Steps to the Sights
Positioned at the quieter end of commercial artery Queen Street, this hotel’s best feature is its location near Aotea Square, which hosts live events throughout the year. From here, sightseers can walk to most attractions but appreciate the SkyBus stop right outside the hotel.
positive:
Room to Breathe
Many travellers find rooms surprisingly large and light. They like the classic furnishings and comfy beds, as well as the open views from the tall windows in some units. Most find accommodation spotlessly clean. Self-caterers appreciate the well-equipped kitchenette for cooking up a feast.

Expensive Extras
Some travellers balk at the price of this hotel’s breakfast, claiming the selection of edibles on offer is not great value. A few others feel the valet-only parking is also on the costly side, though those who use the facility describe it as secure and well-attended.
negative:
Wi-Fi Wobbles
Though many guests find this hotel’s free basic internet adequate enough for their needs, some claim it is painfully slow. Several travellers have been inconvenienced by the connection constantly dropping out. Reviews suggest it is possible to upgrade to a premium service for a price.
negative:
Earplugs advised
Some travellers find this city-centre hotel noisy due to thin walls between rooms. Several mention disturbances from passing traffic and nearby building work. A few have been disturbed by guests chatting late at night in the outdoor smoking area and by revellers at the local bar.
