Celestion Waldorf Apartment Hotel

Location was within walking distance of ferry and lots of little shops and restaurants. Immediate location wasn't that great, but a 5-10 minute walk got you into some nice walk-around areas. "Modern" decor, with lots of concrete showing. Staff changed out towels every day, which was a nice touch (and not seen in all apartments).

I was on holiday in Auckland for a couple of days. My room was beautiful, flawless, and the hotel is in a good location, close to the action downtown. I had read that there was free wireless internet there; there isn't, though the wired connection is not too expensive. Also, the internet in my room was on the fritz, which turned out to be because of a faulty cord. And the person at reception who checked me in was unfriendly/condescending, which was not a great start to my stay there. Those first few hours of "how did I get tricked into paying for such bad service?" is why I give this hotel only 4 stars.

Only 5 minutes walk to main shopping/dining and to ferry terminal. Close to railway station & museum! Outstanding apartment, clean, fully equipped, great layout, though entrance & reception of hotel do not show the class of this facility.

Checking in was not great as they charged us again for the room which they had to refund. No car parking was available in house and we had to use a car park approx five minute walk away. The room card/keys also did not work and had to be replaced, light bulbs were blown in the room and not working. They were however happy to house our bags all day the next day until we were leaving after we had checked out, although did not take our names or number of bags we were storing. Was quite comfortable and would probably be willing to give it another go.

The hotel was very close to the International Passenger Terminal where I disembarked from my cruise from Australia. The service apartment was clean, comfortable, and spacious. I requested a room far from the elevator and on a high floor. I got exactly what I requested. Would definitely stay here again if I ever find my in Auckland.

Well laid out and comfortable two bedroom with a nice view. Minimal, but workable kitchen for breakfast and cold beer. Comfortable mattresses for all but me (it was too firm for me). Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Parking easy but did add up (although cheaper than the other options and offered in/out service).

Unfortunately the entranceway does not do this hotel justice in that it looks a bit gloomy, however, the rooms are immaculate, the facilities in them are first class the views of the city superb and everything appears to be brand new. We were delighted to have a spare room to put out our laundry (having been away for a week already) and 2 balconies. Skytower is only 10 mins walk and the seafront just round the corner

My two friends and I stayed in this hotel for one night, in a 2br unit. Our room was well appointed and quiet, parking on site was easy (though there are limited spaces available and you get charged >$20), and we were within walking distance of the entire Central Business District. The only downsides were that there was no wireless internet onsite (you could pay for wired service -- and who charges for that now?!--but our iPhones and iPad couldn't connect to that) and we were not permitted to delay our departure past the 10a check-out time (we wanted 10:30a or 11a, but no-go). Also, the staff was friendly, but seemed perplexed by pretty simple questions about getting around town. But overall, we had a good experience.

Lobby area is ok, but great once you get into the actual apartment. Had a an executive apartment which was spacious, comfortable, had great facilities, with modern decor. Reception staff very helpful. Only 5 minutes walk to harbour and shopping.

Units were quite new and comfortable. The biggest problem for us was that there is no on-site parking and we had alot of luggage. This wouldn't be a problem at all if you didn't have a vehicle or a heap of belongings. Although the Wilsons secure parking facility is close by, in the pouring rain with 3 young children it seemed miles away!! The units were nicely kept and clean. It was an easy walk to most points of interest.
