Let's begin with location. Yes, the hotel is in down town Auckland and conveniently located but hotel fails to mention that they're in the darkest, coldest alley in the entire city. Sunlight has never touched the building and even with open windows, it produces instant depression. The internet scheme for wifi in the rooms is a rip-off which forces you... More

I have stayed at Citylife with family on more than one occasion but will not stay again. There are good points; the apartments are central to Auckland restaurants and nightspots. Therein lays one of the problems. Soundproofing is poor so the rooms (staying on the 8th floor) are noisy, the sound of revellers not abating till around 3 am. Generally... More

We spent 3 wonderful nights at this Hotel The service and food were 1st Class. Tip: When booking look at the hotel website for specials including breakfast. In our case it was cheaper than using the internet hotel room booking websites

When in Auckland we stay here with grandparents and kids - staff are always more than accommodating are very polite and friendly. They also have a great knowledge of sites to see, eating out places and local transport. The pool is great for the kids - love the free parking. Rooms are spacious (for a hotel), clean and comfortable.

This is a high quality hotel in a great location. Right on the main street of downtown Auckland, but set back from the street and well insulated for noise, so it's nice and quiet. The lobby is located at the back of the property too, so you don't get that busy public thoroughfare feeling that some hotels have. The rooms... More

This proved a good choice; central to the city, so walking distance to waterfront and ferries, railway station, arts centre, art museum and shops. The room was quiet, smart and comfortable, service efficient and helpful, and breakfast good (slow toaster apart). Central Auckland is perhaps not the most exciting location in the Pacific but on a budget below that of... More
