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.

Unfortunately this wasn’t a “hotel” experience at all. We made the most of our stay but it was a bit disappointing when it came to staff service. We tried ringing reception on multiple occasions throughout our three days there and the phone was never answered. Our rooms weren’t serviced even though the booking site says serviced once per stay. We booked two rooms so our family could all stay together but they put us 8 floors apart from each other. There was no ice. Terrible smell in the bathroom too and wasn’t aware there were residents amongst our rooms so strong cooking smells coming through the air conditioning was awful. We tried discussing this when checking out but we felt ignored. Great location and a nice pool but that would be all we would recommend about it unfortunately.

The whole floor smelt like over cooked cabage it was disgusting. There was no access to tooth brushes (surely there should be some spares at reception avail on request or to purchase) and the room while clean was in need of a decent upgrade. Very expensive room for the standard of the premises

Disappointed
We didn’t end up staying we checked out due firstly to the odour that emanated through the hotel from permanent residence living in the hotel. The room itself was unkempt bathroom was grott, toilet seat coming off and cupboards falling apart. dirty floor. Beds were dishevelled. TV was on in room like someone had been staying in the room in vacated just as we arrived. In the room for a period of approximately 15 minutes before leaving hotel. Very disappointing to arrive to the state that it was.
