Very Good

This hotel is in a historic train station…. It’s a very cool stay in the building and has a dedicated cooking area that is massive! The only downside was the water pressure
It’s a really cool building right next door to spark arena so super handy if going to a concert or other event there. The rooms are clean and tidy and it was very quiet. It’s nothing fancy, the rooms have been done up but as cheaply as possible and not with a high attention to detail.
Nice clean room in a nostalgic unique building. Walking distance to the Strand train station for boarding the Great Northern Explorer.
The halways are a bit noisy when people moving about, but for most part fairly quiet
An interesting place - fabulous building - can’t argue with the price. Room a bit small and some interesting odours from the shared cooking facility but everything functional

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Large rooms with great yesteryear character
Very high ceilings comfortable quiet with everything you need
Would definitely stay again
Great value for money
Good restaurant option within metres
A beautiful old building
Nice staff. Clean room. Nothing fancy here, but there was a fridge and microwave oven. The bed was comfortable and the shower hot. The room had some age, but that could be expected from a building once used as a train station.

I felt the room was very overpriced for a very basic room but it was clean & tidy with a nice bathroom. Right next door to Spark Arena which was convenient for our concert, the lady on reception was lovely, showed us to our room & gave us a later check out time. Take earplugs though as very noisy outside all night.
very tidy personal space.
communal areas not too bad, very big and impressive.
very quiet while I was staying but obviously close to the Railway lines so traffic noise could be a problem.
Good Air-conditioned and well maintained studio space
It is a big wow when we entered the building! A sense of history! The lady at reception is very kind. Room is tidy, aircon is powerful and quiet. 5 stars for the value! Recommend to anyone who needs to catch an early train departs Auckland Strand.

The room was fine especially for the low price but the noise from people entering our hallway and using the elevator was so loud and went on until 3 am.
Good place to stay for value and convenience. Newly renovated rooms. The staff there were amazing, came to get me from the carpark and carried my bag up to the room (night staff). Thanks heaps!
It was fine. No amenities. No cable TV. Quite basic. Location made everything walkable and we only slept there so met our needs. The old railway station was quite cool with the architecture and such. Overall if you need a cheap place to stay that is secure and comfortable I would recommend.
