The hotel offers quality rooms with strict parking policies, but the location is convenient for exploring downtown Auckland. Service levels vary from unhelpful to exceptional, making for a mixed experience. Dining options are good, but the view from some rooms might not be ideal.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was clean and adequate for our needs, but there were marks on the walls and the window shades were barely hanging on. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, allowing us some extra time to check out. The location was convenient for walking to CBD, Newtown, and the Auckland Museum, but parking was a bit tight for our hire car. The dining options were below average for the price we paid, so we opted to make our own meals. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel had rooms that needed a bit of furniture replacement but overall was well-equipped, including a washing machine and dryer. The layout was nice with well-separated bedrooms and clear TV channels. The staff were helpful and accommodating, creating a great atmosphere with their smiles. However, their parking advice could be improved. The location, while safe and near the university, could be tricky for those arriving by rental vehicle due to limited stopping places on a steep hill. The dining experience was above average though not the best value for money. Overall, a roomy and comfortable stay in Grafton Auckland.

I stayed at this hotel located just around the corner from the top end of busy Queen Street, which was convenient for shopping and dining options. The stay was marred by noise issues leading to sleepless nights, but the room was well-equipped with everything I needed, including a washing machine and dishwasher. The lack of daily room service was understandable for an apartment setup.

The location is great for shopping and dining options, although some room upkeep issues were noted. Service was average with some inconveniences reported, but the price was reasonable.

The hotel offers big and cozy rooms, which are nice and warm in winter, but the view of the cemetery can be off-putting. Getting ready might be a challenge with more than one person in the room. The service was friendly and accommodating, although a bit slow at times. The central location is great for walking around the CBD and reaching the city center easily. The dining experience was basic but adequate, and the lack of a worktop in the kitchenette could be improved.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was somewhat uncomfortable due to the warmer weather, but it was well-equipped with quality items. The service was reasonably friendly, although compared to other places in Auckland, it stood out for its flexibility and welcoming attitude. While the location was okay and close to downtown Auckland, it was a bit noisy. The dining options were very basic, available late on weekends but with a surprisingly good selection. Overall, the hotel offers a decent value for money deal with its facilities and services.
