Top hotels in Parnell
Auckland Rose Park Hotel
The room had been renovated/refurbished and was lovely. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were generally very helpful. I haven't tried the restaurant. For a good value, comfortable place to stay in Auckland Rose Park Hotel is a positive choice.

The Parnell Hotel & Conference Centre
This time we stayed in the smaller studio unit without a balcony and were pleased to find it was well equipped with a good sized kitchenette, nice bathroom with toiletries and an extremely comfortable large bed.

La Quinta by Wyndham Parnell Auckland
The room was clean, however, the room was very very tight and looked out onto a public balcony for the floor. So, it was a little unfortunate of a view, and we had to keep our blinds shut at all times. But, for a short stay was not bad.
