Lovely staff. Walkable. Central.
Chieh-Hsin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Checking in was a bit difficult as you have to do it at the restaurant that is attached. This might be because it is the off season or because there are only a handful of rooms.

Nice hotel, slightly outdated facilities but at the same time characteristic. Very nice staff and the combination of hotel with restaurant and pub is nice if you don't mind the noise.

8/10 Very good

Great location and an iconic building
Garth, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

It was horribly dirty, like no one even vacuumed the floor in years. Beds were uncomfortable and broken, very cold, bright from the street lights and noise at night. Horrible experience!

Kool location
Matt, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Loved the old building, but my room was on top floor and there was no lift, and there were no extra blankets provided so I was cold and there was a leaking cistern somewhere
Jacqui, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location in Auckland CBD

Nice hotel above a brew pub so can get a bit noisy at night but not too bad. The building is historic so no elevator but the staff helped me with my bags. Many things within walking distance.

Beautiful place a little old fashioned but worth the price 100 percent
Paul, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I should have booked another hotel. They didn't clean my room even once during my five day stay. How terrible!
ikumi, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This historic tavern is well-preserved and well run. My partner & I stayed in-house but had our meals in the bar downstairs and enjoyed the boutique beer/cider. The atmosphere is relaxing & the meals well-presented and very enjoyable. The staff were very welcoming and helpful with any enquiries. The ladies toilet was the only disappointment: it is in dire need of a makeover as it was pretty old, messy & needing some repairs in the walls, etc.
