Columbia Apartments

Clean and inexpensive. Everything I needed except WiFi. Small, no TV but I didn't mind.

For last minute accomodation, it was ok. The apartments are very small, the beds aren't very comfortable and the sheets were very rough. The bathroom was very small. Showers were dirty and mouldy. overall a very average stay.

Very terrible experience. It is just like going into a dark prison, with rotten smell. The price was really cheap, however never imagined that these places exist in auckland.

Good

Overall was good for the price.
Staff had good communication. Our room was in a shared apartment with 2 other rooms, shared bathroom and kitchen.
Nice and quiet.
Only negative was no on site parking we had to park up the next street in a public carpark, which we had to pay more than our room.

For every traveler who's on a budget, this property is affordable and is within the Auckland CBD.

The property was near the nightlife and public transport. Also, lots of dining options nearby. Unfortunately the property wasn't great. The room hadnt been vacuumed properly and the furniture was caked in dust. Also, the property failed to mention the elevator had been broken for a month and i needed to walk with my luggage up 17 floors. I recommend considering other options if available.

Exactly what I booked, 2 bedrooms to sleep in and simple bathroom.

Needs refurbishing and doesn’t look like what is in the photo’s. It smells like curry in the hallways. My knife broke on me (utensil) and no even milk provided. The employees are nice though.

nice staff, flexible, helpful. excellent location near grocery shops and public transport

Helpful friendly staff. Good location near groceries cheap food esp nearby kebab ,burger and pizza shop. Self contained 3 room Units have kettle fridge microwave and one can cook.

Have stayed here many times including before 2020 Covid. Very good convenient location near public transport and shops. Nice, friendly staff especially manager Steven Zhang. Very Good pricing, nice rooms,good facilities with kettle, microwave, fridge, and cooking utensils within the 3 room unit. Some rooms have fans. Please put fans in all rooms as it is getting hotter towards summer. Only one issue is pity that there is only 1 lift for a 20 floor building. it can take some time to go to your room or come down to reception as it can get very busy. Apart from that this is a very nice place to stay and would definitely stay here again in the future

The saying you get what you pay for can only be stretched so far.
The price was ok, the location was great, but the state of the property was mind blowing.
I'm not sure how H&S hasn't shut this place down.
bones left on multiple levels of the staircase, fire hose fittings used as ash trays and vomit on the staircase wall that had dripped down 3-4 levels.
There is a smell of cigarettes throughout the building but is stronger at different levels.
The front desk attendant was polite enough, but did not really care about the issues I pointed out that could be easily fixed.
The room was fine for a night or 2 but feel that a minimal effort on cleaning could make a difference.

Nice place . However only 1 lift for a 20 storey building and in peak hours takes long time for lift to reach your floor as mine was 19th floor. Ideally another lift is needed.

Thanks to the hosting, good experience.

was just okay, good for price is what you pay for

Bring a wedge with you to secure your bedroom door if you cannot afford anything better. Situated at the bottom of a very steep hill well away from amenities. Staff do not have a good grasp of English. I would avoid this and use backpackers or ordinary hotel such as the Albion in Hobson street instead.

Pubes on the toliet

Carpark is tough. Good pricing, rooms are clean but can be made over.

Booked in my family for two nights, we ended up staying one night. It was AWFUL! The place was so dirty i just couldn’t believe it. The room we stayed in had 3 separate bedrooms, 1 toilet and shower. All disgusting! Nothing was clean absolutely nothing! I ended up putting their towels down on floor for us to walk as it was that dirty! I wiped fridge, sinks and tables before we even did anything. My poor children was so happy to stay in apartment for the weekend but i could not leave them one more night in that disgusting awful place. Elevators dirty and old and only one. Dodgy people walking in and out all the time. Not a place for children at all! The stairs was so disgusting and what the hell is that smell all over that place! You have been warned. Do not stay here. Rough and run down. Spend your money somewhere else. Im sorry to my children:(
