Pullman Auckland Airport

1. Location: Very close to the international airport—just a 5-minute walk. However, it's a bit further from the domestic terminal, taking about a 15-minute walk, though you can take a shuttle bus. 2. The room was quite spacious with a clean, minimalist design. Most minibar items come with a charge, but bottled water and milk are complimentary. 3. The buffet breakfast is served on the 9th floor with a wide variety of options. The view alone makes it totally worth it. 4. There is a lounge area next to the lobby, which is great for resting if you have a late-night or early-morning flight.

Almost all the hotel staff are Indian. From check-in onwards, their attitude was extremely poor. They asked for a NZD 100 deposit and actually copied down the credit card number and expiry date manually by hand. When I asked if I could just tap the card, the staff member was very impatient and said tapping still requires the card number anyway. We were also assigned a room right at the end of the corridor. In the room, under the guise of being eco-friendly, they provide cotton pads, shower caps, and even disposable shoe shine mitts, yet the two things travelers actually need most—toothbrushes and slippers—have to be picked up yourself. I called the front desk, and they said they would contact housekeeping, but no one answered the housekeeping phone, so I had to walk down and get them myself. In the morning, the breakfast restaurant was also understaffed. By comparison, the neighbouring Novotel is closer to the airport and seems like a much better choice.

Very close to the international terminal of the airport, but for domestic flights, you need to take a shuttle bus. When we arrived, we were greeted right away by the doorman as soon as we got out of the car. He was extremely warm and proactive—thumbs up. However, when we wanted to check in at the front desk, we had to wait for a very long time. There was only one staff member on duty, and they were caught up assisting a single guest the entire time. We ended up having to use the self-service check-in kiosk instead. We originally wanted to ask a few questions along the way, but that never happened.

The hotel is right across from the airport, the facilities are clean and tidy, and the front desk staff are very polite. It's definitely worth staying again.

Pullman Auckland Airport was supposed to be one of the more upscale hotels in my itinerary. After all, it's a global chain, but honestly, I was quite disappointed. The hardware was decent, but seriously, what's with the water pressure? Even a small motel in Australia, or anywhere abroad for that matter, has better water pressure than this place. It felt a bit like staying in a B&B in China. Plus, it has no parking, and they charge 60 NZD a day for parking. Is that price for real? Anyway, this hotel isn't great. If I ever come back, I'll definitely book the Novotel next door; it's even a few steps closer.

1. The hotel is incredibly close to Auckland International Terminal, literally right outside the door, a maximum 2-minute walk. It's a bit further to the domestic terminal, about a 15-minute walk. 2. The room is quite spacious and relatively new, with USB charging ports, which is very convenient. The shower pressure is just average, but there's no issue with hot water. 3. A full range of amenities is provided, including body lotion, which is a big plus.

This hotel is super conveniently located, within walking distance of the airport! The premium king room was spacious, clean, and the bed was so comfortable, allowing me to fully relax after a long journey. The staff were friendly and professional. It's the perfect choice for layovers or early/late flights. Highly recommended!

The hotel is conveniently located right by the airport terminal. The room was spacious and I loved having a separate toilet and shower! We chose an airport hotel because we had plenty of time on our return day. We added breakfast, and if you're not expecting anything fancy, you won't be disappointed (haha).

The hotel is excellent and very smart. The amenities are great, and the food is delicious, especially the buffet. Breakfast was also very good.
