A bit dated and worn (threadbare armchairs), belying the photos online, with a very minimally equipped kitchen (great microwave with crisping feature though!). But, the front desk and housekeeping staff were very responsive and quickly fixed any deficiencies.

We were disappointed to find out on arrival that the AC was out of order (a long-standing problem about which we could have been notified to allow a decision to relocate), however a fan was provided, and with a balcony door and windows that opened the room temperature was comfortable.

Location was great - a half hour walk to the Viaduct Quay and Ferry Terminal in one direction, and the Auckland Domain in the other, with a huge selection of shops and restaurants along both routes.

Overall: clean, safe, very spacious room, conveniently located, and excellent value for the price. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

With the air conditioning out it was very hot even with fans so had to have balcony door and windows open. Unfortunately the area is not a nice area where it is situated with what seems like emergency housing and lots of street people all night long going up and down street making noise.

Constant banging from above room through night to 3am

It was ok. Kitchen wasn't fully equipped, no chopping board, missing cutlery, strange washing liquid sachets for washing dishes etc. a bit dated interior and things have been painted over to look better but not really replaced or updated. and there was a strange smell that we decided to put up with. It was an ok space but for a similar price we stayed at Quest Queen Street on the other side of the park which was perfect. Would definitely recommend that over parkside. There was no AC which was explained as being replaced but this should've prompted some compensation or at least be mentioned in the ad for the room, some compensation should have definitely been given when we had issues with the smell.

The room was in desperate need of an overhaul! The air conditioning didn’t work and the controls had been taped up with thick white tape. The same tape made an appearance at the bottom of the bathroom door to hold it together and the cleanliness of the room and balcony left a lot to be desired. Shame the room doesn’t receive the same treatment as the foyer area of the building!

There was no air conditioning which on a hot day in January isn't good enough. Apparently an ongoing issue for a few months so we wouldn't have booked if we knew that. Also the bathroom had ants and was grimy. Not family friendly as we had a balcony and no lock on the balcony door. We could not relax with our three year old, worrying he might open the door. The tv did not have any channels we had to cast from our phones. Dairy free milk options would have been great. The iron provided did not work I had to phone for another one and took ages to get it. Won't stay here again.

It was lovely to have doors and windows that opened to the outside. The kitchen had plenty of utensils and having laundry in unit was great. The size of the room was excellent. Only downside was that the climate control was not working. Fortunately due to the cool overnights, this was not an issue but it did get warm during the day.

The room was spacious and well set out, if in a little in need of TLC. The problem was that they was no air conditioning. The building is multi-storied with large windows allowing the sun to really heat the room. When i questioned reception regarding the lack of aircon, the advised that it hasn't worked for 2 years. They also hastened to say that this was clearly shown on their website. Ofcourse it isn't, nor on Expedia nor on any communication. In October it was difficult to sleep in the heat, i would hate to try in summer. I can't understand how they can charge these rates with a basic amenity missing.

Tthe room smelt like something has burnt on arrival. Found out it was coming from the microwave and it wasnt working neither was the bed lamp. The internet reception wasnt the best and made it difficult to watch a movie glad i had my computer. The heating was difficult to get below 30 degrees. The bed was indented on one side and was fairly uncomfortable. When i informed recept was told maintanence was back the next day but i was out at conference so unsure if it got fixed. The hallway was not vacummed in the two days i was there and it needed it. Otherwise it was ok but for the cost i would have expected a bit more attention to detail.

Air conditioning was broken and noisy. Room was very warm. I called reception to seek help only to be told the air con is broken in all rooms. Would have been nice to be told that on check-in so I knew to turn it off earlier. Fortunately weather outside was pleasant so just left the balcony door open slightly to cool the room down.

Room and building was aa expected for the price I paid. Room wasn’t clean. Hair on the sink and dirty sheets was a surprise. Nice bathtub tho. Parking was not ideal as I was given a car park number right at the end of the bottom floor just to find out the number doesn’t exist. I was given parking #41 and the numbers stopped at 40. Upon going back up to check with reception, they gave me instructions on where #41 was - it was in a car park marked as #15. Other than that, it was a nice stay.

There was no air-conditioning in my room. The temperature was 28 degrees in my room. I reported it and the front desk advised me to open my door. There were no air-conditioned rooms available. I opened the patio door and was bitten by mosquitoes. When I returned for my second stay 5 days after my first stay, I was given different room, but it also had no air-conditioning. There was a fan, but it did not help. Air-conditioning should be a priority repair. I booked this apartment hotel because I needed to do laundry after a long cruise.

The AC wasn’t working. Too hot in my room, in the penthouse. I asked to be transferred to another room but the whole building AC system was down. They gave us 1st night stay free but we suffered the whole night too hot only fan running. Unsafe to leave the window open all night, afraid someone might climb up the balcony & window. We were walking across the street, two men following us. We went inside the small store market, there were two policemen there, I asked is it safe to walk in this area? He said, “No! It is not safe in the side of the street”. Poor people building apartment I think few building across the street, I heard yelling and kinda noisy.

We were not informed at check-in that the AC was not working in any of the guest rooms. After we went back to the desk to complain we were told the two floor fans was the best they could do. The next morning the AC was still not working.

We booked a one bedroom unit with a washer/dryer. The room we got had a washer only. We complained and were moved to a different room. We unlocked the door and that room was already occupied by someone else.

After about an hour and a half of waiting and complaining, we were finally moved to a room (smaller than what we had booked) with a w/d combo.

If I could give this hotel a zero I would. We stayed in the deluxe spa for 2 nights. Paid extra for the spa and balcony for what??. Extra for a dirty spa/shower that had mould, the toilet couldn’t flush and we had to call someone to come to fix it and they “did” with a temporary fix. They told us we had to “adjust” it ourselves every time we used it. The balcony had bird poo everywhere and on the rails, so we never went out there. Aircon didn’t work so they had 2 cheap fans when we arrived “for when it got hot” (and it was). We were never informed about a bond fee until check in and had to pay another $200 after paying full price weeks prior. They waved the fee for us to park in their parking and be warned the car parks are so so tight, every time we turned it was a struggle and we were in a mini Suzuki. We could tell other people had hit many many walls and polls because of the scrapes. The public pool and spa downstairs are so chipped, faded, old and dirty, it was disgusting. Everything to the chairs, beds, pool beds, cushions and floor carpets had old stains and the tiles looked like they need major grout scraping, we wore shoes inside at all times, including the shower. Waste of money and it was disgusting and if you stay here, DO NOT use their provided shampoo, conditioner or body wash! It broke my skin out and made my hair matted and dry. Disgusting and overpriced, super poor quality. The pictures DO NOT reflect
