Top Wattle Downs Hotel Reviews

Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a great motel would definitely recommend"

Heartland Hotel Auckland Airport

10/10 Excellent

"This was much better than the Hilton LAX! The room was very clean with great in-room coffee. The bed was comfortable and quests were very quiet. The restaurant served very good food at a reasonable price. The Hilton spent their money on the lobby and other non-guest room appointments while the food was enormously overpriced. We will be staying here on the night before our trip out of country."

Grand Millennium Auckland

10/10 Excellent

"I picked the hotel because of: 1) location - it is in the middle of everything. In the CBD near theaters, restaurants, museums, the port, and the new underground. 2) Also important is that it is upscale. We got a room with access to a club/lounge with free drinks and some food between 5 and 7. And nonalcoholic drinks available all day. That club has wonderful views of the city. 3) the hotel has a heated swimming pool - larger than most. 4) breakfast was included for our plan, and 5) the staff was very nice and responsive. I would stay here again."
