I booked this hotel as I thought it would be a rather nice end to our trip round N.Z. We had already stayed at the sister hotel the Sky City for one night at the begining of our trip. We were quite disappointed, not with the room that was very comfortable, and the view was good as we booked a... more

The bad thing about this hotel is the internet connection, SO expensive. The rest everytthing okey, nice rooms and good views of the city more

We booked to stay at the SkyCity Grand as a treat nearing the end of a 4 week trip around NZ in our camper van. We'd been in touch with the hotel several times before the trip to check we could take our van - recpetion were a bit hit and miss about responding but eventually it appeared to be... more

We stayed here for four nights and overall it was a very postive experience. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was modern, clean and surprisingy quiet. I'm not sure it deserves all it's stars but we would certainly stay there again. The location was also very good, right beside the Sky Tower and close to shopping and... more

I think what I liked best about this hotel is that for a "casino" hotel, there's no need to have any contact with the casino itself. It's in an entirely seperate building across the road. I stayed in a luxury Harbour View room for a Wotif rate of $215NZD. Considering I'm now at a much lower-rent Quest apartment in Hamilton... more

Good location for city centre and shopping We had room 1211 which had great views of the sky tower (see photo below) even though we nearly had a heart attack when we saw someone falling from it doing a bungy jump! Rooms were very well decorated and comfortable Expensive for what it is. We ate at the Tapas restaurant across... more

The hotel's location was excellent - walking distance to the busy area in downtown. The room was really nice, large, very clean with a nice, modern decor. Parking was a little expensive, as well as breakfast. more

I stayed two nights at this hotel at the beginning of November, 2009. It has a great location and is right next to the casino and is a $30 (NZ) ride on the shuttle from the airport. There is also a Sky City Hotel without the Grand in it which I understand is bit lower in quality. The hotel is... more

A solid choice for downtown Auckland if you're looking for a "full-service" hotel. Not sure that it is a 5-star (not on par with Ritz, Four Seasons, Fairmont), but it had the feel of some very good 4-star Asian hotels where I've stayed. Rooms were clean and well-decorated. Location downtown is very good, easy walking distance to the Viaduct, Queen... more
