It was bit like stepping back in time, back to honesty and trust. They offer a free drink, if you want more you write down what you had, for eg. No full length mirror. Also no shower cap! Otherwise everything you could want. Very quiet. Nice rooms.
Had a great welcome from the host and was very helpful. The room was pretty dated but very clean. Not sure about other rooms but the sheets felt a little damp, not sure whether that was just Auckland on this day.
A lovely hotel. A bit shabby around the edges, perhaps, but clean and well-maintained and full of bright charm and character. The neighborhood is predominately residential: the quiet streets are lined with attractive homes. Just up from the hotel is the main road, with loads of good cafes and restaurants and shopping, not to mention views down the other side of CBD. I love to walk, so it wasn't a problem to me that the hotel was a good 45 minutes or even an hour by foot from downtown. The hotel breakfast was not included in my rate, which I was told was just as well because if I paid for it in my rate I'd be paying for breakfast for two, and I am a solo traveler; instead I went up to the high street, which was great. I will gladly come back the next time I'm in Auckland.
