Perfect Auckland home away from home
Pros:

We reserved the Courtyard Suite, which was very spacious. The living room had a couch and lounge chair along with a table and chairs. There was a small fridge with minibar items plus room for our items. There was an electric water kettle and a selection of coffee & tea. The bedroom was a good size with comfortable king bed. The bathroom was large with separate shower & tub. Sheets & towels, tissues & toilet paper were soft.

The location was excellent, a 5-minute walk from the ferry terminal.

Many great restaurants in the area.

We did not eat dinner in the hotel but we were told by other guests that it was very good. If breakfast is any indication, I expect dinner would be great. The breakfast choices were different than you’d typically find on a hotel menu and the food delicious and portions huge.

There is also a comfortable bar with good selections of wines & spirits.

Cons:

The only thing we did not like was that our room (1.18) had very little natural light as we like to wake up to the morning light. That may not be an issue for others.

Exquisite boutique hotel in the heart of the city with fabulous service. Absolutely recommend!
Pros:

Exquisite hotel in the heart of the city. Beautifully appointed with funky styling. We were thrilled to receive a room upgrade and wish we could have stayed longer. We enjoyed a complimentary pre-dinner drink and then a fantastic meal in Vivace Restaurant and Bar with service that was second to none.

Cons:

That we were only there for one night!

I wish we had more than one night at this unforgettable location.
Pros:

Everything! The included breakfast exceeded any other complimentary breakfast in a hotel I have ever had. The in-room amenities were all very nice, the room was clean and the staff that I interacted with were all polite, and professional. If I have the opportunity to stay here again I will.

Cons:

They were sold out on one menu item when I ordered room service, but we were in such a great location I was able to get a similar menu item from a shop one street over. I could actually see the shop from my room.

Sehr zu empfehlen.
Pros:

Sehr schönes , geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Haus. Die Betten sehr bequem und es war ruhig . Super gelegen ; kurze Wege zu Cafes und Geschäften.
Hopp on Hopp off Haltestelle in 4 Minuten zu Fuss erreichbar sowie der Hafen auch .

Cons:

Die Toilette war in unserem Zimmer sehr klein . Die Türen zum Badezimmer machten einen ziemlichen „krach“ beim Öffnen. ( Nachts unangenehm )
Das Frühstück war gut; mit einem Kaffee und einer Speise eher marginal bei Buchung mit Frühstück….

Good central location in an original building
Pros:

Excellent location in the heart of the city. Nice room, with internal views over the dining area, which was quite atmospheric. There is a bar and a restaurant, and the breakfast we had there was fabulous.
