The Parnell Hotel & Conference Centre

Property was easy to get to. Easy check in on arrival. Staff were helpful throughout our stay. We booked a Premium Studio with Balcony for 3 nights. The property was recommended by a family member who stayed here 18 months ago. The location was great for us to see family and friends in that part of Auckland but we were also able to walk into CBD one day to the Art Gallery (40 mins via Uni and Albert Park) and would have also been easy to get to Domain (which you can see from the hallway of hotel). We had a great view over the docks, CBD and North Shore, Devonport and Rangitoto. There is a lovely little Rose Garden down the road. The room had two large comfy double beds, sofa and chairs, dining table and chairs. There was a good kitchen area which we didn't need to use in the end as great restaurants nearby. The bathroom was clean and shower was excellent. It was very reasonable given the proximity to CBD and bus routes in. Parnell is a lovely area to stay. Lots of beautiful architecture and streets.

We were in the last unit in the block - it was reasonably quiet and the view from the bedroom of the city landscape was lovely, particularly at night. Then from the kitchen there were views of surrounding neighbourhood homes and trees which was also pleasant.

This hotel suited us well. We were two friends travelling and the room was spacious with two double beds, and a small patio. We opted for a room with a kitchenette, and it was clean and well stocked with dishes, etc. This ended up being our favourite location. Although not in the heart of downtown, we were in the Parnell district, which is lovely and safe with many fun restaurants and shops on the main strip of Parnell. I prefer to be away from the areas that are too busy and overpriced, and, liking to walk a bit of distance (under an hour) we were able to walk into the CBD on days we needed to. There is also a bus that connects the area to downtown. When walking a short distance in the other direction, we discovered a rose garden, lovely park, and Judges Bay, all well worth a wander (and maybe a swim in the bay if the weather is right).

Everything was perfect. The front desk staff were friendly and accommodated our needs. Parking was easy, we got a spot right in front of our room. The room was well equipped. The bottle of cream in the refrigerator to add to the provided coffee, tea, and hot chocolate was such a nice touch. In fact, the whole place was filled with a little extras that make a big difference, like extra pillows and blankets in the closet, good quality products in the bathroom, a very good hairdryer, and a well-stocked kitchenette. We loved the location. Nice views out of some of the windows. I initially chose The Parnell Hotel because of its proximity to the Auckland museum and medical facilities, but the surrounding area is pleasant for a walk. The neighborhood is safe and charming, with beautiful gardens nearby. You could walk or take public transportation to the CBD, but we opted to take a short drive to Mount Eden to enjoy the sunset over the city and had dinner nearby. Overall, we had a fantastic one night stay and would not hesitate to return again.

Everything about this hotel was excellent! The location is fantastic; far enough away from the bustle of the city to be peaceful, but close enough to get anywhere you want to go. It's very close to a rose garden, which is very nice. The staff was attentive, friendly, and professional. The room was very clean, spacious, and had every amenity we could need. There was a full seating area, outdoor patio, and full kitchen with a large fridge. The bathroom was also very clean, large, and even had a towel warmer!
