CityLife Auckland

CityLife Auckland is really well-placed for people who want to see and do things in Auckland, e.g., a nice walk down to the ferry and other mass transportation options. And Ubers are plentiful and always arrived within minutes. The ability to connect suites to in effect have a 3-bedroom/2-bath apartment for the 2 weeks we were there was crucial! And having in room kitchen and laundry facilities was crucial, too! You are close to everything you might need from restaurants to clothing stores to grocery stores, etc. And for the sake of comparison, we budgeted out nearby options for Airbnb rentals and concluded that CityLife's price compared pretty favorably; at the same, time, we eliminated the unpredictability of Airbnbs, which was also key as we were coming from thousands of miles away sight unseen with kids and more than a dozen suitcases in tow and we were not going to have the luxury of simply switching accommodations at the drop of a hat! Thank you, CityLife.

Centrally located in the business district. Closeby are restaurants, shops and the harbour. We had a washer and dryer that we used and they worked well. Kitchenette appliances were clean and functioned properly. Instructions were included for the stove which were helpful. The bedroom was ample in size, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom very clean. Wonderful towel warmer! Staff was friendly and helpful.

The washer's soap dispenser was dirty, but we needed to wash clothes. No harm done to the clothes. No shelving was in the shower stall to place products/soap on. Needed to set on the floor or open the shower door to reach across to the sink area. Otherwise no issues.

I really liked my stay and had a lot of space. The staff was super friendly, I would have just wished there was more information up front, that there is the possibility of valet parking, as finding a parking space was super difficult. Otherwise, I could explore Aukland by foot from the location and there were two Asian restaurants (one Korean, one Chines) just across the road, and the main street around the corner, so it was easy to get some late snacks. The staff was super friendly and I could leave my baggage on the last day, so that I could enjoy Aukland harbour without worries. :)

Everything was the best! Our 3bedroom connected is such a smart idea and it was such a good time having my family close but not too close 🤣

The only 2 downfalls was the elevators. For such a big building and only 1 elevator working out of i think 4, waiting for an elevator took way too long and eventually when an elevator did come it was already full. The last thing was, could you possibly mention the bond when booking because we didn't realise the bond was $600 until your asking for it at the front desk. Sort of threw us off other than that we are already planning to do that again!

Great central location, the rooms were clean and spacious. Very helpful staff. We got a room on the 19th floor which offered an amazing view of the Auckland Sky Tower.

the location is perfect.. it’s centrally located to absolute everything. everything in the room is functioning.. I washed my clothes and had them dried using the drier and they gv me more free washing detergent.. thank you for that…they upgraded our room and trying to accommodate late checkout. the breakfast at coffee club is good. the room is clean and the bed mattress is soft but I’m okay with it and it’s so comfortable

they mention it the booking that nzd200 will be collected upon checked in and will return it back on check out but that’s not happening. no one mentioned on nzd200.. so I’m not sure.

Our 16th floor room had a great view of the SkyTower and we even had a glimpse of the Harbour Bridge. Just off central Queen Street is a handy location for downtown, the CBD, and not far from the airport buses and Vic St W car rental. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the kitchen reasonably well-equipped. We had an extra bed in the lounge, and had to ask for an extra chair for the dining area but this was provided without fuss. We also made use of the valet parking which was useful. Reception staff were helpful and friendly.

At the time we stayed, one of the lifts was marked as out of order, one seemed to be stuck on our floor, but not operating, and another seemed to be on a go-slow. That left just one lift for 24 floors of apartments, with the result that there was sometimes a long wait to go anywhere. There is a night club in the street below and they did go on until the wee small hours one night, which was a bit disturbing.

Location is excellent and the valet parking service also. The staff are friendly, helpful and professional and the level of cleanliness is very good. Room sizes good and bathrooms lovely. We made use of the 15% discount at nearby Coffee Club and had a great breakfast which lasted us well into the day. My daughter and I stayed in one room with my mother in a separate room. In hindsight we should have booked adjoining rooms, but weren't aware that was an option. Will remember that for next time :)

There was some noise from other rooms and the hallway, but not late into the evening so it didn't disturb our sleep. The fragrance in the elevators was very strong.

The room was really nice and modern, a good size for a short stay with great facilities and relatively quiet considering its location! The bed was nice and comfortable. Superb central Auckland location, it was nice to see the top part of the Sky Tower from the room. The staff were also professional and efficient. Good wifi access, and the valet parking service was nice as well - it is $45 though...probably about $10-$15 overpriced if I'm being honest. But in saying that, it was nice to stay in Central Auckland and have a car parking option!

Probably a little overpriced, but the overall experience was a very good one - and I was staying during a busy weekend for international sporting fixtures in Auckland...no doubt impacting the price!

It's the quietest hotel I've stayed at in the CBD, which can get noisy on the weekends. The saltwater pool has seen better days, but it's well heated, and I had it all to myself. Right in the middle of Queen Street and easy access to a supermarket, bars, shops, and restaurants. They provide a goodie bag encouraging you to take the toiletries you started. Excellent shower pressure and temperature. Beds are comfy. This will be my number 1 choice if I have to stay in town.
