Hotels near Queen Street, Auckland

Overall, it is average and the location is quite convenient, near Queen Street. The room is relatively clean, but the kitchen supplies including microwave oven, oven and cooking utensils including frying pans and clay pots are poorly maintained and cannot be used. During the stay (5 days and 4 nights), there was no housekeeping provided, nor instructions on how to change towels, dispose of garbage, or purchase consumables such as toilet paper, garbage bags, etc. When checking in, the hotel staff did not mention the above arrangements. Fortunately, there is no cooking, there is not much garbage, and we have our own garbage bags. In addition, the day before departure, I asked about transportation information to the airport. The hotel staff provided a ”taxi” contact number and mentioned the fare. This service was originally very good, but unfortunately the driver contacted had questionable integrity. Before getting in the car, The charge was originally NZ$60, but when I finally arrived at the airport I was asked to pay NZ$70, which was very excessive. I hope the hotel can face up to this problem and not introduce this taxi company to customers, so as not to affect the hotel's image.

A centrally located hotel within walking distance of the harbour and other attractions. Stayed here for two nights to recover from a long flight before setting off on our New Zealand odyssey. Check in is efficient and our room was on the 23rd floor which afforded views across the city. The room was spacious and clean and the king size bed very comfortable. The bathroom was stocked with good quality accessories and the shower was powerful and hot. Ideal. However, we were close to lift and the whooshing noise when it was in use would annoy some. Breakfast was a little disappointing. The buffet is expensive for what’s on offer and the quality of the food we found average at best. At the time we stayed there was major construction work in progress outside the hotel although we were out during the day so it didn’t bother us.

This is definitely the best hotel with top service in Auckland. We were on a group tour and stayed in several hotels all over the country, Horizon stood out as the most accommodating, comfortable, and friendly. It's just a few minutes walk from Weta, the neighborhood is clean, modern and convenient, surrounded by convenient stores and restaurants. I carelessly left my spare phone in a hotel in Wellington, and I am super grateful that the Concierge at Horizon went out of their way to help get it back... (it was a slightly complicated situation as I left New Zealand before the phone reached Horizon).

I'm in LOVE! Cosy, Welcoming, Boutiquey. Went for a night away from my boys felt like I'd had a week at a spa. The staff were attentive and kind without being stiff necked. Room service from the restricted late night menu was DELICIOUS and the in-house breakfast was a perfect selection of light continental or eggs any way. The open fire was warm and inviting being tended by a waiter but i really did feel like I could put a log on it if I had I had itched that urge, My room had views of the city ferry's coming on a gloomy day. I happily watched them from my bed tucked up with my selection of pillows and the soft cotton and wool blanket. I'll be back sooner than later I expect and I'll be asking for the same room. An awesome example of the best of what our city has to offer. Made me proud to be a JAFFA!

OK, it's a great hotel, excellent rooms, supplies, service, nothing wrong there. I only have two complaints, and it starts with their breakfast lounge Advieh. Excellent food, indeed beautiful, but it does not require loud music. People are there for breakfast, not for loud music, which is obviously only for the staff, not for customers. Make it more welcoming please. And the other problem is the access if you're driving. There is valet parking, but the area is very inconspicuous and it will be invariably occupied by taxis, often in two or three rows. The unadvised driver will not be able to stop, or drive in, unless you want to stop all traffic behind you as you wait for the taxis to move out. So do not try to turn left and drive around again, as traffic directions will take you all over the North Island before you make it back to the hotel. Just carry on on the same street for another block and you will drive around this massive car park, overnight cheaper than the hotel valet ($40, as opposed to $80 at the hotel) and you can comfortably walk to the hotel directly through a covered pedestrian walkway above the street. But if you do want to use the valet service at the hotel front, do stop by the taxis, honk like crazy and they will slowly move away to allow your car through - remember, that is your spot, not theirs. But I honestly advise anyone to use Uber to get to this hotel, and not drive in.

I recently stayed here again before a yacht race the next day and also Thursday before Coastal Classic . Everytime we have visited we have been greeted with smiles and a can do attitude . One example is we needed a early breakfast before the annual coastal classic race and asked if we could order breakfast for 6:30am instead of 7 . The staff said no problem we can organise it with the kitchen . We arrived in the restaurant at 6:30am and our meals were sitting under the hot lights freshly cooked and hot ready to go . What great service ! I also like the ease of parking ( getting there is a little challenging due to road works at the moment and there is plenty of room to park before heading to reception . I recommend this place for great service , good food , a room with a view if required , clean modern rooms and a nice breakfasts .

The location is really convenient, the hardware facilities are passable in New Zealand, but the service is really indescribable ... the coffee machine has a problem. From the morning to the evening, 4 or 5 phones are not counted, and the people who clean the hotel and the front desk repeatedly. Communicate. Every time the answer is given, send someone immediately. Finally at ten thirty in the evening finally came to check. The other room was not cleaned, it is estimated to be off work and very speechless

There is basically nothing to complain about in terms of facilities, hygiene, environment and service, which is in line with Hilton standards. We came here for the sea view of the pier, and we were not disappointed. It is less than 5 minutes' walk to the pier of fuller360 to Waiheke Island, which is super convenient for taking a boat. Fish restaurant is at the end and has a view of the sea on both sides. The room is clean, spacious and comfortable. Although it is close to the pier, it doesn't feel noisy.

TLDR: no aircon, constant power cuts, paper thin walls.. Where do I start. First off there’s no aircon so the rooms are hot and uncomfortable. There are ducted low speed fans which don’t do much. But the biggest problem is the fact the rooms are on what I believe to be motion sensors or some kind of timers so ALL power turns off every 25 seconds, this is not an exaggeration. This includes the lights, jug, the fan - everything. I stubbed my toes in the dark because the lights turned off while I was walking around, and they wouldn’t turn back on. Showering in the dark due the lights constantly on and off. Good luck making a coffee, showering, watching TV or anything without that being interrupted by constant power cuts which drive you mad. I booked the small room. They look small in the photos but even smaller in person and I felt like I was suffocating, the rooms are tiny so heat up like crazy. The smallest hotel room I’ve ever seen. Also the walls are paper thin so I could hear my neighbours conversations word for word.. even with ear plugs. If there was air con and sound proof walls, I could have put up with the extremely small space. Terrible experience. Don’t even bother with this place. The Abstract had a lot of potential as they have decorated it very nicely but they have let themselves down. It is also in a dangerous area of Auckland central so you will want to make sure you are back in your room by dark, lots of drunk homeless people around. After my first night of zero sleep due to the heat, stuffiness and neighbours chatting, I complained and had my room kindly upgraded to a larger one, but the same issues remained of constant power cuts and no air con in that room too. At least it was a bit cooler due to being larger and an extra window, also had no neighbours.. The customer service was pretty good. There is no parking on site so you have to park in a carpark building across the road. The food in the restaurant was average but has a beautiful outdoor dining area which was the highlight.

Perfect Parnell Hotel Had one night here with the family and it was just perfect. The hotel was well maintained, clean, user friendly, comfortable, attractive and nice to be in. The room was well appointed and had everything we needed for our stay. We had a separate bedroom with two large beds in it. Very comfortable and fresh. The lounge was a good size. It had a mini sofa, some arm chairs, a round table and a little balcony looking out at the city and harbour. There was a bit of helicopter noise at night due to the proximity of the hospital. The hotel as in a nice location, just a short walk to the Rose Gardens and a set of shops that had a veggie shop, chemist, corner store, sushi shop and a café.
