On arrival from the cruise dock, we expected to have to store our luggage till check in. Our room was already available, which was great. The room was spacious and well equipped. The bed was a bit too soft for my husband. This was rectified within hours of him mentioning it. The restaurant was great and staff throughout the property were courteous and helpful. Our only issue was the touch pad controlling lights, aircon and window blinds. Maybe our age was the problem, as we found ourselves...

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Auckland
Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Auckland is between May and July, when hotel prices are generally lower. For those looking to explore the city's key landmarks, cultural sites, and historical attractions, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. During this time, you can enjoy visits to the bustling port, unique shopping experiences, fascinating museums, delightful dining options, guided tours, charming cafes, and impressive monuments, as well as the stunning volcanic landscapes. This period offers great value for money for travellers seeking to immerse themselves in Auckland's rich history and vibrant culture.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Auckland, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Additionally, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, so you’re less likely to miss any savings opportunities. The Smart Shopping tool within the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you can make informed decisions. If prices drop or new rooms become available, you'll be the first to know, facilitating your last-minute booking.
Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in an Auckland hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we may suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you to potentially secure a better deal.
Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Auckland’s superb public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel further afield that remains well linked. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
