We were traveling for 3+ weeks in NZ and Australia and this was our first stop of 6 different great hotels on the trip. It stood up as the best hotel of the trip and was one of the coolest places I have stayed at. Start with the awesome room: modern decor and furniture, great bed, bright colors and plush... More

We live in Auckland and try to have the occasional weekend away in our own city to relax and go out for dinner, do a bit of shopping. DeBretts has been a classic iconic building and venue for as long as we can remember. So we decided to stay there this weekend and see for ourselves the fabulous restoration and... More

We're Aucklanders, but went to stay for a night away from our young one. I'd previously been into the House Bar, which is a good little escape from the central city streets for a drink or cocktail in stylish surrounds. We were immediately impressed with our room, it was clean, minimalist, but with everything you could need for an enjoyable... More

The Hotel DeBrett was a great find. The mid-century decor is fun and fresh. The beds were really comfortable. The staff members in reception were always helpful and attentive. The restaurant was fabulous. We enjoyed breakfast there each morning and dined there one night. The menu was fresh and innovative. We were pleasantly surprised that they even had a children's...

While the restaurant is wonderful with good service, the rooms are tired and dark. Not only that, the furniture and light fixtures in the room were either chipped, broken or soiled. When asked if I could change rooms to another I had previously stayed in, I was told I was in the best room (!). No idea I was a... More

We arrived at 5AM and the reception guy was very gentle with us, took us to our room and offered coffee and tea. We took a nap and went to the breakfast, but were a little disappointed. Considering a $350 NZD boutique hotel, the breakfast could be better than just bread, butter and cereal. The facilities were great, very quiet... More

I'm not a huge fan of Auckland and normally try to minimize my there, but the DeBrett makes staying in Auckland a pleasure. I stayed at the DeBrett 12 years ago when it was a backpackers, so it's thrilling to see it reborn as a luxury boutique hotel. -Sleep The beds are amazingly comfortable, beyond Four Seasons or Westin, and...

Thought I would give this place a try after all the excellent reviews and booked an O'Connell suite. I arrived late in the evening on a Friday and the surrounding streets are filled with young people hitting the bars and clubs on Queen St. Was warmly welcomed (I recommend the hotel car pick up too in a lovely 7 series...
