Good location, close to get groceries, waking distance from the ferry and the bars and restaurants in Auckland CBD. Room was spacious and easy to get to. Good that there was a fan in the room even though I had a window. The only thing to consider is there was music playing every morning before 7 that could be heard when the window was open and closed. Comfortable bed but pillows are a little flat. The common areas were being cleaned constantly throughout the day which made it feel very clean. It was great because there is communal salt and pepper which is great as a traveller. Some of the washing machines and dryers are free which is great! Staff were friendly. I would recommend for a solo traveller looking for a private room. The communal areas were not as social as I would have expected but nothing to do with the location itself.
