Stayed on the 8th floor with amazing view of the harbour. The suite was quiet and well equipped but the bathroom required refurbishment. The swimming pool was also out of commission for the whole of our 3 night stay which was disappointing. Reception staff really friendly and helpful.

We had a studio room on level one. The balcony was dirty but still nice to have. Great location and helpful staff. We had two issues: bathroom wasnt good...small with dirty grout and broken shower head...they did rectify this when we asked and was mich better. At night the street noise was very disruptive - so much so we couldnt sleep. Cars racing and people partying...no fault of the hotel but was loud in our room. So overall the experience was a bit mixed.

Great Hotel - The Chancellor on Hobson!

It was a short stay before heading to the airport and everything about the hotel was delightful, especially the staff! They were very helpful with making sure we had what we needed and greeted us enthusiastically each interaction. I would definitely recommend booking a stay.

The hotel is very close to the city and the wharves. It is getting tired now, and our rooms on the first floor, were a bit dark and dingy. But it suited us for the night.

I’ve stayed previously and it was an awful experience. With the recent rebrand, I thought I would give them a second chance, however it was just as terrible as I recall. The staff were great, the facilities were the problem. Dirty, broken tiles, missing curtain loops, cracked mirror, stained carpet and the “accessible” bathroom was not at all that - the only concession being a walk-in (tiny) shower. The water pressure was good. The bed was average to poor. I travel regularly to Auckland and have paid less to stay at better facilities. I won’t be booking here again.
