“Handy for attractions”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2012

We stayed here two nights when we first arrived in New Zealand. It was short walk to the harbourside and the main shopping streeta and very close to the SkytowerThe staff were pleasant, especially in the bar with good advice on the local drinks. The lobby/bar had free wifi which was a bonus. The breakfast selection was good, we didn't have dinner in the hotel as we ate one evening in the Skytower (superb) and another down by the harbour -where there is a large choice of venues to suit all pockets.
The room were large and comfortable. The only downside was the building work next door which affected the way in to the hotel - and for which there were apologies

Thank you for your detailed review of the Crowne Plaza Auckland. This has provided some great feedback for us at the hotel to share amongst the team and a valuable resource for the trip advisor community. We are thrilled that you found the room to be comfortable, made the most of the free wifi and enjoyed our convenient CBD location (and of course all the great attractions). It’s not long to go before the construction work is finished and the end product will be more attractive for our guests. Thanks again for taking the time to post your review and we do hope to welcome you back again.

Kind regards,
Guest Experience Manager

“Very convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2012

We only spent one night here, it was our first day in New Zealand after a long flight from Saigon. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is very convenient to to harbor area and the conceirge staff was knowledgeable and went out of their way to insure we went to a nice resturant for dinner, arranged for our rental car to be delivered to the hotel and gave solid advise on what cell phone plan to get when you are staying in New Zealand for 16 days (you do need a cell phone to confirm your next reservations or make reservations as you travel)

this hotel is in the middle of Auckland and very close to and within walking distance of most inner city attractions.The beds are very comfortable with a good selection of pillows.We have used the club facility a couple of times and it is excellent(although you do have to pay extra for a club room)Close to theatres and the water front,good parking onsite

Room Tip: a room facing Albert Street is best

“Not worth the rates they charge”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

We stayed at this hotel for 6 nights, and there were so many issues. Upon arrival, there was all this dust from the renovation going on in the front of the hotel. We checked in after travellling almost 18 hrs! and the front desk was brilliant enough to put us in a room directly by where the renovation and jack hammering started nice and early at 8am! Needless to say, our very first night in Auckland was not a restful one. We asked to be moved. We then had a rental car, which the hotel charges their guests about $24 per night! We were told that the machine to get our parking ticket validating did not work, and that hotel's system was not working properly. We then had issues with card keys to our room and elevators that never seemed to work, and which the front desk couldn't get to work. I would not recommend staying at this hotel. The only positive thing I can say is that the location is great. Very central.

Many thanks for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your insights and they will help us to further improve the experience for our valued guests. We are pleased that you enjoyed our central location which is very convenient for exploring central Auckland.

Please accept our apologies for the disturbance caused by the construction noise. The hotel is working with the building crew for the adjacent site to keep noise to a minimum. If there is any disturbance caused by the noise we do try and relocate guests to quieter rooms as we did following your concerns. We hope that your following nights were more restful.

The hotel works closely with the car parking adjacent to the hotel and discounted parking is available to our guests ($24 for 24 hours parking on week days and $10 on weekends) and understand that the carpark is attending to their ticketing problem.

Thank you again for your feedback and assure you that your concerns have been shared with the leaders of the hotel to ensure that our product and service delivery is constantly improving.

Best regards,
Guest Experience Manager
