PRIVATE ROOMS IN CENTRAL AUCKLAND

The area

I had a very quiet room. Very close to multiple eateries and a supermarket.

No communal tea, coffee, or condiments. The toilet bolts were all loose, so the toilet wobbled. There were no rails in either the bathroom or the bedroom to hang your towels on. The bedroom furniture was minimal; it would have been helpful to have a chair and desk or table, perhaps hooks and/or rails and shelves. There was only a thin duvet on the bed and no spare blankets for a cold night. No breakfast provided. No staff were fluent in English. I found an iPad on their driveway, and no staff had any idea what to do with it. (I managed after a lot of effort to track down its owner and returned it.)

The separate beds for children were useful The location was great.

It was not very clean in the communal areas. There is no hand basin in the bathroom, so nowhere to wash hands and brush teeth. The beds were very uncomfortable and only had a sheet and duvet. It was too hot to use the duvet but too cold for no top sheet.
