The Oaks Smartstay Apartments is a convenient, inexpensive option for travelers wanting a little more room and the convience of self contained facilities. The Apartments are modern and tastefully furnished. However..... ...while one bedroom had good ventilation, the other bedroom (where our 2 boys slept......for at least part of the night) was frightfully stuffy even with the airconditioing running at... more

After touring around New Zealand for a while recently I had two nights back in Auckland before flying home to wind down and to see a little more of the city and stayed at this suite hotel in the city centre and can give it a positive review. The location on Hobson is within 6 blocks or so of the... more

We found this an excellent place to stay. Superb facilities include a full kitchen' dishwasher and washing machine. The rooms are quite new and spacious. The hotel itself was very peaceful throughout the stay. The only gripe we had was them attempting to charge us $60 for a cot for three nights, despite them never telling us there was a... more

I booked at the Oaks on Hobson based on TripAdvisor reviews and pricing. I had no idea what to expect from a 'serviced apartment, but my family likes to have cooking facilities and makes no use of minibars and room service, so we thought it was an exceptionally nice hotel, rather than anything less serviced. True, the common spaces were... more

Great property, great location at an affordable price. Had a two bedroom apartment for a 5 day stay. Well appointed for 2 adults and 1 child. Would definitely stay here again. Only drawback is the property is not serviced - but this can be arranged at cost - and it took 3 days to work out how to correctly use... more

Stayed at Oaks on Hobson for 2 nights, coinciding with the Christmas Parade in Auckland which was nice. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance from Queen St and Sky City, although to get to the Sky City one has to walk past the City Mission (which is really okay) which is located between Oaks and the Sky City,... more

My husband and I returned in September/October for our second stay with Oaks on Hobson. We had previously stayed November 06 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, although the staff were not too friendly. This time however I couldnt fault them for anything, and we were particularly pleased with the service provided by Margaret who was helpful, curteous and kind. We... more

3 night stay at the end of a NZ trip. For the price this was a good apartment - close to everything in the city, reasonable clean, but not that big. The apartments did feel a bit more claustrophobic than others we had stayed in. The bathroom is quite basic and we could hear every step taken by the people... more

The Oaks on Hobson is a reasonbly priced, newish, apartment based hotel that is well priced for what it offers. The only downsides to it are location(near a rough, street dwellers area) the slight crampedness of the rooms, and the lack of parking. (which can add $20 a day to your rate). If you are going to be out and... more
