We arrived at midnight into AKL and arrived in the rain to the hotel near 1am, where we were met by great staff who confirmed the details of our package and quickly checked us in and helped us get our (many!) bags to our rooms. We had an upgrade voucher but no joy in using it due to the hotel... More

Got a GrabOne voucher for Rydges Auckland so stayed there for a Saturday night in January. Hotel is right in city centre so location was perfect, the room seemed clean and staff were really nice. However, I woke up on the Sunday morning covered in red bumps over my legs, arms and belly. I thought it was an allergic reaction... More

I choose this hotel for its very good value paying 2 for 3 deal and for its location, which is very convenient for me to get to places. Arrived on a late flight and check in was smooth with a friendly reception, was given a room with a disabled toilet and the room was changed immediately upon request. The room... More

The location is great, if you want / need to be in the city. Big bed, clean room, valet parking, it's not a resort, it's a hotel in the centre of Auckland. Everything you need for a pretty decent price. More

I recently bought a grabone deal for my parents as recommended and i thought it may be a ice treat for my parents last night in Auckland. The grabone deal was for a Superior room in Rydges. The room was certainly not this, the only attractive thing about the room was the bed everything else was rather tired and dated.... More

I stayed for 4 nights at Rydges Auckland in January 2012. I got a good online deal, so the price was right. The hotel has recently undergone renovations and an extension and I have to assume that my room was in the older section. The fittings and finish of the room were of a good standard - LCD TV, fridge,... More

Room was clean and well-presented, with a nice view of the water. We stayed on NYE, and could see the Sky Tower fireworks from our room! Nice toiletries and a comfortable bed. Room was smaller than expected, but that was ok. Free internet for a few hours per day (get password from reception), which worked in the room too. Hotel... More

We stayed one night and the room was ok, nothing special and certainly not worth what we paid. When our flight the next night was delayed, we checked back in foour hours before our flight. The towels were covered in a filthy, tar like black substance and had holes in them. They were falling apart. We took them to the... More
