Depending on why you are staying in Auckland, this place can be ok. It's NOT in the CBD, but opposite the rose gardens near to Parnell. If you only need a bed to sleep on and a shower to refresh, it's cheap accomodation. Tour buses do frequent this place, so some nights it can be fully booked. You'll definitely need... More

The wife and i Stayed at 5 different Hotels on our trip to Auckland from Wellington. Yes its an older hotel and sure it gets old just like we do But it still has many things going for it. First of all we found it clean, and good for parking and making a base to explore from. The Rates were... More

This is the second time we have stayed at Kingsgate Parnell and by coincidence also got the same room. Again I found myself longing for a paintbrush to brighten up the interior as it is a little dated, in a bland sort of way and the carpet worn by the door. If you like retro the bathroom is actually a... More

When I read all the negative comments about this hotel I was very reluctant to stay here, but I booked anyway. I was expecting the worse, but to my surprise I didn't find much wrong with the place. I had booked two rooms and these were on the third floor away from the lift. Yes the rooms are out dated,... More

It's called a hotel but it really is an old motel. The room was kept clean although they could have done with new bed covers. The ceiling creaked at night as if someone was walking on the roof. What I did not like the most of this place was the shower head - it was so low that I had... More

This hotel is a short 10 minute walk to the Vector Arena (the reason for booking here). It has free parking which not a lot of Hotels in the CBD have. The rooms as frequently commented on are a bit outdated but very clean and tidy and are a good size, the only down fall is that they are not... More

I have stayed at this hotel 3-4 times in the last 5 years if I plan to have a car. I like the central location, being able to drive up to near your room with the car and also the neighbourhood it is in is very nice. As mentioned by others it is in need of refurbishment and it appears... More

We booked this accomodation online merely for the location. I read the reviews on TripAdvisor first so knew what to expect. The rooms are very dated - however they were very clean. Unfortunately our room had a terrible damp musty smell but we could not do anything about it due to the hotel being full so we would not have... More

We booked this hotel as we were attending a concert at the Vector Arena. It's a fab set up with some of the rooms in a separate block. We had a superior room overlooking the rose gardens with ranch sliders and a small balcony. Although the hotel is a little dated and could do with refurbishment, the rooms were modern,... More
