Had a great stay at the Holiday Inn Express Auckland. The location was perfect — right in the city centre, within walking distance to great cafes, shops. The room was okay and surprisingly quiet for a central spot. The complimentary breakfast was simple but fresh. Only downside was the limited parking options nearby. Ideal for a short city stay.

“We had a wonderful stay. The hotel staff was friendly and communicated clearly and quickly about roadworks around the hotel. They answered my questions promptly before we arrived regarding parking. It’s a great location, near to shopping and food.”

“Breakfast was great, staff were friendly and helpful and even gave my daughter a birthday gift on arrival. Location is perfect for cbd and the sky tower. I didn’t like the bathroom/shower but that is personal preference and the parking is extremely expensive offsite at $59 for the hours of 2pm-10am. ”
