The SKYCITY Grand Hotel is not the usual type of hotel I would choose to stay in. By nature I prefer a more classically styled property like The Goring in London or The Observatory Hotel in Sydney. I was in Auckland on business and the location suited. I must say I was somewhat surprised, my room was on the 18th... more

Needless to say, this hotel has great location. Right inside of the Skycity complex and very close to other attractions, too. The hotel lobby is very stylish, room is nice and spacious. The east day spa products in the bathroom are delightful. The decoration in the room is geared towards a more modern style. I was surprised to see a... more

I live in Auckland, but me and my boyfriend stayed here for a night out together. We loved this hotel - the lobby is stunning and the rooms beautifully decorated, and extremely clean. We are students, so staying in a 5 star hotel was really just a novelty for us (at a really great rate of $175 for one night)!... more

The hotel is right next to the Skytower so it’s a great location to explore the city. I was on the 9th floor and was disappointed with the view I had, couldn’t see much of the city, and couldn’t even see the top of the tower, but did get commanding views over some air-con units! The room was very smart,... more

We stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of our New Zealand vacation. I was expecting a typical business type hotel not particularly suited to tourists but I was very wrong. The hotel is located right downtown, walking distance to everything a tourist could want. The service was exceptional, the room very nice and very clean. it's attached to... more

Stayed at this hotel for a few nights while attending a convention next door. It is a perfect location for this purpose or any business trip but the hotel is not particularly inviting for tourists - somehow lacking in character (like most large, city hotels). The hotel is modern and clean. The view from our room was of other hotel... more

The Sky City Grand in Auckland really is special, clean, spacious, modern, contemporary, stylish, but best of all....... affordable. I booked online and got a great deal, had a smashing room, with a great view over Auckland. I couldn't find fault with the place. I was last here 2.5 yrs ago, and it was just as good, if not better.... more

Good Solid 5 Star property. Staff were attentive. Rooms very new and well appointed. Central location was great. Restaurants were also very good - the Tapas bar was outstanding although had limited wine choices. Will be back. more

This is a great hotel. It's very comfortable, the service is great, it's clean, it's well situated. In fact, it has everything in common with Auckland itself - including its lack of soul or character. It's perfect for stop overs (and be careful that you don't arrive when the coach loads of OAPs from the cruise ships check in -... more
