Auckland Mangere Bridge Hotels

Stayed at AKL Kiwi for a night before early flight to ZQN the next day. Getting to the hotel via shuttle (yellow bus) was straightforward but you need to carry your own bags on/off the bus. Hotel had 2 floors and if your bags are heavy and your room on 2nd floor, there are no elevators . Room-wise it was OK but door knob was quite weirdly placed (I'm 5'10” and had to bend down to insert key into the lock). Quiet location, clean but no elevators.

Have stayed here before and find it the best value for a place to stay overnight close to the airport with a free shuttle. Reception staff pleasant on arrival and departure. Didn't use the restaurant for dinner or breakfast but looks nice. Would stay here again if the price remains lower than other options.

The attitude of the service staff was very good, especially a Chinese counter staff member who was still outside when we were taken to the airport before we confirmed that the terminal was not wrong before leaving. The rooms are large and the facilities are good. It's just the cemetery opposite. I got frightened when I got up in the morning and saw if everyone would mind.

It was convenient because the inn was in the city center. The entrance to the building was always locked, so I don't think the security aspect was bad.

We had a good room this time. Previously, we had a room on level one. It was more like a dungeon. This time we requested a room on a higher level and got one on level nine. Much, much better. Clean and tidy. Breakfast was included in the room price. Unfortunately, they don't do cooked breakfast anymore. We only found this out on our arrival. The contintal breakfast is very basic and not woth paying for. Be warned, the car park costs an additional $35 a night, you have to request a space but it is not guaranteed. I'd still say it's good value for money for a one night stay.

I am travelling with family with kids and elderly. The grand is probably the best central location that you can find in Auckland if you are taking public transport. The pickup and dropoff for Skybus to Auckland airport is a 5 min walk away. The surrounding has plenty of restaurants including japanese & Chinese food. Facilities wise it has a gym and a heated swimming pool which the kids enjoy. Room is clean & spacious. Hotel price wise is on a high but weighing all the plus points, I will book it again for all the reasons above.

Sky tower locates in the CBD, where you get access to any tourism sites. No need to take bus or train to shopping area. The car parking service is great which saves us a lot of budget.

I really liked the hotel! I had a gorgeous room with a washing machine, kitchen, large bed, work area and a view of the tower. When checking in, they asked for a $500 deposit. A little unexpectedly large, but they returned it upon check-out. The kitchen has excellent new appliances. I really enjoyed using the oven. There are problems with the Internet. It doesn't connect, the connection drops with an error. You have to try to connect again many times. It connects after the 5th time. You can set any temperature on the climate control remote, but if you set it to 23-24 degrees, it doesn't start heating right away, but after 5-10 minutes. A comfortable office chair. You can sit and work at the table. I was allowed to check in a little earlier and it was also possible to check out at night, since the reception is open 24 hours. There is a restaurant with buffet breakfasts.

The hotel is just everything you need in Auckland. We booked a one-bedroom suite, with a double bed and a sofa bed that can fit us 3 well. There are enough amenities for travellers abroad from washing/dryer machine, microwave, oven, fridge, stove, kitchenware, dining table. Housekeeping is daily so this helps clear the rubbish in the room much. Staff is helpful and you get to use anytime fitness for free (we didn't use it though). Walking distance to 24/7 shop, Woolworths, Sky Tower, Les Mills Auckland City, Britomart, University of Auckland. The only downsides for us are unstable hot shower and air con is a bit stingy. But during our stay it's cold enough that we don't need Aircon. We'll definitely come back here if we travel to Auckland.

This hotel sits almost next to the Sky City and Sky Towers and very close to the airport bus stops but is a long walk towards the harbour. So it depends what your intention was. Other than that we didn't use any of the facilities or breakfast so there is not much to comment on their qualities. The check in was a bit of slow as the staff seemed too distracted by a chatty customer in front of us to clear the queue first.
