It is near the Queen Street. That's the point I choose this hotel. However, it needs to walk up a slope road and not easy even with the case. But room are big and clean.

There was no parking.We had to pay quite a bit to park at night then go to the car park in the moring. We were there for 2 days and thought the towels would have been changed. Entering the room was smelly, curry smell /toilet had need refreshing. Airing required.

Dissappointing For The Price”
While this Waldorf is well located near to Britomart I would encourage you to look elsewhere. Price is comparable to other apartment-hotels in Auckland but this one is significantly worse quality. The room was small, dark, and not especially clean. There is no reception area or lobby - you just get 'buzzed in'. Overall a really underwhelming experience.

Bankside Waldorf dirty and uncomfortable”
There are not 3 good things about this hotel.
The bed mattress was as thin and hard as a rock. The bed doona had no cover and was wafer thin. The heater did not work. The apartment stank like rotten feet. The shower and toilet have public facility soap dispensers. The oven was filthy. The ice tray was fully choked with ice. The apartment was never cleaned once by housekeeping. The coffee and milk was not replenished. The sofa stank like sweat and bottom. The carpets were stained all over and felt dirty. Complimentary wi-fi was not setup as promised. The TV was about 20 years old and made my eyes hurt watching it.

Pros and Cons”
modern, clean, location
Checking in was a bit tricky and was later than usual (3pm). The room was clean and modern and had kitchen and washing facilities. It was well located. The bed was very hard and very cold. The room heater didn't seem to reach the bed area of the room. The washer/dryer was very noisy and vibrated a lot. We stayed for 4 nights and our stay would have been very comfortable if the bed had been better.

Overrated place”
location, location, location
Its was ok, but it wasn't as expected. I stayed in service apartments but they had reception, room would be cleaned every day. The rooms in this apartments get cleaned once a week, that is if you stay there a week. There is no proper reception and the office gets closed at 6pm. If you lock yourself out after 6pm you pay a fine. We stayed there as a couple, maybe it would be better for families or if you wanted to stay there long term, but for a short trip, you are better off going to a proper hotel

Apartment provide great living and you don't need to bring anything as they provide everything. On the downside it's quite a climb to get to the main door, bed can be small and everything rather narrow (in room as well as bathroom). Location wise it's very near to anything and anywhere. Love it there!

Excellent staff. Good location. Equipment disappoi”
Staff helped quickly and efficiently with problems of the studio. Nearby Queen street. Equipment complete incl. oven, washing and dishwasher machine and microwave.
Only stayed for 2 nights. When I checked in the elevators were not working. This is not good for an 18 floor apartment building. It was fixed later in the afternoon. The heater in the room was a small plastic electric heater and it overheated quickly and shutdown before the room is warm enough. Staff replaced it immediately upon complaint. Door key stopped working when I returned after diner and reception was already closed at 8pm. Phone number to call wasn't answered but luckily someone was still present in the office/receptionist room and replaced my key. TV satellite signal was too often too weak making watching a movie difficult. Despite the above negatives the studio was OK and I think I was just unlucky with the key and heater. And the issues I had were resolved quickly. Would I return. Maybe, because price/location was good.

Frustrating. ”
Centrally located
The booked carpark was not available for the first day. The room was not very clean. It was the most poorly maintained room I had ever stayed in. Everything was either broken or wouldn't work. After the first night we complained about the state of the room & were moved to another which was fine but I feel that first room should never have been allocated to anyone in the first place.
