Room was fine. Reception staff were friendly. Location is perfect for those wanting to be near the airport. Had to check in and check out at Gateway next door. The restaurant wasn’t great.

Very run down, there was 1 towel for 2 of us, no hand towels, heater was broken, no hairdryer, in fact the room was quite empty, no extra pillows or blankets...we were very disappointed in the condition overall. Cup of tea facilities were definitely lacking, looked like nothing had been checked over and restocked

I was really disappointed with my stay. The bed had clearly been made with dirty sheets, and the single towel provided was so thin it was almost threadbare. Several areas of the room were dusty, and there were signs of mould as well. Overall, the room felt poorly maintained and far below expectations

We did not even enter the premises. The property looked dirty and neglected. It looked like parts of the roof were falling in. Some curtains were drawn, half falling down and mouldy. There were some shady looking characters hanging around the entrance. It felt unsafe to even walk in to check in.

Had a room with a locking door. Beds were comfortable and bed linens were clean but, in all other respects it was like staying in a dorm room / hostel. Fine if you are just looking for a bed while awaiting a flight the next day. The free shuttle to and from the airport was a nice benefit. Good value for the price we paid.

The room had not been cleaned and clearly not for awhile. It is in need of a deep clean. There was rubbish and visible dirt. I was bitten all over my body and have ended up with red welts from sleeping in the bed. I have asked for a refund with no response. I did not expect anything fancy, just clean.I do not recommend this place, it's not worth it.

Walked into my first room and the smell of mould was very strong, black mould all through the bathroom. I was given a second room and the smell of mould was much less but still present. You could see that someone had cleaned the mould from the ceiling and walls in the bathroom but that it was coming back. Plasce was cheap but not cheap enough for that.

The room we were given was so hot (like a sauna). No air conditioning. We went to open the sliding door (which had trouble sliding) and a window by the door was half open and broken. The room did not appear to be very clean. Old dirty carpeting. The bathroom needs serious updating. Only one bath towel in the room. No facecloths. No hand towel. The hallways in the building were so dirty. We brought all this to the desk staff's attention, and they gave us a room at the neighboring hotel The Gateway for an extra charge. That room was a huge improvement and had air conditioning, and the building was cleaner. We appreciated being moved. The VR Auckland Airport Hotel needs air conditioned rooms and a serious upgrade and deep clean.
