Hotels Near The University of Auckland in Auckland

Overall, it is average and the location is quite convenient, near Queen Street. The room is relatively clean, but the kitchen supplies including microwave oven, oven and cooking utensils including frying pans and clay pots are poorly maintained and cannot be used. During the stay (5 days and 4 nights), there was no housekeeping provided, nor instructions on how to change towels, dispose of garbage, or purchase consumables such as toilet paper, garbage bags, etc. When checking in, the hotel staff did not mention the above arrangements. Fortunately, there is no cooking, there is not much garbage, and we have our own garbage bags. In addition, the day before departure, I asked about transportation information to the airport. The hotel staff provided a ”taxi” contact number and mentioned the fare. This service was originally very good, but unfortunately the driver contacted had questionable integrity. Before getting in the car, The charge was originally NZ$60, but when I finally arrived at the airport I was asked to pay NZ$70, which was very excessive. I hope the hotel can face up to this problem and not introduce this taxi company to customers, so as not to affect the hotel's image.

Wonderful stay. Very nice room with comfortable beds and a large glass desk. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. Location is great. 10-15 minute walk to the port, 5 minute walk to Sky Tower. Lots of restaurants and shops within a one minute to 5 minute walk from hotel

Kids wanted pizza. The pepperoni was actually a peppercorn salami which the kids really didn’t like.. the pizza was also extremely cheese.. as in over the top cheese. Even the kids couldn’t finish all the cheese. The rooms are definitely not for a family of four. Our girls are small but you absolutely cannot maneuver around the room with bumping in to each other. And because we are a family, we have two suitcases, which have to go on the floor (very valuable real estate lost there). So we were constantly have to open and close and shuffle our suitcases to get our stuff. Other than that, the room did its job for two nights. It was clean and the staff were accommodating as they could be.

The location of Barclay Suites is great, although the area is currently under road work construction out front. The reception staff were very friendly and accommodating to any of our queries and needs. The two bedroom, two bathroom suite was very convenient to have on our travels. It is a great offering not many of the other hotels have. The cleanliness was not up to par, however, as there was multiple stained furniture pieces, pillow cases along with debris, dirt, and dust present throughout the unit. Unit could use a very good thorough cleaning to bring it up to standard. Further, the two in one washer dryer is not very good. Made our whites grey, and did not dry properly. The cycles are hours, some 4 hours plus long, so it’s not really efficient or useable at all.

Clean and new hotel. However, the pillows were too soft/flat and not enough hangers provided. Location was great! Except that it’s on a slope, so there’s climbing up and down when u wana go out and get back. There’s road works going on just outside. Breakfast spread was ok. Overall a comfortable stay.

It’s funny that I get to write my first review for a hotel. Since this is a new hotel, there are no reviews for this hotel on any hotel platform. In addition, I have had disappointing accommodation experiences in Europe and Australia in the past. When booking a room, I can only try it with a luck mentality. Fortunately, I was very satisfied with this stay. The main entrance of the hotel is from the alley behind the church (note that it is not the door facing the road). The hotel facilities are new and clean. There is a coffee machine in the underground lobby, and bread and bottled juice are provided in the morning. The hotel staff were enthusiastic, proactive and courteous. When we checked in, they took the initiative to help us deliver our luggage to the room immediately. When we checked out, they also asked us if we needed help calling Taxi. They learned that we had arranged a Super Shuttle ourselves and took the initiative to help us communicate with the driver and provide guidance. The driver drove the car to the main entrance of the hotel (it turned out that there was another entrance to the parking space underneath the hotel). The hotel room is very clean, with enough space to open two large suitcases, and the view outside the window is very beautiful! All snacks and drinks in the room are free for guests to consume. The bathroom is very spacious and the toiletries are very fragrant and useful. However, the bathroom countertop is a bit lacking in space. We stayed here for three nights and the room was tidied the next day to our satisfaction. Overall, it was a good accommodation experience. It was a good place to rest and recharge after arriving in New Zealand after a long flight.

We were really looking forward to our stay at this hotel, which is new, has a very central location, is very clean, and has a very-well equipped gym. These features were greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, we encountered a few issues that affected our experience. Despite booking for three guests, our room was only prepared for two, and even after requesting additional amenities, they were not fully provided. The in-room phone was also not working, making it difficult to communicate with the front desk. Housekeeping seemed inconsistent—our room was not thoroughly cleaned after the first night, with some items left out of place and the trash not emptied. Additionally, when ordering a breakfast box for an early checkout, we were surprised by the lack of flexibility in food choices, as we could only remove items rather than substitute them. A bit more understanding from the staff in handling such requests would have been appreciated. Lastly, we noticed that some of the buffet food tasted stale, and one of our family members felt unwell afterward. We’re not sure if this was an isolated incident, but it was a bit concerning.

The room is in a great location in the business center, close to the pier and surrounded by shopping malls. I would like to mention the most satisfying breakfast. Everything on the semi-buffet breakfast menu is super delicious. One morning, because I went out early, the hotel prepared a breakfast box, which was also very thoughtful. It was a very satisfying stay. Next time I come to Auckland, I will definitely choose this hotel again.

The location, service and environment are all good, and there are Chinese girls serving.

Probably the last time I’ll stay here. Communication wasn’t great, got charged full room amount for the bond and then when I went to check out, they said the room wasn’t prepaid which it was. Very stink and yeah dumb.
