Friendly and helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and nice selections for breakfast! The hotel is conveniently located a couple blocks from the new convention center, and a couple more blocks from shopping on Queen Street. In particular, the shower heated up quickly and helped warm me up on the cool winter Auckland mornings.

The place is a bit run down and not what it used to be. If you want a cheap place with a comfy bed and no frills, it’s good.

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, lovely staff, making for a pleasant stay. However, the room could benefit from some maintenance, as a few furnishings were in need of repair. The bathroom was also very small, with limited space—the toilet was positioned so close to the shower that my knees touched the shower glass while sitting. With a few improvements and more accurate representation of the rooms, the overall experience would be much better.

Always love staying at this hotel! It’s in a great location, beds are very comfortable and things are generally pretty quiet in the rooms. I love your $10 happy hour as well.
My only critique would be of BREAKFAST. I’d love to see a few more options with the hot dishes and not see the same thing every day.
For anyone looking for parking there is a building right next door which only charges $15 per day Friday through Sunday. Very convenient

The shower could do with a little more water pressure and there were a few broken tiles that need replacing but other than that thr room was great.

We had dinner amd breakfast at the restaurant and both were very tasty and enjoyable.

I recently stayed at Rydges Auckland and had mixed feelings compared to my pre-COVID experience. On my previous visit, it felt truly luxurious—exactly what I’d expect from the Rydges brand. This time, it felt more average, though still enjoyable overall.
The location is a major highlight. It’s right in central Auckland, within easy walking distance of Spark Arena, SkyCity Casino, and downtown Auckland, which makes it very convenient for both entertainment and exploring the city.
Check-in was smooth, and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful throughout the stay. Valet parking is available at $55 NZD per night, which is handy if you’re driving. I also liked that breakfast can be added if you want it, and there’s a bar on-site for convenience.
One feature I really loved was the small coffee/food stall setup in the foyer—it’s a great touch for grabbing something quickly. My room had a lovely view out toward the Auckland Harbour Bridge, which added to the overall experience.
The room itself was comfortable, with a king-size bed that was incredibly cozy—definitely a standout. The bathroom was a standard size. I didn’t see a hairdryer in the bathroom, so you may need to request one (or check the cupboards). There was also a good-sized fridge and the usual complimentary tea, coffee, and milk provided.
One downside was that only two lifts were operating, which sometimes made getting between floors feel quite slow and frustrating.
The price did feel a bit high at the time of bo

What a fantastic hotel! The staff provided truly first-class service and were incredibly accommodating to our travel needs. We loved the location—it was so easy to walk to everywhere we wanted to go. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained, but our favorite part was how comfortable the beds and pillows were—it honestly felt like sleeping on clouds. We would absolutely recommend staying here!

The hotel is located behind the District Courthouse which is where I needed to go to it was convenient. Overall was good. Enjoyed the buffet breakfast and valet parking.

I did find a female receptionist unfriendly, not needed after a long drive to get to the hotel from out of town.

There is a balcony advertised, but this is open 3x days per week 'if we struck the right week' according to a staff member. Gym looked great, didn't find an onsite pool. I would this as a 'working hotel' for lay overs for flight attendants, business people visiting overnight, booked a twin room clean and comfortable. Thank You. x

The rooms are old/dated with insufficient lighting & paper-thin doors. I think that the cleaning staff do as well as they can with their horribly noisy, ancient carts. The air exchange vent was disgusting. The elevators are on their last leg/cable. Lastly, the staff at the \"bar\" & hostess for the restaurant was clearly not happy about actually waiting on a customer. The restaurant (The Cut) had less than 20 customers, but I was told that there would be at least a 45 minute wait. When I asked why, since it was less than 25% full, the response was, \"well, we'd have to get everything together\". I had to laugh.

when i made the booking i made it very clear that i was disabled and would be using a wheelchair however this was ignored, we were placed on the 7th floor with a tight L shaped entry to the the room. which made entry to the room very difficult. on entry to the room which was supposed to cater for 4, fortunately there was only 2 of us , there was one very unstable chair which tipped you out, the beds was on wheels which were not locked and moved when you sat on the bed there was no expel air of fan in bath room the tiles when wet were slippery and i managed to slip the room was certainly not made for a wheelchair. there was no information folder or emergency information about what to do in an emergency. We rang for a room service menu which we never got. the front of house staff were very unhelpful no smile and really couldn't be bothered when we finally got to order room service meal for 2 we got beautiful meals but only one set of cutlery . On the upside the restaurant was excellent great food, both dinner and breakfast the staff were brilliant as well .
