Excellent contemporary hotel with great location close to the harbor and Main streets. Easy walking to sky Drive bus terminal which services Auckland airport.
Staff very helpful. We used it as an overnight stay prior to airport departure.
Great views from the upper floors. A nice fresh feel to the rooms.

Great Hotel if you don’t have a car
Hotel was great. Only issue is the inability of the hotel to park a rental at a reasonable rate. $59 a day is absurd.

This was our favorite place to stay on our 2 week trip to Australia and NZ. The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly and gave us great recommendations on where to eat. The room and shower waa great and so was the view. Would definitely recommend to others.

I hadn't been to Auckland CBD for many years and I found that finding the correct parking garage hard to do. The amount of roadworks and blocking of roads made this even harder. Cant fault the Hotel Holiday Inn Express. They were excellent.
