Gamma Hotel

Great location--Close to the CBD, restaurants, Britomart, the train station, the University of Auckland, and Albert Park. The hotel is across the street from a small "pocket park". The room has a microwave oven and a small refrigerator. There is a full sized kitchen if you want to use one. There is a laundry room for guest use. There is good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Cons--There is no luggage rack (good thing the floor is clean). There is no closet (the microwave and refrigerator occupied that space).

Practical location, very budget, not cost bit comfortable for what you pay.

Room was clean and felt safe.

Great for solo travelers. Little bit noisey as in a busy area but conveniently close to train and bus stations.

Great value, very clean and well-appointed room, excellent location as a quick walk to eateries and Britomart etc. Did wake up smelling food cooking throughout the night as there is a shared kitchen etc, but otherwise excellent.

Excellent value, walking distance to ferry. Clean. Very comfortable bed and nice pillows. Would stay again.

Room is clean and tidy for a budget price. Place is near to shopping, food and train station. Highly recommended. Will book again!

Checking in, the staff made me feel like I was imposing just by checking in, but did help me lug my baggage up their stairs because there is NO elevator/lift. Layout is awkward and not very accessible but hotel location in nicely in quiet area of town & by neat little park and easy walking to large shopping and dinning hub. The room I had was oddly detailed in plain cheap wood panels, restroom fan didn't work, and not many outlets to use. Plus tiny desk/table space, weird placement of TV and the shower was so odd. It had no door, just small section of wall and water pooled nearly beyond shower area toward toilet with floor slightly slanted to drain, but not well. No shelf or holder for your soaps & toiletries, just had to put them on the floor. The heat pump & AC had a strong scent maybe of a spiced food that lingered for a long time. And oddly, all night I was kept up by clear clicking/creaking sound like the walls were settling with a change in temperature. Gamma is certainly a cheap hotel. Does the job of a place to sleep & bath but not very comfortably. I even had lots of trouble calling for trying to get info as the reception person's English was poor & they couldn't understand me despite spelling my name out 4 times and not in a hurry. The bed was fine at least and slightly soft towels, but hard to judge after 2 months in a camper van.

Good choice of hotel for where we wanted to travel/move around from and also to meet friends. Hotel staff extremely nice and friendly and amenities in hotel and room were great. We will stay there again if in Auckland

Great value!
