This property is very convenient to downtown Auckland and the waterfront. Our rooms were clean and very comfortable. Staff were kind and friendly and all facilities inc the gym, pool, spa and sauna were excellently maintained. My only suggestion would be is that the hotel needs to streamline their checkout processes. It took 25 minutes to check out, the staff were lovely but understaffed and the process of checking one room at a time then reporting back to reception was incredibly inefficient, especially with everyone checking out at 10am on a Sunday! Maybe invest in some walkie talkies. It seemed outdated too to charge a large bond per room on check in (we've stayed in many hotels and havent had to do this for years). It is the sole hold up on check out.

3.8/5 Stars can recommend the chancellor on Hobson

I had a good experience staying at the chancellor this weekend, I had no serious issues pop up. Check-in/out was easy and quick. I pre booked parking so having a space secured was nice, the car park was better than many others I have seen at similar price ranges around Auckland city and easy elevator access (usually). I wasn’t expecting a bond of $250 but I got my refund right then and there on checkout so no harm no foul. The elevator went out during my stay but they had specialists there fixing it and had it sorted asap. My room was clean and tidy and had all the amenities you would think of wanting. Some damage to the tiled areas in the room but nothing major and it didn’t affect my experience so again no harm no foul. The bed was cozy and the view of the skyline (perfect view of the sky tower) really was awesome. I’ll also mention the room was well soundproofed with windows and balcony doors closed and the blackout curtains let me get some good sleep after a night out on the city (everything available within 15 min walk through town). To wrap up, 3.8/5 stars can recommend the chancellor queen studio room (city view) especially if you can get a deal on the price $330 for two nights stay was worthwhile for a guy wanting a weekend getaway.
