    Decidedly disappointing.
    While this was just an overnight stay, unfortunately our experience was less than ideal. Upon booking the property, our two requests were to be put on a higher floor and away from the lifts, and we were put on the first floor next to the lifts, so really not a great start. The…

    Needs new beds
    VR apartment hotel is like a budget airline that tries to offer a full-service flight and does a half-baked job. As a result, it’s not completely horrid but also barely satisfactory. Between the three of us, a two-bedroom apartment set us back just $60 per night per person. This…

    The hotel says it has a shuttle bus! Does it pickup travellers from airport or does it just shuttle guests around the city area? The cost of it picks up guests from Auckland airport!
    Hi TripUSA08, Greetings from VR Auckland City. We can arrange private transports from between hotel to the airport. The price will be depending on the number of passengers or luggage. Please feel free to contact us directly for detailed information. You can reach us on +64 (0) 9-337-5800, or email us. Other alternative options are Skybus and Super-shuttle. Skybus will cost around NZD$17-19 per person and you can drop off at the stop under Skytower, with another 5-10 mins walk along Hobson Street you should be able to reach our hotel. Super-Shuttle is also a convenient and popular way which you can find at the airport and we are more than happy to help you make the reservation for the return trip. Best regards Jim Xiao Shift Manager

    Is the VR Auckland city within walking distance to cruise terminal? Thanks in anticipation of a reply
    Dear Ms Burnie, We apologize for the delay. It is approximately 1.4 km away from us. Follow the Hobson Street in front of us about 15 mins walk you should be able to reach the Wharf. Or we can call a taxi for you which would only takes 5 mins. Please feel free to contact us for any further questions. Best regards Jim Shift Manager

    I'm looking for a reasonably priced hotel that has a view of the Skytower for New Years eve. We'll just be getting disembarking from a cruise and fly out on 1 January 2018, so we want to be close to the fireworks. Has anyone stayed here for New Year's Eve and been able to see the fireworks?
    Hi, Have read many reviews that mention a free breakfast but haven't read this in my booking. Can I clarify that is for all guests and what you actually receive ? Thanks :)
    Dear sharpette, Greetings from VR Auckland City. Unfortunately there is no onsite restaurant available in the building. However, in order to ensure all our valued guest would have a fresh start in the morning, we offer a complimentary continental breakfast to all of our guest every day in the evening for the next morning. Between 6pm-8pm, our housekeeping team will deliver a breakfast package including toasts, jam&butter, muesli, milk, juices and cookies to your room for the next morning. Thank you Best regards Jim Shift Manager
