The room was small but worked for what we needed it for. Which was a three day trip in Auckland. The second night we were there we came back to our room from dinner and fell asleep. We woke up a few hours later to the smell of cigarette smoke. It was disgusting and kept us both up on and... More

We agree that it's not at all enjoyable to be disturbed by cigarette smoke. Equally, it's very frustrating for us when our guests are upset by events largely beyond our control. We are a non smoking hotel but there are times when other people are so inconsiderate and follow the rules. More

I was here last year on November for a short holiday. I booked this hotel because of the price and the location. The price is affordable and the location is very strategic everything is accessible on foot. I met four of the staff,the guy who check me in was so friendly and the girl that I met in the night...

The Kiwi Hotel is an older building and is showing its age a bit. However, it is clean and cheaper than other hotels and in a good location on upper Queen Street. (There is a different hotel with the same name near the airport). The airport shuttle bus stops a couple of blocks from the hotel. You can walk from... More

If you book directly with them you get free breakfast and limited Internet. The hotel is located about 30 mins from the ferry terminal in a quiet area and has a policy that if you disrupt fellow guests you get one warning then you get kicked out. The rooms itself was small but quiet and comfortable. the bed was nice... More

Handy location for transport if you're flying in - get yourself an Airbus return trip for $28 per person from the airport - it stops and leaves from right outside the door. The hotel is clean, the staff are nice, and it's really good value if you don't mind not having a fridge in your room or more than one... More

My wife and I planned to stay in Auckland for only one night, so the hotel suits us well and gave us all basic service. It's quiet and comfortable, all the rooms a inside the hotel and near the lawn. And the staff are friendly. The price is good.

Very basic but comfortable hotel. They have single rooms which is unusual. Staff all extremely helpful. Lady on tourist desk in lobby was briliant. They cater for backpackers and travellers. Very central, bus from airport stops outside the door.

Thank you for your review. We're glad it suited your purpose. Yes - it is unusal to have single rooms and they are very popular with independent travellers on their own who want a private room without the extra expense paying for a twin. More

This is a backpacker hotel with an excellent location for the price you pay. Added bonus is free parking. Very friendly check-in staff. Breakfast selection not the best but hey - its a backpacker and you survive well enough. Some finesse regarding room bathroom cleaning could be good (but was very minor).
