Pros:

Appartement spacieux

Cons:

Manque de quelques équipements comme par exemple une poêle.
L’emplacement est mauvais pour une femme voyageant seule car des personnes étranges se baladent sur la rue en bas de l’hôtel.

Pros:

Great location to central Auckland

Cons:

Ground floor gets a lot of road noise. I asked for some flowers and bubbles in the room, a request I have done in many hotels before, despite an email acknowledging the request, they said if possible, none was there, a little disappointing as it was for our anniversary, if they told couldn't do I would have organised another way.

Some the bedroom lights didn't work, the hand basin took ages to drain, had to ask twice for a TV remote and iron.
Apartment feels tired. No plug for the bathroom sink making it hard to have a shave. No plug in kitchen sink to wash up.

Close to town, friendly staff, spacious. Only two block walk to sky city and airport bus stop. Nice hot shower. Free wifi.

Cons:

The TV wasn't working and there were a couple of lights not working. Could have done with more blankets as it was cold.

Location ok. Busy main road. Average overall & we've had better experience there before
Pros:

The bed was 2 singles pushed together with no underlay so you could feel the gap in between. The room really smelt of cigarette smoke is was very horrible.
