Edit Auckland Central
Downtown rooms 50 metres from Queen Street
About this hotel
Fifty metres from Queen Street, Auckland's main shopping strip, this property puts the Sky Tower, Britomart and the Viaduct all within a short stroll, covering most of the CBD's nightlife and dining without needing transport. Rooms lean toward versatility, with kitchen or kitchenette facilities, laundry access and air conditioning in most units, suited equally to a work trip or a few nights out downtown. Watergate Restaurant handles a continental breakfast each morning, and unlimited-device WiFi covers a stay built around both meetings and evenings out. Auckland Airport is a 30-minute drive, and the busy downtown position means the property leans toward guests who want to be in the middle of things rather than tucked away.

Our take
Edit Auckland Central puts you in the busiest part of the CBD, 50 metres from Queen Street, with the Sky Tower, Britomart and the Viaduct a short walk away. I would book it for a weekend of shopping and nightlife, and the kitchenette rooms work just as well for a longer work trip. Travellers wanting a quiet, tucked-away stay should look elsewhere, since this is one of Auckland's liveliest downtown blocks. A 7.9 score from 4,495 reviews is fair.
- Walk to the Viaduct for a night out rather than a taxi, it's an easy stroll from the door
- Use the kitchenette for a quick breakfast on busier mornings instead of relying on Watergate Restaurant alone
- Book with the Queen Street shopping strip in mind if that's the main draw of the trip
Why we love it
