Pros:

The hotel was very pretty, and the bed was very comfortable

Cons:

The room was very small, with very little space for luggage and movement. Noise insulation could be better as I was woken up in the night by the guests talking next door

History, elegance and affordability!
Pros:

Loved the character and history of the hotel, and the eye for detail in design. Great location and free parking was a real bonus!
Will be staying here again!

Cons:

Noise from the hallway travelled through to our room, also a full length mirror would’ve been helpful.

Pros:

We highly recommend this Hotel and we will definitely stay here again.

We loved the old, convent building, which has been renovated to perfection.Amazing paintings, ornaments, statues and wall art and display cases with antique curiosities could be seen throughout the building.
There was a lovely, helpful man on reception.
Ava Restaurant is in the building.
A pizza shop 2 mins walk away by the bus stop.
There is good secure parking right behind the building, which we were able to reserve when we booked.

A quiet location 11 mins from the CBD.Our Uber was $11 into the Civic Center.

The room spacious.We chose one upstairs with a balcony view looking West .
It had a very comfortable, warm King sized bed.No aircon but it had a wall heater and to room was very warm.
A very large tiled shower,toilet and handbasin had beautiful copper fittings.The water pressure was very good.
Comfort 10/10
Cleanliness 10/10

Cons:

We liked everything.

Great location and enjoyable hotel for a staycation
Cons:

It was very different from anywhere we have stayed before. Loved the style and the decor. Lots of fantastic artwork and history in the building. We stayed in the mother superior room which was very spacious. There were a couple of things they could do lift it from shabby to chic. There was a chair with rips in the arms, chipped crockery and the lose cables under the TV. There was only one key which was inconvenient for four people. The staff were really warm and friendly. The location was spot on and only a few minutes away from the CBD. Would recommend and stay again.

Good in general, some things needs to be thought of
Pros:

We always stay here when in Auckland and it’s always so good!

Cons:

Couple things that needs to be fixed is shower head, the pressure is ridiculous, basically there is none - every time or every room that we stay in. The other thing that needs to be thought of is heating, especially in winter months, the wall heater doesn’t do anything! We were freezing both nights and my partner got a cold after our stay. For the price that we paid for two nights - it’s a bit disappointing.
