Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I booked for 4 days, checked out after 2 days and requested no refund. I'd rather sleep on the street. Upon checking in, I had to pay a $150 deposit in case of damage. Damage to what precisely I wonder? My room had the bed right by the door, no bedside furniture or power point easily accessible, and I could reach the handle of my door easier than the light switch. The faeces brown carpet was a mosaic of multiple pieces of equally worn patches, there was no table or chair, but a narrow counter with a badly stained high stool. The wall-mounted TV was loose so moving it in any way was a risk, on top of which the TV would not reliably give you access to any channel because of weak signal. This wasn't a hotel room, it was a prison cell dressed up to be more than what it was. Not only did I have to pay a $150 deposit, the establishment didn't understand their legal responsibility to provide me with an itemised receipt detailing the deposit, room charge, etc. It took 20 minutes to get this provided to me. Reluctantly I might add. This place felt more like a halfway house than a hotel. Stay away. I made multiple videos of my room, while making contemporaneous notes during my time there just in case there was fallout from this review. Horrible place.

This accommodation has been the best of all my stays in Auckland, safe, super clean, great kitchen, very friendly staff and so close to K Road and the CBD (great shopping and dining), yet very quiet situated amongst a road of large trees; the best. I will be back.

Convenient to all central Auckland, room was standard but a bit Dusty toilet paper holder dirty and blinds , not a complaint tho . Staff friendly, good variety of information for visiting Auckland. Community kitchen facility was absolutely immaculate and a nice lounge area to swap books or meet people. Zero alcohol policy which is good, be aware of the $140 bond regardless of paying in advance which is standard policy. Would stay again

Unless you look on the city lodge official website you’ll get a big surprise when your asked to pay a 140$ deposit on top of your room cost , let alone no information about there being no onsite parking because it is closed for repairs.

Great short stay

For the quality,cleanliness and facilities within the room, the price is exceptionally competitive. I was pleased with the location. Close to cbd, k road, and ponsonby. The room isn't the biggest but everything is super clean. My only complaint, like most of the hotel guests, is that the tv service provided by Sky went off during my first day at the accommodation and didn't return before i checked out. The reception staff were friendly. Special shout out to Simran who tried valiantly to resolve the tv issues.

It was an okay stay. The blinds in the room were a joke. The sunlight was maddening. I had to put up a blanket to keep the light out. In addition, the neighbors from the apartments next door were loud and obnoxious even late at nights. On the plus side, its fairly close to the CBD. You get what you pay for basically

It’s actually a dry hotel, a bit like a hostel. There are shared kitchen and laundry facilities in the basement. Staff were friendly. Cleaning is done once a week similar to other hotels in Australia.

My start was excellent. The staff were super helpful, friendly and when out of there way. The only issue I had was having a friend come up to my room for a short while. He was questioned by the receptionist. Not sure what all that was about. I guess it's for security reasons. Shouldn't have been a problem as he wasn't staying with me.
