Stayed with hubby 2 months ago. Great hotel. Our 1st impression wasn't so good. Had problems at check in (Evan) and we were given dirty room. Spoke to Manager (Gary), he gave us complimentary upgrade to suite (ocean view) he even escorted us to our new room. Later we received very nice box of chocolate and phone call from The... More

My colleague and I had an excellent stay in this hotel, we were looked after by excellent service staff both at reception and in the restaurant / bar which makes all the difference. If we need to return to the shore this is the place to stay!

Top rate location, excellent service, very accommodating and a clean, large room with a view. I was particularly impressed with the service of the staff. They accommodated an early check in after a early flight from Tonga and then arranged transportation for my departure. All with a smile. The suite was large and spacious. I appreciated the washer and dryer... More

We stayed for 3 nights as my daughter was competing in a sports event close by. We travelled from Australia and found the hotel to be of very high standard and great value for money. I completed my reservation from Australia and had some questions that were handled promptly and efficiently, even from overseas. The staff were friendly and I... More

Now out of town in Wanganui, a trip to Auckland is necessary to top up from time to time. We stayed at the Spencer in its early days and it had got a bit tired but the recently refurbished room was tastefully done. My suite on one of the higher floors had an amazing view of the city from Rangitoto... More

I had a chance to experience this hotel for a short break out of the city. It is a lovely place offering very large rooms and easy parking. I booked their 1 bedroom-suite offering great view on Rangitoto and the city - priceless! The rooms/apartments are very well equipped with kitchen facilities however they definitely need to change the very... More

We chose this hotel/apartment because my partner had a conference there. We were initially worried about transport to the city but found it to be very easy to get around. A few hundred meters from the hotel is a bus stop that goes straight to the city (takes about 10-15minutes in light traffic) and comes every 10-15minutes. The bus does... More

We stayed here recently and I would recommend it as a central place to stay. Nice restaurant and bar, excellent location and good size rooms. On the down side - the restaurant service was poor (I told them I was in a hurry and had to go and it still took AGES for a platter of fruit and some toast...... More

Odd shaped rooms. Shower over the bath which i dont like. Lackadaisical service. But cheap and probably the only place to stay on the North Shore. Outrageously priced Internet. This is a common problem in NZ hotels and needs to be sorted.

I stayed on the 18th floor which had 225° of spectacular views from Lake Pupuke south across Auckland city to the Tamaki Strait. Room was excellent with separate bedroom, well-specc'd compact kitchen, dining room and lounge. Despite being able to see everywhere there was a very high level of privacy.
