Auckland City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place will stay again"

Hotel Grand Chancellor Auckland

8/10 Good

"Very nice place, staff helpful and friendly. Our room was great, comfortable bed and just right for the two of us. We just had an issue with a faulty iron that burnt my husband's outfit, luckily we managed to get a spare one from other family members. On our checkout I raised it with the staff. Other than that we would definitely stay here again."
