Very busy and vibrant hostel with a bar attached. The bed was comfy but the room was lacking furniture - there was a chair but no proper table. Shared washrooms were well kept by everyone. A little distance from the main shopping area but near to sky tower (where you can get a chartered bus from the airport).
Don't bother to do pre check-in online - they asked for a card for deposit / incidentals, and the card got charged for the rooms even though I have paid trip.com. Although the staff was prompt to do refunds, but lost like $20 on unnecessary fx rates and credit card fees. You will need to give your details onsite anyways, so save the time on something else.
It would be better if the staff were more welcoming, but I guess it is tough with so many guests to handle every minute.
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.
Very good location . Very clean rooms . Small but cozy
And beds Very comfortable.
Fantastic staff, special shout out to Daniel, Brian and Tina for looking after us and the rest of staff.
BONUS tea and coffee in reception on tap 24hrs a day.
Very accommodating. Easy to call Uber and accessible to buses to go anywhere.
The location of the hotel is very easy to find. After arriving at the TV tower at the bus station, go straight downhill in front of the car. Turn right at the intersection of traffic lights and the red house is there. It is convenient to eat and live on the nearby street. You can cook and store luggage in the hostel. There is an elevator running, and it is convenient to take a shower
The front desk staff was very friendly and helped solve all the problems. They boiled water and stored our luggage. They also helped us get into the room early because we were too tired from jet lag. The price was very affordable. It was about a 15-minute walk from Queen Street. You can also order Uber for takeout, and the delivery fee was cheap.
Checked in on Christmas Day. After checking in in the afternoon, the kids wanted to drink mineral water. The nearby shops were not open. May at the reception was very friendly and took out 2 bottles of mineral water from her car. Thank her very much. Because of her, I can give a good review to the hotel.
Arriving at the international airport, we needed to depart the next morning on a domestic flight so opted to stay at the Gateway because it was on the route of the free bus with accommodation. $8 pp if no booking. The Hotel looked shabby from the outside, however was really surprised at how clean and comfortable the rooms were, we also dined in the restaurant, large portion, food, and reasonable prices would definitely stay again.
I feel that this Ctrip did not write clearly, this hotel is clearly a motel, but nothing is marked, we were dumbfounded when we arrived, the hotel could not see any hotel lobby, and it was directly open on the side of the road. The hotel, the first floor arranged for us, is equivalent to opening the door directly to the side of the road. It is possible for people passing by to pry at your door. The most important thing is that any information of the occupants is not required. How complicated the staff is, of course, there are advantages, the room can cook, the hotel is next to the supermarket, you can buy things to cook, but the advantages and disadvantages are obvious, depending on how you weigh, we can completely live in a four-star hotel, I didn't expect to live in a motel
The room is clean and tidy, the staff can speak Chinese, and communication is easy. The most important thing is that you can cook, and the kitchen utensils and gas are all included. I am not used to eating out, so I can just buy some ingredients and cook them when I come back. The overall experience is great, I am very satisfied!
Very Good

RRobertThe outside of the hotel looks a bit crappy but the room is neat and clean.
The location is amazing because it is really super close to the airport and they offer shuttle service.
Service was good but there was no reception and had to go to the motel next door, but the staff there was very helpful.

GGuest UserHave 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.
Ffairuz mamaIt has the best location, near a bus stop, walking distance to skye tower, Britomart station, albert park, Auckland fish market, viaduct and a lot more. I ended up not using my train card. They have a very friendly staff at reception.
As for the housekeeping, was not happy because they just fixed my bedsheets, throw trash but did not vacuum the floor and clean the toilet room.

GGuest UserModern, clean tidy rooms. Just what you need after a long flight.
Very peaceful/ quiet surrounding.
Only downside is a short drive out is required to get to restaurants and supermarket
JJUNThe hotel facilities are too old, but the rooms are big enough. The location of the hotel is very good, just at the seaside of Half Moon Bay, a few steps away from the door to see the pier full of private yachts. Supermarkets and restaurants are also nearby, and the walking distance is only 20-30 meters.
