Stayed here mid October 2023.

After a long flight from the UK into Auckland, we picked our hire car up and chose the Doubletree in Karaka for one night to unwind before embarking on a 3 week tour of NZ.

We could not have chosen better. Located south of Auckland city and right on the SH1, it's the perfect location.

The hotel is finished to a very high standard, our room was fantastic, the staff are friendly, the restaurant was great and checking in and out could not have been easier.

Food was superb as well.

Many thanks and if we ever make the journey to your incredible country again, we would stay here in an instant.

We had landed at Auckland airport, picked up our car and needed a hotel just out of town. This was a great selection for us, friendly greeting, not too busy and able to accommodate our two young grandsons who wanted to use the pool. Nothing was too much trouble, we later ordered room service as we’d had a long day, the selection was great. Breakfast the next morning’s was also impressive so we’d definitely stay there again when making this journey.

A nice new building with smiling staff is the best way to describe this hotel. It’s an upmarket motor side motel.
The rooms are nice and spacious but unfortunately cheap beds and bedding make for a poor nights sleep.
Noisy corridors and lack of complimentary bottled water is a major downside of this hotel, having to pay $10-$12 for water I think is a characteristic of a cheap motel and not what to expect from a Hilton.
