Tired old lady in a great location

Good location close to the centre of Takapuna, and a short walk to the beach. Our room was pleasant, with views over the lake and ocean, but there were some unwanted curry smells around. The shower went crazy and soaked everything in the bathroom. Public areas need some major upgrades - wooden floors in the foyer were in poor repair and there was a lot of old wooden furniture in the bar that made it feel 1970;s - disappointing that the bar closed at 10pm on a Friday night. Wifi was terrible.

Really average, wouldn’t stay again.

Check in was fine, staff friendly. The room very basic and tired. Most annoying was the private apartment had next door had an old can rolling around the balcony very noisily in the wind (it had been used as an alternative to a pipe) I was with my children and not thrilled about the neighbours getting high next door. They offered to move us which was great. The pool area is also very tired with a lot of broken furniture, there is no restaurant. The rooms weren’t super clean with mould and hair in the bathroom. The reviews on this place were far too generous, if you’re looking at this price point I’d definitely recommend another place (almost any other place would be better)

Our room’s wifi wasn’t working - the manager got us another room quickly. The room was nice- but there was a large family nearby cooking some very potent smelling food and it went through the vents and into our room and was not to our liking. It was pretty powerful and while probably tasty for them- not so great for our visit

I had an amazing view of Takapuna Beach from the 16th floor room with balcony. The room was a bit dated with cleaning service offered only every 3rd day. The front desk staff stay in the back office and are not visible. You need to stand at the couter for a while before the attendant notices that you are there and comes out. The front desk staff seems to change quite often as do the duty managers, several times a day, so communication and continuity across staff members can be bad. We tried the hotel restaurant pizza and it was very average. The view from my room and everything outside of the hotel was amazing. Many delicious restaurants, cafes and shopping are steps away and most importantly Takapuna Beach is spectacular. The beach is a short walk. I am glad I stayed in this beach area and not in the city central area in Auckland. We reserved an uber to puck us up in early mornings and out to the city center for out day trips. I loved Takapuna Beach.
