Nice centrally located hotel, easily walkable into most of the city and to the cruise ship terminals. Breakfast was good with plenty of selection and the staff were all efficient and friendly.
There is a nice terrace overlooking the water for you to eat and drink.

If you intend cruising to New Zealand and Auckland is your starting point or port of disembarkation then this hotel is a must.The cruise ships dock virtually within a few minutes walk from the hotel.The rooms are functional and spotlessly clean and the staff very proffessional

We had a great time during our 6 day stay. We arrived a couple of hours early but reception staff were efficient and still got us into our room after a short wait.
Our room 732 was at the side of hotel. It had a lovely balcony which had partial views of the harbour. It did face apartments, which wasn’t a problem for us as we were sightseeing most of the time, but I can understand it could be disappointing. The advantage for us was that the position was quieter than bay view rooms as there were a number of cruise ships coming and going during our stay. Our room was clean and the bed really comfortable.
Continental breakfast was included in our stay. Full cooked breakfast had an additional cost for us, but continental had great choice and good quality we just stayed with that. Just a special recognition for Victor and Hoyoung. Victor was so welcoming and explained the breakfast arrangements clearly. Hoyoung provided good table service.
Our evening meal service in the Fish restaurant was slow, but when it arrived the food was good. I had fish and chips. The batter was nice and crispy. The positive was that without asking they apologised for the service and reduced our bill accordingly. The location is ideal for the ferries and downtown Auckland.
During our stay Angky on reception was very helpful. We had a lovely stay and felt nothing was too much trouble.
Kia Ora Sarah,

This is what I call a “well managed “ hotel. By that I mean the manager trains his staff to not do anything over and above the reservation. We were coming off a 20 hour flight. We got to the hotel about 10:30 am. I had been communicating with the hotel by text message about this and asked them to have a room ready for us and possibly an upgrade. Always the same response. “ although not guaranteed we will do our best to accommodate you “ We get to check in and were told that because they were full last night no rooms are available. You’re telling me no rooms were cleaned before 10:30? Not everyone gets a late check out. AND. No upgrades. You’re telling me that EVERY upgraded room booked for more money than a standard room? NOT BLOODY LIKELY. So we go eat lunch and then sit until 1:30 and I text again. “How much longer? You’re telling me no rooms have been cleaned since 10:30? Within 10 minutes I get a response that OUR ROOM IS READY. Magical. AND we noticed there were many people that got their rooms before us. I’m sure we’ll never come back to Auckland but if we do we will not stay here. WELL DONE, MANAGER.

Am a diamond lifetime hilton traveler. Requested an upgrade if available but instead got the worde room in the hotel. One side is ocean view the other side looks into the rooms of condos next door and hears the noises from pool people. That is what my upgrade was. After the first night requested a move and received it. There was no recoginitjon of being a loyal hilton traveler. My sister ordered cheese fruit and champagne as a surprise fir my birthday. Never received it and arrived at 11 am. After dinner at 9 pm it was in the room. All.was sliced and the food was wasted. After she paid for it when i checked out they also tried to charge me.. disappointing. If i go back i will stay at the marriott close by. I have a low status but rheu treat loyal customers better than hilton. Made my trip to Aukland disappointing. Never get 2 beds. Narrow and short. Miserable to sleep in..
