Skycity Hotel

We stayed here for days during our time in Auckland. Knowing that our flight would bring us in well before check in, we planned to stow our bags with the concierge and walk around a bit for some sight seeing and shopping since the hotel is in such a great location. Unfortunately, we were unaware that we happened to arrive on the Queen’s Birthday and so most everything in the area was closed :(You can get free wifi in the lobby so we decided to hang out and wait a bit for our room to be ready. As you can imagine, being jet lagged and stuck sitting in the lobby just made us more exhausted but more than an hour before check in, the young lady behind the desk was able to get us an upgraded room so we could go up and rest! I actually would have preferred the basic room due to sleeping arrangements, but it was very kind. Thank you Sunaina!
The room was lovely and the bed comfy, which was good because there was not much to do that day. We showered/​bathed and rested. I loved the deep tub that was excellent for a tall person and my only complaint about the room was that there was a bit of a yucky smell from the toilet area; even after cleanings, it never went away and you can image how unpleasant that can be. Another thing I did not like was that I did not realize until I arrived that the SkyCity Hotel and the SkyCity Grand Hotel are two different things. They look in exactly the same place on a map when I was researching hotels. Do not make the same mistake as me if you like to swim as we only found out after we checked in that this hotel has NO POOL, so if that is an important amenity to you, you may want to book your stay across the street at the «Grand».
To be fair, we did not have much interaction with staff other than the first day and we didn’t eat at the hotel because there were just too many amazing places to explore nearby. Although we didn’t spend much time in the room, we did enjoy it. I appreciated the desk to write at and my son appreciated the movie channel. We both loved the robes provided too. Our view was a city view and only from the 4^th floor but still nice in the evenings. At $ 175 a night, it was worth it to me!

Not the best place I have ever been too. The bathroom had a feel of not quite being clean. The floor numbering systems is confusing. There are bars in the hotel but they look worn out. I would not recommend this place

One of the best places to stay in Auckland.
Only got 4 stars as it is on the expensive side and parking is a rip off.
Rooms are awesome. Got upgraded to a suite last time. Location is perfect and the area is loaded with bars and restaurants including the Mexican opposite.
Gym, sorry Cardio room, is a bit stink but it has a rowing machine. You can use the gym in the Grand opposite but it depends what you are into.

LOVELY HOTEL
This is quite a nice place with large well-​furnished rooms. It’s in a good location right next to the Auckland Sky Tower.
Note that the Bell Captain & his team can easily become overwhelmed when presented with multiple check-​ins & provide very poor service under those conditions, so it may be best to just take your own bags to your room.

A nice place to rest your head. Certainly comparable to the Hilton down the road. Were it not for the discount offer on the Wotif website I would argue that the rooms are a tad over priced, but not having paid the full rate I guess I can’t complain.

I was in a trip solo to Auckland and I thought for the price and location this was a great hotel. I was so excited when I checked in to see how centrally located it was. I could be anywhere in the city and as long as I could see the tower I could get back! Great for someone traveling alone. Check was smooth and all the staff was helpful, polite, and attentive. Once I arrived to my floor I had this amazing view and the floor lobby was decked out in modern furniture so you could sit out and relax.
My room was beautiful with a big glass shower. I got in late and went down to the casino for food. It was ok but I was sick and desperate for anything. I’m not a gambler but was amazed to see the amount of tourist gambling at midnight.
The following day, I went up to the sky tower and took photos and went by the bar. I really enjoyed my stay. I only wish the food was better!

I came to the Sky City hotel for a wedding and then stayed there for a weekend a year later.
The wedding we went to was one of the best weddings I’ve ever been to purely because the venue is so awesome. It was out on the rooftop of the Skycity complex and had the most amazing views out over the harbour. When it got darker we could see that one whole side of the rooftop was covered in fairy lights, a beautiful touch to the evening.
The food was so delicious. It was a buffet but not as you know it. They did what I can only describe as a gourmet barbeque. Even better was knowing that at the end of the night we didn’t have to stick around to clean anything up because the staff did it all. Like I said, it was a dream wedding venue and I’m gutted they got to it first!

As a birthday treat, my darling wife booked us in for a night at the Sky City Hotel. This luxury hotel offers everything you need for a night out on the town, location, location and location. Situated in the heart of Auckland in the shadow of the Sky Tower, you are just a short walk away from bustling Queen Street, art galleries, the casino and hundreds of restaurants to choose from.
You don’t even have to leave the hotel to get something to eat or drink; there is a top notch restaurant on site by top chef Peter Gordon. There is also a stylish bar in the foyer and another option that’s my all time favourite… Room service.
I loved it, the room was perfect, and I loved soaking in the bath. There is also a pool on site with all the goodies you need, including a sauna and a spa.
The price is good, and the setting perfect, this is one hotel I can really recommend.
