We were meeting up with friends who were flying into Auckland for one night and decided to spoil ourselves with dinner at Orbit restaurant and to make the most of our time together, decided to stay overnight in the city as well. We planned to stay at Sky City Hotel for convenience, but they were fully booked so we tried... more

Stayed at Skycity Grand for the night of our wedding. We had booked a package that gave us free valet parking and 2x free buffet Breakfasts (@ $37.00 each). We were not offered any upgrade upon arrival however one of our friends cheekily asked for an upgrade on our behalf. We were upgraded to a harbor view room as they... more

We arrived at the hotel at 1.15am after a late night flight. On checking in we were given a King Harbour View Room. I mentioned to the gentlemen on reception that we had booked a Twin room and that my 17 year old son had no desire to share a bed with his mother. He quickly addressed the situation and... more

We stayed for two nights (leaving the kids with their grandmother) and drove just over the harbour bridge for some time out. I booked online and the second night being a Sunday was quite a low price, and the deal included breakfast. We had a drink in the very attractive comfortable bar before dinner at Dine, which was delicious. The... more

My husband and I found some cheap airfares to NZ so decided to go to Auckland for a long weekend. We chose the Sky City Grand because it was five star and great value for money at $A195 per night for a city view, including valet parking and full buffet breakfast. The staff were all very welcoming, the check-in smooth... more

We stayed here on our wedding night and were upgraded to the Executive suite! Couldn't rave enough about this room. Massive, comfortable, clean, convenient and luxurious. Despite being quite central, the rooms are perfectly quiet. We were on the side facing the street, but saw the view from one of the suites facing the harbour and it was breathtaking. I... more

Nice hotel centrally located in the city. Room was very spacious with modern furnishings and very large bathroom. Easy walk to the harbour and shopping. We had a stunning view of the harbour from our room. After a tiring day we didn’t walk to go far and made the mistake of dining at the casino’s buffet restaurant which happened to... more

My husband and I had booked a city view room for our 2 night stay and were pleasantly surprised that the hotel upgraded us to a harbour view room on the highest floor (21st) as we told them that we were celebrating our honeymoon. The hotel is right in the centre of town, a short walk to the harbour and... more

I stayed 2 nights in this hotel in March 2009 as part of a package tour of New Zealand and Australia, so cannot comment on the room cost but can make observations on the facilities etc and compare it to all the other 'same-standard' 3* or so hotels I stayed in. The hotel is a very smart and large high-rise... more
