A good visit

Liked: The decor the jazz the style
Disliked: No net curtains

A fantastic place to stay...

Liked: This hotel gets everything right: great shower, great bed, comfortable room (we had a free upgrade), a lovely atmosphere, fantastic breakfast, and highly attentive and nice staff. The bar/restaurant area is beautiful, with everything a little retro styled. The hotel is furthermore located in a very pretty central area of Auckland, within walking distance of the waterfront and central shopping areas.
Disliked: Windows can't open due to double glass isolation.

Thoroughly enjoyed the hotel and...

Liked: Lovely boutique hotel in central location. Were upgraded to a Loft room so plenty of space although stairs to bedroom area if mobility is an issue. Comfortable bed and pillows, large bathroom and living area was also spacious. Great breakfast choices and staff were very helpful and friendly. Recommend if you enjoy hotels with lots of character and charm.
Disliked: Everything was great. Only comment would be that the bedroom in the loft looked straight into office windows across the street so curtains needed to remain closed for privacy but no issue for us. Some minor street noise on Saturday night but the soundproofing is excellent.

Exceptional

Liked: Beautiful hotel, amazing service (reception staff were next level), great location! Highly recommended

Superb

Liked: We missed our flight to arrive in Auckland and had to arrive 1 day later. As we did not have free cancellation, staff was courteous enough to upgrade our rooms to a suite for no charge. The rooms were very beautiful and comfy, chic decor, great location. Staff very helpful for many touristy questions.

Mostly Great

Liked: Very nice and well kept hotel and rooms. Great location & underground parking. The front desk staff were great but the one day we asked for a housekeeper our coffee and other supplies were not replaced.
Disliked: The air conditioner is in the bathroom and if you can’t sleep with bright light due to a bathroom skylight, you will need to close the barn door between the bathroom and bedroom, making the bathroom very cold and the bedroom warm.
