An interesting place to stay. Comfy beds, great shower, spacious room. Could do with some dampening of the noise from the trains going right past the windows and the other guests using their bathrooms! Very echoey due to age of the building. Fantastic curry in hotel restaurant lobby but the smell emanated in every public area. Definitely a backpacker/student choice.

It’s a really cool building right next door to spark arena so super handy if going to a concert or other event there. The rooms are clean and tidy and it was very quiet. It’s nothing fancy, the rooms have been done up but as cheaply as possible and not with a high attention to detail.

I felt the room was very overpriced for a very basic room but it was clean & tidy with a nice bathroom. Right next door to Spark Arena which was convenient for our concert, the lady on reception was lovely, showed us to our room & gave us a later check out time. Take earplugs though as very noisy outside all night.

A nice basic setup with some kitchen amenities located in an old rail station for some ancient. Indian restaurant onsite for convenience.

Front desk people were incredibly polite and helpful. The location is excellent for getting onto trains in and out of Auckland. It is located in a historic building that is just beautiful. We dine at the Indian restaurant in the lobby of the old train station building and the meal was very good. We also walked around the neighborhood and did some shopping for food to take on the train. There are many restaurant options in the neighborhood. It was very convenient for us to get on the train to Wellington, which is only a 5 minute walk away.

Good location for catching the Northern Explorer

Stayed one night prior to catching the Northern Explorer from the Strand Station. Overall we liked our stay in this wonderful space. The building provides short and long term accommodation which gives it a slightly odd feel. Our room was very well equipped with new fittings, it was a little functional despite some nice touches. The view from our ground floor window was rather unkempt. The laundry was large and good value. There were plenty of places to eat in Parnell which is only a short walk away.

Spacious rooms with good amenities. Friendly staff. One of the best budget hotels we have stayed at. Very attentive staff who went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Initially a bit dubious what we had booked when walking towards our room but once in our room we were impressed. Good size living and sleeping area and bathroom appeared recently renovated. Easy walk to town. Ideal venue if staying to attend concert at Spark Arena.

Unique setting. Arrived in evening, checked-in through gated desk. Very noisy with kids playing in station ? Long term renters or emergency housing with a shared kitchen for their cooking. Room ok - recently renovated but black mould and cobwebs in windiw. View unkep back yard. Booked 2 nights but left after 1 night. Seemed better by daylight but wouldn't return. Sorry, don't like placing a review like this. Staff however were good.

Amazing heritage building, being the old Railway Station. Rooms are tidy and well equipped with kitchenette, heaters, fans etc, with access to a large kitchen and laundry. Can be a bit noisy being an old building and is next to the railway line on one side and Spark Arena on another side.

Spend a little more to stay somewhere way nicer.

Avoid. Horrendous odour in corridors. Still have not received my deposit back.

Spark Arena Visit

Was a very different place to stay for a visit to the Spark Arena which is right next door.

They've done well kitting out the old railway station as accommodation. Some permanent and some not. Very cheap with just no soap in our shower dispenser the only real complaint.

The reception staff were insulting
She accused my partner of being a prostitute
I have never met someone so rude in all my life
I would. Like this escalated

Property was amazing but very confusing where you get there as to how to check in as everything is locked up and no one around. Luckily the linen guy turned up while I was there and he helped me.
Apart from that don't have any grumbles. Poor things got hammered in the flood so there was a bit of dirt etc around but to be expected.
Comfortable bed, nice room.
Shower pressure was far too hard (who ever says that). Couldn't even shower properly as when the water hit the floor it threw the shower head up and washed the roof. Actually hurt to have a shower.

Definitely outdated rooms. When we checked in, we were given a room that wasn’t clean. Then the room they ended up giving us, had a broken AC. No amenities. Very very basic hotel in a neat historic building

Arrived at this property in the early evening to check-in, however the reception desk was shut. There was a sign with a phone number but my calls went unanswered. Without anyone there to facilitate the check-in, I left and found alternative accommodation. Someone from the hotel phoned later that night to ask if I'd be checking in. I explained the issue I had and they agreed a refund should be provided, however it's now almost two months later and I still don't have a refund. After initially seeming willing to resolve the situation, the hotel is now refusing to answer my emails, which is, in effect, theft of funds paid for a service not provided. Would not recommend!

A very utilitarian property. The amenities were all there in our room and it was quite clean, but totally lacking in charm. The onsite restaurant appears to be permanently closed. The old railway station building has such potential, but it hasn’t been realized yet.

Room was great, everything we needed. Downside is the noise from the trains an dodgy characters sitting an walking wasted or drinking out the front, obviously they living there under the emergency housing scheme. Felt abit unsafe for me an my child.

Lovely welcome! Reasonably Quiet for being beside the train ( — it is the old train station). Clever compensating (I imagine) leaving towel rail on! The thinking was: no need for replacement towels on my 2 night stay?? But double the tea bag please. I don’t want to have to go to reception for more tea bags and didn’t (total 3 for 2 night stay.) but still would stay here again

This accommodation is fantastic based on its location compared to Spark Arena alone. Takes some of the stress out of the trip because you know the venue for the event is right there.
Only issue was a late night fire alarm during my stay, but this was reasonably well managed by the staff
