We were initially given a room on the third floor which had a step- in shower over a high spa bath - definately not suitable for we two friends who had mobility issues. After we mentioned this to the reception staff they organised for us to be moved the next day to a 2nd floor room which had a walk in shower and was much more up to date than the original room we had been given. The views from the room were exceptional and apart from a bit of noise from adjacent rooms with doors banging we were much happier. The hotel is very well located in a lovely neighbourhood within walking distance of some excellent cafes and restaurants.
Unfortunately our experience with the breakfast at the hotel restaurant was bad and ugly! We opted for a menu meal and I can honestly say it was the worst experience I have ever had anywhere and I've travelled a lot! I had an omelette which was plonked on the plate and when I asked if I could have toast the waitress said it would be an extra $3.50!!! We could not believe this but decided the wholemeal toast may help with the taste of the omelette but unfortunately it was a thin piece of toast that had hardly been cooked at all. Such a disappointment. The other mornings we went to the Domain Ayr cafe which was a walk away and their breakfasts were so lovely, tasty and made with love.

Room tip: Don't have breakfast at their cafe, especially the breakfast. There are much better quality cafes within walking distance.

Zero flexibility from this hotel who refused to let us postpone our visit so we could be at the bedside of a close family member who was dying. Most hotels would show some compassion, but not this one. So think about this before you make your booking.

Dear Lynda,

First, we would like to extend our deepest sympathies to you and your family during this difficult time. We understand how challenging it must have been, and we are truly sorry for the added stress caused by our inability to modify your booking.

You booked our Advance Purchase rate, which offers a discount for early bookings in exchange for being non-refundable and non-changeable. This policy allows us to offer competitive rates, but we understand it can be challenging in unforeseen circumstances like yours.

While we strive to provide flexibility, the terms of this rate are clear at the time of booking. For future reference, we also offer more flexible options, such as our Best Available Rate, which can be cancelled up to 24 hours before check-in.

Again, we are sorry for the situation you faced and appreciate your understanding. If you have any further concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly.

For the last 3 years I stay here every month for a week and I wouldn't stay anywhere else. The staff are very friendly and call you by name. The restaurant is equally friendly and serves great food.
It isn't a 5-star hotel, but its staff are genuinely pleasant, and variations to the menu are no problem.

Room tip: It's in Parnell, which is on the edge of the CBD

The highlights of this trip were the excellent standard of housekeeping and the very friendly restaurant staff. The good food - in particular a delicious Chicken and coconut soup - and the great welcome from staff was top-notch.
Unforgettable, the reception staff just did not engage throughout the three days of our stay…
I thought that it was customary in Hospitality to provide a welcome on entry and to enquire of departing guests “How was your stay?’ This was not what happened here. I would have been happy to tell them that the bed on Room 309 was as bad as any that I have slept in and that the flimsy dividing wall to the next-door room was completely inadequate with respect to sound insulation 😏

Our team of 7 members stayed The Parnell and walked to downtown to enjoy AKL tower and beach. Also cooked beef and rice with equipped tool.
The Parnell is located near the downtown but so quiet. At terrace we looked fantastic night scenery of town and tower
