Ascotia Off Queen

Awesome Queen room with amazing bed night lights, a TV to entertain myself or keep me company, a phone to ring reception if I needed anything, a fan to keep me cool, fabulous shower and toiletries to use. A comfortable and relaxing Queen size bed - it was like Heaven! The location is surrounded by shops, but I enjoyed staying in the room. My highlight was the Restaurant to have a quick pre-dinner ($16 burger & chips) and a $20 continental breakfast (hash bites, baked beans, scrambled eggs, bacon (wish they had the sautéed mushrooms instead of the sautéed vegetables) and weetbix with yoghurt and fresh fruit) in the morning with glasses of Apple juice. Staff were very kind, caring, friendly, and extremely accommodating. Book in early to get a car park because there's limited space.

Perfect room to stay one or two nights in Auckland and a go out and about - we were out most of the time and just needed a comfy bed, a good shower, a clean room and friendly staff! There is even a nice hang out space downstairs if you want a change of scene and a little bar to have a drink or a snack before going out. The hotel is close to everything - good restaurants, the Civic/Aotea Centre, bars, shops, 15 min walk to the waterfront etc. I really rate this place - it is super good value for money and we'd definitely stay again.

We used this hotel as our base for visiting Auckland. It was a short walk (30 min) to the harbour and a similar walk to the war museum and park area. The area immediately around the hotel seemed a little sketchy at first but we had no issues at all. You are very close to the University so there are loads of places to eat or grab a coffee. The breakfast buffet was good, you can pay a little more to get a fuller breakfast if you want. There is a restaurant in the hotel for lunch and dinner - we did not eat here but it smelled delicious . The location is out of the downtown area so a little quieter. If you are coming from the airport, I suggest taking the Super Shuttle about $20 per person.

I loved the location, it was perfect for getting around central Auckland. I also enjoyed the splendid view from my room. Very kind and friendly service at the reception. Great shower and fresh clean towels every day. Room servicing was very good. I didn’t expect such a lovely stay for the price. Hotel is close to some nice places to eat, convenience stores and public transport. Nice quiet hotel at night and a comfy bed.

Modern facilities, comfy bed, quality bathroom products in multi-use bottles (no waste), Sky TV (though BBC Earth was "N/A"), reasonably quiet on high floor, restaurant with option of room service (though didn't use), centre location at reasonable rate, friendly and helpful reception
