Hotel Fitzroy Curated by Fable
4.6/561 Reviews
It is not recommended to stay. Although it is a five-star hotel, the design is very average. The hotel is really not big. I thought the internal facilities would be more sophisticated, but there are no sanitary facilities. They are like four-star hotels. The most disgusting thing is when I checked in, I met an Indian. When I arrived, no one was there. I went upstairs to look for it and saw someone chatting in the small room (he was in it). He didn't even ask a word. I thought they were all residents. It took half an hour for him to come down. I asked him if he was upstairs. He said yes. I said I didn’t see it when I went up. He lied and said he didn’t see it. I was very angry and said you just saw it. He changed his story and said he didn’t know I was a guest. I said I wanted to complain. He actually said he was the manager or the owner of this hotel. I'm speechless The next day I saw other employees and asked, and they confirmed that he was completely lying. When I picked up my luggage, they gave me a small gift with a small card inside, and asked me to complain to the manager. I wrote a complaint letter estimated to be a thousand words long. But they won't fire that sb-named Sam because he has NZ status and is considered local. They can only wait for him to resign on his own. simply outrageous The breakfast in the hotel is good. It is delivered to the room. If you want to take a picture of the breakfast, you can try it. But I didn’t experience the service at all.
The Great Ponsonby Arthotel
4.3/554 Reviews
The hotel is the old town in the center of Auckland, and the surrounding restaurants, bars and shopping are very convenient. The old house has a taste of home. The breakfast has a special chef made for each guest on-site, which is delicious. The service staff was very friendly and welcoming, and also reserved a parking space for us. In short, everything is fine, will stay again next time.
Verandahs Parkside Lodge
4.5/545 Reviews
It’s pretty much a backpacker’s hostel. Once that’s realized, expectations are adjusted accordingly. Let’s get the negatives out of the way: - must check out by 10 AM - there’s no air conditioning. There are fans, but at night, in summer, the rooms are uncomfortably warm. Everything else is positive. The location I felt was excellent. 20 minutes walk to the CBD; 30 minutes to the ferry terminal. You are right at Ponsonby, which is a main street for restaurants and coffee shops. There is an excellent supermarket one block away ( 5 minutes walk ). The lodge is very clean, and there’s a good community kitchen, where you can store your food as well as cook. I opted to pay + $20 per night extra for a private bath, but the hostel offers many bathrooms with showers. There are 2 washing machines and 1 dryer, each requiring NZD 6. The airport shuttle - Skydrive - operates from the Sky tower, a 20 minute walk. Here are the directions from the Sky Tower, which is on Hobson Street. Take Hobson for about 3 blocks, to Pitt Street. Go left on Pitt. Just one block on Pitt, on your right, you see a big, blue sign that reads “BECA”. After only one block on Pitt, with Beca Company on the right, that is Hopetoun Street. Go to the right. You will go up a bridge, with the expressway beneath you. As soon as you cross the bridge, you pass a girl’s grammar school, and Verandahs Lodge is clearly marked on the right, about the 4th building. The airport shuttle runs every 30 minutes, costs NZD 18 ( 12.50 for seniors ), and you pay driver, but only credit cards are accepted.
The Surrey Hotel
3.8/582 Reviews
Wow, from pulling up to the Hotel and seeing the run down building to the interior musty cigarette smell and then the rude girl at the counter, we didn’t have high hopes. This was confirmed when we had to call police as there was no answer from reception to assist with an incident occurring on site. This was understandably out of the Hotel’s control but why is there no after hours service and also no sympathy given we had 1 hour sleep. Mouldy ceilings, windows that are so broken they do not shut, and fearing for safety. Would never recommend.
At Eden Park Motel
4.4/530 Reviews
I stayed here for three weeks of my month's trip. That must tell you something! The owner and manager, Ichiro Iwasaki were amazing,friendly,polite, and helpful Clean, warm and secure. It's a Motel. 25 metres from metro and buses 🚌. 25 metres from Eden Park. Close to eating facilities in Kingsland. No food catering but fridge,crockery, kettle for your personal use, etc (tea/coffee/chocolate sachets provided) I will return as I was pleased with it overall 😊.
Ponsonby Manor Guest House
4.4/544 Reviews
We arrived at 11pm to luckily find the owner (Hongying) at the Manor. Our late arrival was prearranged with an employee and confirmed in an email. She told us that the Penthouse with the Private Verenda that we booked (and had a confirmation number and email from their own internal web site, through which we booked) was already taken. Needless to say we were extremely disappointed. She told us they have us in a main floor room in the front of the building as the only room remaining. Hongying said that she had to fire her prior managers and that she knows of a problem with their reservation system. That being said, she should have attempted to reconfirm ALL her reservations so guests won't be disappointed like we were. We will say that all the 5 stars for this property are warranted as our substitute room was nicely furnished for our 4 nights stay and the location is in the heart of the action in Ponsonby. Hongying was very accommodating in having an electrician fix to an electrical short which caused the Manor wifi and our room air conditioner to cease from working.
