I stayed for two nights while delivering an event nearby and chose this hotel for its convenient location near the rail station—just outside the city but easy to access. The room was comfortable, the bed very nice, and the overall space well-kept. The property is a combined Novotel and ibis, offering a range of facilities. I also appreciated the separate café area apart from the main restaurant—an excellent spot to relax or work between commitments. Breakfast offered a good variety, and dinners were tasty, though a little on the pricey and smaller side. On Saturday night, the hotel offered a $69 NZD buffet, though I opted for the à la carte menu. The staff were genuinely lovely, and their warmth really made the stay. Overall, a comfortable and friendly stay in a convenient location—with a bit more focus on member recognition, it could be excellent.

Excellent service from the staff here. On arrival the staff were so friendly, welcoming and chatty. A lady gave our son a cute stuffed toy which was amazing. Buffet breakfast was fantastic. Bar staff were also a highlight as we spent a bit of time eating and drinking here and they were more than happy for our kids to be down there too. Rooms were all that we needed. highly recommend

I was in town for a 5 night stay which included catching up with family, attending a work function, dining out, and attending a national dance competition. The location of the hotel, being in the centre of Auckland and near to the Southern Motorway, made it very easy to access everything I needed to. Over the 5 nights, I had 4 breakfasts in the restaurant, 1 room service dinner, 1 dinner in the main restaurant, 1 dessert in the bar and 1 dinner in the bar. All delicious. The room was comfortable and I really enjoyed having a couch to spread out on. Computer access was easy.

In thursday out Monday for a conference, check in and out - easy in house room cleaning and tidy - excellent buffet food - not great - too much sugary foods and carbs which make everyone want to fall asleep in the next session! chicken always dry, not enough veges, fruit platters (ie cut up) will always work better than a fruit bowl, not many will crunch into a whole apple, though all the bananas went (easy to eat) Dinner for the gala was great. Overall a good experience.
