    A great and cheap option for those who want to discover the attractions of central Auckland.

    The windowless room, leaky bathroom and peeling ceiling are negative points. Access through the bar and the lack of an elevator must be considered for those arriving with a lot of luggage.

    This location is ideal for tourists seeking centrality, situated right across from the airport bus stop and sky center. The beds are notably comfortable and clean, ensuring a pleasant stay. Additionally, the room amenities include tea and coffee bags. Considering its prime central location, the pricing is fair. The staff was very helpful and kind when storing our luggage after checkout.

    My room was in the interior of the building so no window which was disappointing, and not as depicted in the photos.

    The barman was also the receptionist, he was very friendly and most helpful - carried my bag up the stairs which was much appreciated.

    Room was very tired. No lift but the gentleman very kindly carried my bag upstairs and back down again for me. Couldn't fault the service.

    Location was great, price was excellent - about half the price we paid when we had stayed in Auckland the previous week, however you get what you pay for. The accommodation was tired and the noise drifted up from the street, but the management were excellent and extremely friendly and helpful. Great, affordable option to catch the bus to the airport the next day (right across the road from the bus station).

    The room had no natural light or air. Due for a facelift.the spa bath in the room would have been better with a shower that you didn’t need to climb into and a smaller bath if it could fit

    Although the hotel was in the historic era it was comfortable and clean

    A clothes rack in the room would be good 👍

    Great location. Got a room where I could see the sky tower from my window. Had quiet nights and noisy nights there. The noisy night, everyone the city was out for party. Before I booked I read reviews. For me was this place ok. Had all I needed in my room. Small fridge, Microwave, plates, cups… From airport with buss the bus stop is across the street. There you can get back to airport as well. One way was 10€ as I remember. for sightseeing tours the busses will pick up from there, but be ready at least 10minutes before time. The guide arrive earlier, because of the traffic.

    Hair found on the shower. The shower handle were the opposite of the temperature of the water.

    I liked how the staff were so friendly and the location was really close to the intercity bus stop. Pretty close to the sky tower too. Having our own shower was so good as well because we didn’t have to get out of our rooms.

    Lovely stay in the heart of downtown Auckland!

    Although I had a very enjoyable stay, a few minor things to note: the noise from the beeping traffic light and cars outside can reach the room. The hotel is also located on top of a bar, so on busy nights that generates some additional noise. The customer service is good but not excellent (your room is not cleaned/replenished every day and when you run out of things, you will sometimes have to request it from the staff).

    I had a great stay at Albion hotel. The biggest advantage is the hotel's prime location at the heart of downtown Auckland. You are perfectly positioned to walk around Queen St., the Central Business District, and to the downtown ferry terminal! The room was cozy, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The value for money you are getting is excellent with this hotel. I would definitely stay there again!

    The hotel is much more old and tired than it appears in the photos. We were given the wrong rooms and had to wait to get that fixed. The bar staff also don't seem to have any clue about the hotel side of things, despite this being where we had to check in. There was no toilet paper in my room when I arrived, and when I went down to ask for some the girl looked at me like I was crazy, and then passed me a commercial size roll, even though I said it was for my room, not the bar toilet. It was bizarre. My shower door was also broken and didn't stay closed. Not a deal breaker, just annoying.

    The bed was very comfy, and the shower pressure was amazing.

    The stairs are challenging for old people. The manager carried our bags up when we arrived. Very heroic. It is a noisy area but that is not the hotel's fault. We had no fridge for the first night but got one the following day.

    The location is great- right next to the bus to and from the airport. And close to the Sky Tower, places to eat and within walk to the Art Gallery and the botanic garden and museum.

    Great location, friendly staff, facilities need upgrade.

    • Stayed 3 nights

    1) Hotel facilities need to upgrade; 2) window has no sound proof, Road construction worked outside at the weekend, very noisy; 3) bedroom is very small. Initially I was given a room without window, which was never mentioned in booking .com website, not the room picture as in my booking. Since I booked 3 nights, I asked if they can change. The staff was very helpful and moved me to a room with windows.

    1) Great location, in city centre, good for shopping, food, events. Just few minutes walk to main coach stops, for both Intercity (inland travelling) and SkyExpress (to the airport); 2) Friendly staffs.
