Overall experience was okay. Bed comfortable and room warm. Pretty quiet too.
Room quite old though and bathroom mouldy in places. Could do with a thorough cleaning. Towels thin and needing renewal. Bathroom renovation required.
Staff try hardbut lots of room weren’t available at check in time. At breakfast a staff member leant across me while eating and removed the butter/spread container!! Quite rude!
I wouldn’t stay there by choice
Great hotel in a quiet setting. Rooms were clean and plenty of space. Staff well informed and friendly
I have stayed in the Amora in Sydney which is lovely, this place feels more like a travel lodge. It is budget. They only have two lifts and one was being renovated. There was no safe, and the bathroom was old with mould and rotting timber. The kitchen and washing machine were handy, but the place was very noisy as you can hear the road noise and people talking outside your room. In the middle of the night our toilet started running and never stopped. The noise was so loud I couldn’t sleep. Location is ok, many better places to stay.
We were in Auckland for Auckland University graduation day, and this hotel was very handy to Aotea Centre where the ceremony took place. We left our car in the rather tight car park under the hotel and walked the whole day up to the University and back.
We had dinner at the Grill, which was excellent- good food and service.
The room was a good size, comfortable and clean. Our only issue being it wasn't serviced until 4:30pm and they had run out of clean towels. ( but this was rectified by reception straight away with towels fresh from the dryer).
Room was tidy if basic. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Shower decided to leak all over the bathroom floor which wasn't ideal. Otherwise a decent stay.
A nice hotel, though staff were hard to find. The only staff that i can see around were the waiting staff at the breakfast restaurant.
If you work around greys avenue, you can rent a car park in the hotel.
Rooms are practical and clean however we had a flat battery in the door which caused us constant problems with our room access cards. We had booked in for 4 guests but every day 2 towels were allocated so we had to constantly ask for more, bathroom door didn't lock and house keeping left their cleaning products in our room. Nothing was noted in the hotel system leaving us the customers to deal with the duty manager who offered a pathetic discount!
easy parking very nice hotel with nice restaurant. the rooms are huge and come with comfy beds and nice pillows. sitting area in room and mini kitchen with washing machine (bonus) but no dryer. free wifi and best views of Aucklands central tower just outside (if on that side of building) friendly reception and affordable rates. Yes Recommend.
Check in was fast. Parking available at a cost for guests. Room was nice and spacious with all amenities. The staff was courteous and helpful.
One night we were last for dinner and the restaurant was closing but they made sure we had a comfortable hot meal.
The place is walking distance from the main shopping area and if you don't mind walking a bit more then the waterfront isn't far too.
Would definitely recommend this place.
It is a nice hotel, however they push two single beds together and put the sheets over them, to make look like a bigger bed. The staff were nice. I may not go back.
Nice room with safe and all. Sadly their hot-pool was really cold.. probably recently refilled but with no sign. The pool was alright, bit cold and small but better than none! Staff was ok, not as friendly and helpful as you might hope sadly!
Quite good view, none of the ocean thou!
Very nice hotel. Next to a park. On a quiet area. Great location. Breakfast buffet is excellent.
The Amora was my first stay in Auckland, and what a way to begin with a view of Sky Tower and the city (even if there's a few buildings between here and there that aren't the most sightly). We were able to get a corner room with that tiny triangle balcony, but was great for sights nonetheless. With this downstairs kitchen and living room followed by the upstairs bed loft and bathroom, there was more than enough space for the two of us, but also plenty when we had some friends over for a glass of Prosecco. As my current relationship was founded on our first stay here, we're even thinking about making it an annual tribute to come back and get our old room.
We stayed on the 9th floor. Had a nice room, nice view. The only complaint was that the 'king' bed was two twins put together, so you couldn't really sleep in the middle of the bed. I'd come back though!
