Ibis Budget Auckland Airport

Our flight from Sydney to Auckland was delayed, so it was already late at night when we arrived in New Zealand. We stayed at a hotel near the airport, which was indeed very close by, but it’s still quite a distance from attractions like the Blue Spring. Breakfast options were limited, but the staff were quite warm and friendly~

Great experience overall! The staff were very welcoming and warm, and booking through this platform offers fantastic value for money.

The hotel's location is convenient, close to Auckland Airport, saving a lot of travel time to the airport. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with practical facilities. Overall, it was a good stay, very suitable for family travelers who need to catch early flights or have a short stopover.

The hotel's proximity to McDonald's, KFC, Taco Bell, Warehouse, and Woolworths was incredibly convenient. While the airport is within walking distance, it's a bit far. So, as previous reviews suggested, I took the domestic terminal bus from the bus stop in front of the tourism school, across the road behind the hotel, and then walked to the international terminal. Tapping my credit card on and off the bus cost $3. The Yellow Bus from the front of the hotel costs $8, but it's convenient if you're going to the international terminal, and there's a pre-payment machine at the hotel reception. The room had cookies, tea bags, and instant coffee. There were no bottled water bottles, but there was milk for coffee pods in the fridge. There was a water dispenser near the reception, and in the breakfast area, there was a coffee machine, tea bags, plates, cutlery, and a microwave. We bought butter chicken from the supermarket and heated it up, which was delicious. Despite being compact, there was a kids' area, and some families were using it while having dinner. I was very happy that the coffee machine offered free flat whites and other options. The room amenities included one type of liquid soap that served as hand soap, shampoo, and body wash, available at both the sink and in the shower. Since some shampoos don't suit me, I used my own shampoo and conditioner. I used the provided soap as hand soap and body wash without any issues. I tried to be careful not to hit my head on the bunk bed, but I did. Be prepared for a compact room; I had to open my suitcase on the bed. It's a highly recommended location for those using the airport.

This hotel is near the airport and offers a paid shuttle service to and from the airport. While the price is relatively cheap, the rooms aren't very spacious. I got a pleasant surprise when the front desk upgraded me to a family room on check-in.

The bed was so soft and comfortable, I didn't want to wake up. The room was a bit cramped, but everything else was comfortable. Coffee and drinking water were always available at the entrance, and there was also a microwave. You can buy daily necessities at the supermarket next door.

The hotel is very close to Auckland Airport, just over 1 kilometer walk. It's suitable as a transit hotel for airport stays. The room is quite small, similar to hotels in Japan. Even opening two 24-inch suitcases is a struggle. However, the hotel's cleanliness is acceptable. If you need the shuttle bus to the airport, you can check the timetable at the front desk; it costs six New Zealand dollars per ride.
