No parking on site. Restaurant had limited and over priced menu
Location clean, staff was good, but could have been better, called desk asked for lotion delivered to room and mone was ever delivered.
Staff was very polte abd cordial
The staff at Rydges Auckland were amazing. Everyone was friendly and helpful. They arranged an early checkin to one of our rooms so we could store our luggage there. They checked our luggage after checkout so we could utilize the day before our cruise started. They were helpful with arranging meals and suggestions on things to do and see. The hotel itself was modern and clean. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The location was excellent. Walkable to SkyTower, the port, Victoria Park and Albert’s Park and to shopping.
3 pm checkin, so if your flight arrives early morning and you wan to sleep, reserve the prior night for late check-in.
Comfortable, clean, large rooms. Older hotel, well maintained.
Resturant with great variety, 24 hours.
Bar and coffee stand on site, good muffins.
Grocery and liquor store across the street.
Taxi charges $30 NZ anywhere in Central core. Uber is fast, half the price. Auckland is built on hills, so Uber over walking.
Nice, friendly staff.

We saw many better looking properties in the area and our stay was way too expensive for the quality of stuff provided. The parking was a rip-off and we chose this hotel for the expedia VIP access which did not help in anyway.
The coffee bar in the corner of the lobby was outstanding, especially the service provided by Senar the barista. He made us feel welcome and at home. Coffee was very good, paninis were excellent.
