A great way to start our trip!

This is where we started our trip to New Zealand, after a 15.5 hour flight and then 2 hours to rent a car and get into Auckland, it was a great place to be. We were early, reception let us park our car and had our room ready right at two. It gave us time to go explore and have some lunch before coming back to settle for a bit before more exploring. Everyone was great, nice, and helpful to us here. Only thing the room was missing was hand, soap, but that was an easy fix to go buy some for the entirety of our trip. Very lovely location across from the park, our room was up high so we had great views of the entire park and bay. Good food close, and lots of coffee options in the mornings if you didn't want coffee or tea in your room.

It was a beautiful well set up apartment, the maintenance let it down a bit, painting was not up to scratch, obvious water damage on bathroom door, just picky items. what i really didn't like was the toilet flush in the ensuite, nearly broke a finger never mind a nail trying to push it in, We did get only one key - with four adults staying. i'm sure we could have asked for another if it really bothered us as we did for towels when swimming in the pool, I would definitely recommend this hotel and will stay again if required,

A great value option in down-town Auckland

I booked a harbour view suite and could indeed see the harbour, although if I had been a few floors higher would have had an even better view! The room had everything I needed (including washing machine, tumble dryer, ironing board, microwave etc.). The bed was comfortable and the show pressure was terrific! The wifi was fine, but what disappointed was the impossibility of casting from my laptop to the TV in the room, despite following all the on-screen instructions. There was no other way to connect between laptop and TV, and as there were only 12 NZ channels and Al Jazeera sometimes available by TV this was a bit of a blow.

Great value and large rooms!

The front of house are excellent, super friendly and helpful, and the room sizes are outstanding compared to most hotels. Technology like WiFi and streaming to the TV could be improved - but overall it works OK. Having a kitchen in the room is ideal for those on a longer-term stay or who prefer to cook and dine in. The hotel is obviously needing some TLC in most of the rooms, the ones that have been refurbished are much better, so try asking for a refurbished room. Stay on the upper floors and the outside noise - whilst it's not bad, is way less. Great views of the park, city and harbour. We stay in the Akl CBD one or two nights a week, and so far Avani Metropolis would be our preference (other than when they have a cruise boat full of guests when it becomes crazy pricing). Highly recommended!
