location was good for us. staff welcoming. two couples, so the double ensuite was great. we couldnt get the wifi - but as it was only one night its wasnt an issue. any longer and we would of asked for help. (luv the jetplanes at reception). wish we had enough time to dine at the restaurant - the menu looks mouthwatering. I love the artwork and the "moodiness" vibe of the Hotel.

we got a ticket to park at Wilsons, but when we returned from dinner - after 10pm, they were closed. We parked on street, which was fine. Nothing to do with your Hotel, but if you've paid $35 for 24hr pass, we should be able to enter anytime in that timeframe.

I was upgraded from a studio to a one bedroom when I arrived, which was appreciated! The room was very small and just perfect for a city stay. The shower was large, the water pressure average but hot. The decor was very dark all over, looks quite classy in the daylight but a bit depressing at night. A dim night light would be great. Blackout curtains were awesome for sleeping in and the bed was firm. Everything was clean and new. Multiple power points make charging every device easy. No problems with WiFi and worked and gamed without lag.

A light over the eating area would be helpful, as the main lights are too dim to reach there adequately. The microwave should be placed down lower for safety reasons. A kitchen cupboard door hits the front door handle and the bedroom cupboard door hits the lights. Annoying, but not restrictive! A spare blanket would not have gone amiss and there's no landline to call down to reception. The smart TV was slow and not worth setting up streaming accounts as it requires a Google log in to update.

I've stayed here a few times now, and I love the common spaces. They are fantastic and I always use them, either the garden bar or the library. Great if you are meeting people too. This time I stayed in a 1-bdr apartment (rm 1012), which was very convenient and functional. Much better layout than the little lux studios, not just the extra space but the way it was organised. The view to the city was awesome and I enjoyed looking down on the goings on at K Rd. p.s. book ahead for the spa, I didn't and missed out.

Took a few stays to put my finger on it but the energy feels unbalanced - too much male energy, not enough female. Manifests itself in various ways - the overwhelming dark colour scheme in the rooms with not one cushion to be seen, the lack of anywhere to hang long dresses (it would be so easy to put a nice hook or two high up on the wall), the ever so slightly pervy art work of a Polynesian woman in various states of half undress. I get the references to K Rd but honestly, this could be better, does not work with the high end lodge aspirations at all.

The hotel was very central with 2 min access to K road and Ponsonby Rd giving access to great restaurants. The hotel itself was renovated and looked new. The room was suitable for my needs and provided tea and coffee.

The TV didn't work - well I couldn't get any channels as there was no aerial attached. There were APPS on the TV however as I 'm not a streamer with any accounts it meant only YouTube was available and with the intermittent Wi-Fi this was problematic. However, I only found this out in the evening after returning home from dinner so it didn't effect me so much, I just think hotels should check these things regularly.

Pleasant stay and I would happily choose this hotel again. Kindly upgraded which was a welcoming surprise after a long trip. Good location, 15-20 mins walk into town. Numerous eateries and shops close by. Quiet as room facing graveyard. However, a few guests noisy on return to room/soundproofing where able to hear next room easily alongside a man outside cutting trees VERY early most mornings! Washing machine & dryer free of charge - vital necessity! Netflix on TV -a huge plus to fight off the jetlag! Beautiful library to relax in (sadly only realised on final day). A special mention to lady on housekeeping team (unsure of name) - very kind & helpful particuarly on checkout with many bags! Gentleman on checkout kind also. Be mindful of bed edges as room is cosy. I ended up with a bruise or two! Did not try breakfast and unaware of additional cost Spa within - fee for use of sauna and jacuzzi. I was not expecting this as it tend to be within hotel stay. No saucepans in kitchen but likely can request such No phone in room

Impeccable , Very friendly staff, Extremely clean, All facilities available that is spa, gym, laundry, studio, restaurant, private space, lounge. walking distance from city centre. Every single day, friendly staff asked if room is ok and if anything is required. In terms of room, it had kettle, coffee, milk, iron, dryer, toilet amenities. Overall, very clean, safe, peaceful, all essentials provided, no hidden fee, no add ons, for example laundry was free. Very impressed and very satisfied with my stay.

I will like to clarify it is not that I did not like but it is something as a suggestion to make an already perfect place even better. I would recommend that instead of room service knocking on the door every day, it can be some sort of sign which guest can leave on the door handle to inform room service if it is required. it can help with people on holiday who go to bed late and don’t want to be disturbed in their sleep. Just a friendly suggestion. Thank you

Felt much posher than what l paid. The location isn't bad. The walk to the City and Harbour area is 15/20 minutes, which isn't awful at all unless you're in a hurry. The hotel itself is so nice inside that it feels almost out of place for where it is on the edge of the city centre. It's probably a good location for events at the Stadium because you could realistically walk there in.....30/40mins. There are some bars by the High Street area that it's positioned close to, but very few did draught beers - and absolutely none did Guinness....so you do have to head down the hill to the CBD for a proper drink, where there are a couple of good Irish Pubs. l fully appreciate my dismissal of the nearby bars, might just be an English thing, so please don't be put off by the local places. They just weren't my cup of tea. Good Hotel though. Decorated to a good spec and felt like a bargain for what l paid 6 weeks before staying.

Our room at Abstract was a cute little space in a good location but had some slightly awkward bits. They have a complimentary guest laundry, beautiful shared spaces such as the library, winter garden and gym. Because it is so small, there are some spaces that don't work as well as they could. The bathrooms don't give you much room to work with, we almost took someone out opening the door to the laundry and the space in the gym feels full with 3 people in there. Another interesting point is that it doesn't have air conditioning, just a system that pumps in air from outside. There also isn't much sound deadening as we found out when lying in bed listening to someone make a cup of tea in the next room at 1am. The location is great, close to public transport and food and coffee. Miller's coffee roasting is in the alleyway across the road and is worth a visit. The staff were lovely.

Great place to stay in Auckland!! Comfortable and quiet room. It's tiny but perfectly designed so no space is lost. The kitchenette is a big plus if you want to cook a meal or two. The staff is super friendly. Great neighborhood in Auckland, the hotel is perfectly located to explore the city.

The room is tiny. like I wrote above, it wasn't an issue for me, but I was traveling solo and I'm easy about this, but people who look for space might find it a bit too small, especially if they are 2 and have large luggages.

The hotel is well located and easy to access either on public transport or on foot. Our room was very tidy and regularly made up by housekeepers whilst we were out which we greatly appreciated, and was enough for us to relax and lounge about after a day in the city. I can imagine it getting rather hot in peak summer, but we found the fan to be sufficient for keeping the temperature.

We were surprised that WiFi was free only for up to 24hrs. We also found an unhygeinic item from a previous guest under our bed, but thankfully this was as we were leaving.
