Top Hillcrest Hotel Reviews

ibis budget Auckland Airport

8/10 Good

"Very handy to airport clean and tidy bonus 24/7 shuttle bus to airport will definitely stay there again 👍"

Rydges Auckland

8/10 Good

"The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a great location. Close to Queen Street, skytower the waterfront. Our room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The shower could do with a little more water pressure and there were a few broken tiles that need replacing but other than that thr room was great. We had dinner amd breakfast at the restaurant and both were very tasty and enjoyable."

The Grand by SkyCity

10/10 Excellent

"This is a hotel with the perfect location for visiting Auckland, central and close to many attractions. The SKY Tower was outside of our window and across the street, numerous restaurants and bars walkable from here as well. The bed was comfortable, good water pressure in the shower, and massive bath towels. I had a parcel delivered to the hotel prior to arrival and the staff sorted it for me with no issues. I was also given a late check out when Air NZ changed my flight. Top notch service."
