This is basic accommodation at a combined hotel/student accommodation location.
Amenities I appreciated were:
- Convenience store located nearby
- Restaurant downstairs
- In-room conveniences: coffee, tea, and creamer provided, which was helpful.
- Beds were very comfortable and for budget accommodation in Auckland, the rooms were spacious and came with TVs and a working desk.
- Baggage storage was free; this can't always be assumed at a hotel - thank you!
Neutral:
- There was a lot of ambient traffic noise from the main road 19 floors below. When we arrived, the latches on the windows were broken, preventing them from closing properly, and so much more noise came into the room than was necessary. After I told reception, they fixed it that afternoon, and although you could still hear the cars, it was pretty much just quiet background noise after that! Would have been nice for this to have been dealt with before we arrived, however.
- Dishwashing soap was thrown into a messy pile with the coffee, tea, and creamer, so I thought that it hadn't been provided but it is there!
Downsides:
- No free WiFi. Admittedly this is standard-ish for a hotel AND is described on the page itself but it's easy to miss because most AirBnB hosts provide free WiFi, so I didn't think to check this. My bad, but guests should make sure they remember this.
- A main duct for the air conditioning is adjacent to this room. Although it didn't bother me, it was loud enough that my girlfriend found she couldn't sleep here and had to go sleep somewhere else!
