City Lodge was perfect for our 1 night layover in Auckland before exploring the South Island. Staff was genuine and helpful. Good value for the money. Would recommend, especially for backpackers and travellers.
This accommodation has been the best of all my stays in Auckland, safe, super clean, great kitchen, very friendly staff and so close to K Road and the CBD (great shopping and dining), yet very quiet situated amongst a road of large trees; the best. I will be back.
Convenient to all central Auckland, room was standard but a bit Dusty toilet paper holder dirty and blinds , not a complaint tho . Staff friendly, good variety of information for visiting Auckland. Community kitchen facility was absolutely immaculate and a nice lounge area to swap books or meet people. Zero alcohol policy which is good, be aware of the $140 bond regardless of paying in advance which is standard policy. Would stay again
Unless you look on the city lodge official website you’ll get a big surprise when your asked to pay a 140$ deposit on top of your room cost , let alone no information about there being no onsite parking because it is closed for repairs.
For the quality,cleanliness and facilities within the room, the price is exceptionally competitive. I was pleased with the location. Close to cbd, k road, and ponsonby. The room isn't the biggest but everything is super clean. My only complaint, like most of the hotel guests, is that the tv service provided by Sky went off during my first day at the accommodation and didn't return before i checked out. The reception staff were friendly. Special shout out to Simran who tried valiantly to resolve the tv issues.
It was an okay stay. The blinds in the room were a joke. The sunlight was maddening. I had to put up a blanket to keep the light out. In addition, the neighbors from the apartments next door were loud and obnoxious even late at nights. On the plus side, its fairly close to the CBD. You get what you pay for basically
It’s actually a dry hotel, a bit like a hostel. There are shared kitchen and laundry facilities in the basement. Staff were friendly. Cleaning is done once a week similar to other hotels in Australia.
My start was excellent. The staff were super helpful, friendly and when out of there way. The only issue I had was having a friend come up to my room for a short while. He was questioned by the receptionist. Not sure what all that was about. I guess it's for security reasons. Shouldn't have been a problem as he wasn't staying with me.
Very easy process for check in and a nice spot for walking to places. Also close to bus station

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Basic hotel room
Everything I needed. Close to shops, clubs and cinema.
Very clean, friendly staff.
Just like the photo but there was no bed-side light or luggage rack.
Was advertised as double room...was a single bed with no cover...room was tiny. No guests or alcohol allowed. Tired and old. It was a shock. Location was the only upside.
Great location, quiet (even though at full capacity), was generally mostly clean (just needed a bit more attention to detail), had comfortable beds, was easy walking distance to shops and bus. Great breakfast available at J Love Cafe which was about a minute walk away. Not the flashest area but we felt perfectly safe. Good value for money.

Disliked: Staff & service
Staff unlocked our door and opened it up while we were in our room. Very unprofessional they stated that they were checking if the room was clean as they forgot we had checked in, but we had only checked in 20mins prior to them letting themself in our room, they would of heard us through the door as we heard the key moving as the rooms are not sound proof. There was no real apology given and we felt gross knowing they could try open our door with our stuff in it if we were not there.
