Very nice stay

  • March 10, 2009
  • Rated 5 of 5 by a traveler from Travelocity.com
Overnighted from the airport. Comfortable room. Wonderful bed! Conveniently located near downtown and adjacent to the university. Easy walking to restaurants and parks (but there are hills). Breakfast included anything you might want. Our only concern that, as swimmers, we would have preferred a warmer pool. We would stay again, especially at the low rate surprising for this nice a facility.

Overall, quite good

We arrived before check in time, but they found another room for us if we wanted it. It was near the elevator, and they said it may be noisy, but we heard nothing. The staff was very friendly and professional. They were helpful to first time visitors by offering points of interest, providing maps of downtown, arranging shuttle and cab service, and were just generally courteous. The location was perfect., about 3 blocks from Queen Street. It was close, but not so close that it was noisy outside the room. The only real downside was the price of the restaurant food. The breakfsats were good, but very, very expensive. All of the food was very expensive. The room itself was smallish, but nice. Good bed, clean room, all necessary amenities. We stayed on the 9th fllor and never heard anything but the wind and rain. The next time we go to Auckland, I expect we'll stay here again, but eat elsewhere.

The staff was superb. Beds were extremely comfortable and the pool and spa were awesome. If you can get the Regency Club continental breakfast and or'dorves, both are worth it. Location was across the street from the university and walking distance to shopping. (about 20-25 minutes from the Viaduct) We stayed here 2 nights and actually returned from Rotoura for 2 more nights. I have no negatives at all about this lovely hotel and their staff.

Hyatt

Situated in the leafy, hilly University District of Auckland, the Hyatt served as our first New Zealand accommodation. In our fog of jetlag from flying from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia the night before, finding the Hyatt became quite annoying as one-way streets hindered a few turns.

Upon check-in we were asked, "Would you like a view of the harbour or a view of the Sky Tower?" Tough choice since Auckland is surrounded by such beautiful sights. We chose the harbour view since the Sky Tower was on our itinerary for one evening anyway. Lugging our bags upstairs in a state of lethargy, we eyed the bed and gave each other a nod. We took turns in the shower and fell asleep for about 6 hours. Quite a nap, but much needed.

Our room on the seventh floor had a large bed, moss green carpet, wooden furniture, and overall pleasant, traditional surroundings. A well-stocked mini-bar tempted us once we woke up, but one look at the prices deterred us (isn’t that typical?). The hotel also has a spa, gym, indoor pool, restaurant, and a couple of bars, but I can’t give any first-hand account since I didn’t use any of these amenities.

The small, but clean bathroom had plenty of fresh towels available for our use, and enough space to put all of your "stuff" toothbrushes, toothpaste, cosmetics, and the like.

The location is convenient with pleasant Albert Park, the Old Arts Building and Clock Tower and the Old Government House situated a few minutes walk away. A walk to the Waterfront or Sky Tower is only a few minutes more.

Don’t plan on eating breakfast here unless you really want to spend a lot of money. The buffet priced out to be approximately $20 ($30NZD) per person. We walked over to Denny’s (yes, the same as the US) and spent that much on two of us for the same quality food.

I would recommend the Hyatt because of its location and price. Being a chain hotel with mostly business guests, it was a bit cold and unfriendly, yet it was suitable for what we needed.
