My daughter and I stayed at the Econo Lodge Auckland for 2 nights and then for 1 night in April 2013. Our first stay was OK, although the beds are narrow and the outlook a bit grim. The 2nd stay was shocking. We are convinced we were bitten by bed bugs as we were extremely itchy for days after staying... More

I've stayed here a long time ago and I read the recent reviews here also so I had a pretty good idea what to expect. I was staying alone this time so I went for the smallest most basic room and got a reasonably good deal through a local hotel discount site. As expected, everything small, bed fairly old, traffic...

I stayed here for a weekend in March at the cost of £129 for 3 nights and it was money well spent. The hotel is in a central location less than 5 minutes walk from Sky Tower and under 15 minutes walk to the water front. My room was well equipped with tea/coffee making facilities, tv, hair dryer etc. the... More

I booked this hotel for 3 nights in end March and came out very impressed. The best part is the location. Just 50 meters from Sky City. All eateries and shops were walking distance. We had booked a corporate room which had more than adequate space, big bathroom, fridge, writing desk, 2 sofa chairs and an ironing table.. Check-in and... More

This hotel was booked for me by our companies travel agent as my preferred options were not available. The room rate for it's location is very fair but would only recommend it if you were only intending to use the room to sleep! There was no room to sit back and relax. One very small room.

Stayed at this hotel for four nights in March 2013. It is central in Auckland city and is one of the lowest priced true hotels in town when booked online, however the reason for that is obviously the tiny rooms and basic fit-out. If other hotels would split their rooms in three or four they could probably ask similar lower... More

I booked this hotel last minute due to a work trip where the original accommodation didn't work out. There were very few choices by that time, so it was either $450 a night or a backpackers - or here. The location was perfect for central city working at unsociable hours, being very close to shops, Sky City and eateries. The... More

Stayed here just before Christmas for one night in the Balcony King Room. The room had everything you needed - air conditioning (forgot how humid Auckland is..) a fridge to keep drinks cool, an AMAZING shower (higher the pressure the better), and a balcony over looking Albert Street and SkyCity. Location wise, can't be faulted. Within 5-10 minutes walk of... More
