Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by the early check-in option offered despite arriving before the official time. The room, although well-equipped with up-to-date amenities, unfortunately had a strong smell of cigarette smoke. The hotel is convenient to harbor activities and offers various dining options nearby, but there is room for improvement in living up to a luxury standard.
My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The location was perfect, right next to the harbor with easy access to restaurants and shops. The dining experience, although delicious, had some minor issues. Overall, a great value for the money.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were big, spacious, and had beautiful furnishings with windows around two sides, making them really nice, spacious, and comfy. The service was exceptional from the valet to the staff at Lava Dining, who were polite and helpful, ensuring a warm welcome and fantastic experience. The location was perfect for exploring the city and nearby restaurants, though a bit out on a limb. The dining was delicious overall, despite some chaos during peak times. The facilities were top-notch, enhancing my stay with convenience and comfort.
The hotel staff was very accommodating, the rooms were comfortable and spacious, but the service could be improved. The location was excellent with plenty of dining options nearby, and the dining experience was generally good. However, the facilities were not outstanding.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with beautiful furnishings and a balcony that runs the length of the room, providing a top view over the harbor. The rooms are comfortable and very luxurious, although there was a slight issue with mold/mildew. The service was exceptional with polite and helpful staff, including a very inviting and friendly driver who took us to the airport. The location was perfect for us, allowing easy exploration of the area and shopping opportunities. The dining options were pretty good, offering a fantastic variety of food. The hotel facilities were great, making our stay enjoyable.
The hotel offers fantastic rooms with very comfortable beds, but there was a slight delay in room servicing. The service was impeccable, especially the valet team and super nice breakfast staff. The location is excellent for harbor activities and dining options, although facing a building could be a downside. The dining experience was delightful in the cafe overlooking the harbor. Overall, a great stay with a few minor hiccups.
The hotel offers beautifully decorated rooms with quality materials and a very comfortable bed, overlooking a construction site and a bus station. The service is top-notch with welcoming staff at all levels, especially at Lava Dining. The location is ideal for exploring the Auckland waterfront, although improvements are needed to meet 5-star standards in food and accommodation.
