We stayed in the family room for 2 nights. The beds were unbelieveably hard and one almost unable to be slept on, needless to say we went home very tired. A very steep, tricky and limited carpark but friendly, helpful, obliging staff!

Stayed first night on a recent 14 day road trip around the North Island after arriving from Melbourne. Have stayed in the near city suburb of Parnell at the Quality Inn on a previous trip but this time chose the Parnell Inn as it is on the main road close to restaurants and shops etc. The location is fantastic and...

We booked the standard studio room at this motel and we found it quite small. There is a fridge, kettle and toaster but not a lot of room to make use of them. We did look at an Executive Room as well and this seemed to be a much better size. The motel also has free parking which is very... More

As with any other inner-city hostelry, parking is the biggest challenge here. The small (6 spaces) car park is reached by a very steep, long driveway, it's not possible to see if there are any spaces free until you get down there, and then if it's full, you have to back up or attempt a 32-point turn in a very...

Motel in nice location in the Parnell suburb of Auckland, with lots of places to eat nearby. The motel has a nice coffee shop/light meal place attached. Rooms fine though beggining to need refurbishment. Not high end but OK value for money.

The room was small but clean, tidy and most importantly quiet. This hotel is dated but has a nice cafe attached and is in a very good location, close to all the very good Parnell restaurants. The service was very pleasant and we ended up staying 4 nights. It is very refreshing to find good value for money in Auckland... More

The room was small and quite basic - this was certainly the cheapest/most basic accommodation we had during our NZ road trip. However, it was clean and everything worked - the shower was plenty hot enough if not the most powerful. There is also an adjoining cafe that does food and drinks from early till late There is also free... More

Parnell is kind of Auckland's Chelsea and the Parnell Inn is right at the heart of it. Down town is a good 20 minutes walk, maybe 30. As other reviewers have said, the rooms are simple but clean and adequate and our bed was comfortable. The owners are very nice & helpful. The adjoining cafe (different ownership) is great. We...

Parnell Inn is in a fantastic location just of Parnell High Street. We stayed there on our first night after the long haul flight from the UK. Our room was simple but clean. As it was at the back of the hotel in the basement it was a little dark but on the upside, it meant there was very little... More
