Top Stardome Observatory & Planetarium Hotel Reviews

Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group

8/10 Good

"We came to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday at the 8s Restaurant and stay for 2 nights. We don't often spend money at these expensive hotels and eat at restaurants but this was worth it. Thank you to the fantastic staff at Cordis for making our stay memorable."

Solsen Flexi Stay & Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The place is well-maintained and has a wide parking space."

Edit Auckland Greenlane

Mount Eden Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely clean room, nice quiet area. Really enjoyed our stay"

Novotel Auckland Ellerslie

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for an overnight stay for a function I was attending in the area. The hotel was clean and well maintained. The staff were helpful and efficient. The room was quiet and well appointed. I was a female travelling alone and felt very safe there."

La Quinta By Wyndham Ellerslie Auckland

8/10 Good

"."

Knights Inn

8/10 Good

"Basic motel but has pretty much everything you need. It's clean, has a decent shower with excellent hot water and power, microwave, hob, smart tv with sky tv (including nearly all of the channels), aircon is quiet and a couple of comfy chairs. The bed springs sound like they've had better days yet the bed itself was still comfy. I just wish there were extra blankets as the duvet was a bit floaty (but not cold). There's a supermarket next door and another down the road with a few breakfast options along with a cracking Indian restaurant over the road. If you get the rooms at the back of the motel they're actually reasonably quiet plus there's free parking. If you're expecting a 4 or 5 star hotel, you'll be disappointed but, to be honest, it's actually hard to find fault. Like I say, basic but definitely more than adequate."
