Was skeptical at first about staying here; as I thought it may still need upgrading; however once I looked at their great website (very user-friendly) I was assured that a full upgrade had been done and the brand had had a revamp. On arrival; the staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful; without being too intrusive. The room we had was... More

We recently stayed at Rydges Auckland for three nights as a long weekend away. The hotel was excellent value and provided everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Our room on the 14th floor had a view over the harbour, across to the bridge and was a good size. The only negative could be in the design of the bathroom... More

The shower was big and the water pressure good. Plenty of power plugs in the room for phone charges etc. Lighting provided... More

We stayed here over New Years and then again at the end of our holiday! The service was great and we had views looking out over the water and the bridge! Its great proximity to the casino makes it easy to walk there for dinner or a climb up the tower! It is about a 15 minute walk to the... More

We spent a night in this place. The rooms are modern and very high quality. We did not have booking but were privided a room, with a smile. Friendly staff, good location. An average place, good value for money. Luckily our room was in front of the Skyline tower, the view was worth it. Recommended to all.
