy to get to the hotel lift from the car park. Gym and pool are good sizes for a hotel. Wi-Fi is good. The staff at reception are lovely, welcoming and friendly, always say hello when you pass. The only negative, is that on Friday and Saturday nights, the local bars play music until about 3 a.m. We used ear plugs. Other nights of the week it was really quiet. We had a harbour view room, with great views over the Gulf and Rangitoto. Great central position, easy to get to everywhere in the CBD and to public transport links such as Britomart and the Ferry Building. Lots of supermarkets nearby to stock up on food and supplies. We would stay again, and recommend.

Yes, we can definitely store your luggage until the room is ready. We will try our best to have the room ready prior to 2pm but unfortunately cannot guarantee it.

Was booked for two but only I stayed there so I would think you could have up to two people in the room. There is not a lot of checking as you are issued a card for your room which is also necessary for the lift so that is the main controlling factor tho there is always someone available at the desk to help.

You're really in the center of things to do in Auckland when you stay here. 10 minute walk to the Sky Tower, which has the Casino attached to it. I recommend going to the Scarecrow for breakfast, it's delightful and just tow blocks from the Avani. You have about a 20 minute walk at most to the Viaduct and waterfront for the Maritime Museum, ferry services and several dining choices. Along the way you are walking through the CBD which has all types of dining, shopping and markets to take advantage of. Get a room on the higher floors with a Harbour view as it is well worth it.
There are more places to choose from in the Auckland Central area.
