Rydges Auckland

Overall I was disappointed by the hotel. I was assigned a room with a narrow window above eye level - very odd, if felt like I was in a basement - see photo. The hallway outside my room was under construction during the entirety of my stay. In hindsight, I should have requested a different room. My colleagues had rooms with full windows.||The room was clean and overall pretty quiet, which is why I gave my review 3 stars instead of 2 stars. The bed was also comfortable. However the room clearly needs to be updated. The shower fittings were loose and a few things seemed to be on the verge of breaking. Only instant coffee was provided but fortunately there was fresh milk in the refrigerator.||Breakfast food was below average, I avoided the scrambled eggs because they were very runny. Little fresh fruit, most of it was canned. Fortunately, eggs could be made to order and delivered to your table.||I had salmon for dinner one night and it was really dry and hard. It must have been frozen for a long time and then overcooked.||I could never connect my laptop to the hotel wifi, despite trouble shooting. No problem with other hotel wifi connections before and after this stay.

We stayed for one night at Rydges recently. We were given an upgrade on the room so ended up on a high floor with an excellent view over the city looking towards the harbour bridge. A good size room with a super comfy king size bed. The location suited us as we were there on business and was central to our needs, we took advantage of the valet parking rather than trying to find suitable parking ourselves which can sometimes be a hassle in a city location. Ample choice for breakfast - all in all Rydges offered good value and we would return should we need to go back to Auckland city.

Great place to stay and in the middle of everything. A good start for exploring New Zealand. Clean with a very good very healthy breakfast. I would stay here again.|Thermostat worked good. Shower could be hot if you like. Beds were comfortable.

Very,pleasantly surprise. Booking for room including full buffet breakfast cheap so wasn't expecting the best. However lovely clean room with view of Auckland Harbour. Really good city location. OMG bed so comfy and some other guests agreed. And the breakfast was delicious with so many choices. Thrilled to see Black Doris Plums. HIGHLY RECOMMEND (especially too because of affordability)

The good:- The room was comfortable. Good central location close to the sky tower. The bad:- Lobby out of a low class establishment. No one to assist with luggage. No on-site parking. Room A/C set to 15⁰. Restaurant, burnt meal fairly tasteless. Overall:- Look elsewhere.

Good location, right next to the tower, and close to the harbour. The room was nicely decorated with a very comfortable bed and it was close yo the lift. We had a bottle of water in the room and lots of space for our suitcases. The shower was good and lots of hot water. The breakfast had a good choice of hot and cold items and catered for all tastes.

This chain of hotels is consistently to a very good standard. Rooms are clean with plenty of space. King Size beds are comfortable.||Excellent location for the bus station to the airport, circa 5 minutes walk. Also, adjacent to the Sky Tower. About 20 minutes slow walk to Downtown and the Waterfront.||Reasonable prices for the quality of the room.
