I loved the hotel. There were a few small things that were a bit of an issue but everything was perfect. The staff were nice and made check in easy

you have options for the same price.
Auckland was the last leg of our trip and this was the worst hotel we stayed. Our room was more like an attic and I hit my head against low beams multiple times. The room was not completely cleaned, and the carpet must be as old as the bar.

It was a lovely old pub. Our room was on the third floor up six flights of steps with a heavy suitcase we are in our 60’s the staff didn’t offer to help. Food and beer was excellent

I had read the reviews before booking, so I was aware of what I might be in for. However, I found the check in quite helpful – there was an issue in the bathroom which staff apologised profusely for and as they were booked out he would have preferred to give me another room, but this understandably wasn’t possible. I arrived quite late, but this wasn’t an issue. It was conveniently located to my workshop and the room was lovely enough for the price. Unfortunately the shower was quite dirty but the room was nice and clean. The only other issue was a loud, drunk person outside in the hallway, but this wasn’t the hotels fault and thankfully it didn’t go on for too long. ☺️

There is no lift. We were in third floor, 4th including the pub below. We were climbing 67 steps twice a day. Not recommended if you have a big luggage. We stayed there for 3 nights. Noisy. Building was shaking when a bus passing by. Unhygienic to obtain a water from the toilet basin to make a hot drink. That’s what you get in the room. Mould on the bathroom and smell of urine, looks like it has not been cleaned and vacuumed for months. Nobody cleaned the room for first day. We spoke to the manager/ the staff who served us during check in and he said it will be only cleaned after the second night. Nobody came to clean at all. So we used the wet damp towel for 3 days. Broken light shade cover on the hallway exposing the light bulb. Small room, It’s a shame because the building looks nice outside.

It is a great concept Brewery, Restaurant and Hotel. It is centrally located and can walk to alot ie: Bay Harbor,Museums, Sky tower, food, and public transit options. They do not have a front desk. So don't get in earlier than said check in. The room I was is could use an upgrade. But it had what I needed a bed and shower. And when I asked for a hair dryer I forgot mine. They let me borrow one.

It’s not a place for proper people to stay. It stings and filthy. No private bathroom or shower. Complete ripoff. Won’t trust to Expedia antif I don’t get my full refund because I had to leave the place to find somewhere to stay

The price and location were awesome. The place is very old and you get what you pay for. Also, the parking nearby is pretty expensive. You’re better off staying here if you don’t have a car, want to save some money and be the middle of everything.

Room was at the top of 3 flights of stairs. It was pokey and dirty. No remote for tv. The bed was on the floor, with no legs so u didn't hit your head on the ceiling. G.M was rude and they promise to return our $300.00 bond the next morning but didn't. We rang to follow-up and were told, 'sorry our G.M is off today'. Very disappointing. Don't waste your money here!

You have to remind them about deposit refund :(
A hell of a palaver trying to get into the room. Required ID - but only a passport or NZ Drivers Licence - of which I had neither on me. Asked for $300 deposit (after we had paid for the stay) promising to refund this if it wasn't needed. 2 weeks later, after emailing the hotel, they said 'oh thanks for the reminder'. Very poor. How many folk don't 'remind' them? Room very pokey. Parking was $40/day. Not $30 as advertised. Not going back.
