Bed for the night”

I've stayed at City Lodge a few times now and for different reasons (business, social) but this time all I needed was a bed for the night to get a rest between an action packed weekend of activities. It is in a good location with on-site parking available (limited spaces & fees apply)and mostly downhill walking to the city and Viaduct (of course all uphill on the way back). Rooms are compact but comfortable with an ensuite, small fridge & tea/coffee facilities. Full communal kitchen also available for guests to use with shared lounge spaces also on offer. This is not a luxury hotel but has absolutely all you need for an overnight stay. Secure & safe it is a good option for single female travellers as well as families/ groups.

Exceptional”

Quiet area, room is small but new, clean and comfortable, share kitchen is big and perfect, lift for up and down, 8 minutes walk to sky towel and Asian market, near bus station, wonderful and smiling staff

Fantastic Location”

Their tourist information booklet in the room was excellent. Gave places to visit, buses to catch with times and prices, places to eat that were close and much more. There was a kitchen available if you wanted to cook meals and a mini market across the road. Tea, coffee and a fridge in the room. Shower doors could do with an up-grade but the room was very clean. Staff were very friendly. Only drawback was had to pay for internet. $6 nz for 24 hours. Had a weekly rate available.

Nice place for one night. ”

It was good for the price although it’s small so it wouldn’t be good for more than a few nights. Only issue was that the bathroom and shower floor was covered in hair and clearly had not been cleaned.

Very happy ”

Have stayed before and still happy

Very good”

really bad that wifi is charged for - this is not international standard room very basic, paint coming off the shower wall and ceiling. Remote for TV hardly worked. very loud at night due to street noise. I found it expensive for what was on offer - although all of Auckland city seems to be overpriced. Staff were friendly and hepful

Eagles stay Feb 19.”

The hotel is located on a busy street, However the external noise was very evident and even though I closed the windows, I did not get a good night's sleep. I think that a lot of students also live in the area and think it is ok to play loud music? If you needed to contact the front office on the ground floor, you would need to use the stairs or lift as there is no phone in the room. The bathroom light was not working which more an lying than anything else. The Thad a limit on the volume which was not ideal given the external noise made it difficult to hear.

Basic but ideal”

I had 2 stays here, at the beginning & then again at the end of my holiday. I had a single room which is basic accomodation with the luxury of a fridge in the room with milk in there on arrival. Location wise it is a bit noisey from traffic on one side of the building but the ceiling fan helps if windows need to be shut overnight. Laundry & kitchen both more than adequate for simple needs. Staff very helpful & attentive on both visits. I would stay again.

Great choice”

The room is better than the pictures. Very comfy and quiet. There's a hugh kitchen down the basement, you can cook there. Everything is great. Will visit again.

Exceptional”

Always excellent. Clean, friendly, quiet and great value for money. This is my go-to choice for staying overnight in the City.

Cozy single room”

Located a bit far from city center, Room is tidy and cozy, Nzd$6 for 24hrs unlimited WiFi, Overall, valuable for single traveler.

Amazing comfortable stay. ”

Very clean room with all the basics. There was no hair dryer in the room but it was promptly arranged by the front desk staff. Also the heater was not working and the staff arranged a portable one. Amazing service. I would definitely recommend this place.

excellent value for money”

A great place at a great price! Staff are so friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and well-laid out. The communal facilities are fantastic. Totally recommended to all. The active commitment to the environment is what will sway me to stay here again and again as a regular business traveller.

Best budget accommodations in Auckland”

Fabulous budget accommodations. If you just need a place to leave your stuff and sleep at night, this is the place. Parking on the street was pretty easy and an easy walk into CBD or short Uber ride to other locations. The bed moved a bit and wasn't the most comfortable. Walls are a tad thin and no AC, but you get decent ventilation through the window.

The owner is a very kind person”

The owner, Mr. Hwang is so nice and helpful. He has a lovely German Shepard, Max. Omg.. I miss Max already. I like people who love dogs. The location is great, just in the front of lakeside. The view is prefect. They provide many cooking tools in room kitchen, microwave, etc. Must stay there again next time and visit Max again :) happy holiday!

Clean, affordable accommodation”

The room we selected has all the basic facilities and we even got a room with a good view of the Sky Tower. There’s a decently equipped kitchen and community area at the Basement Level. We played pool and ping pong while waiting for our clothes to complete the wash and drying cycles ($4 each). You can also borrow a clothes rack and dry your clothes in your room. Hotel is in the city, walking distance to restaurants and quite a few attractions. Staff is friendly. We noticed that Auckland city is pretty much up and down hill nearly everywhere we go. Reception is 24 hours and can help to book a Super Shuttle to the airport. Overall we had a pleasant stay at Ciry Lodge and would highly recommend it.

Nice budget hotel”

Stayed in private single room ensuite. Room is small but got all the things I needed for 2-night stay. Convenient with a one-dollar city circle bus stop near to hotel. Sky bus stop is also only 2 streets away. Food shops are in walking distance. Only the matress is too old that it is so uncomfortable.

Good price for a solo traveller”

This is a good option for a solo traveller in Auckland city center, 10 minutes walk to everywhere. coming back from the city center on foot is little bit of a climb, but this is Auckland so be prepared. I enjoyed the stay but the single rooms are the minimum for a single person is very small but this is what you need basically.

Great location, friendly staff, clean kitchen”

The single room is very small but with everything you’ll need. The walls are thin. You’ll hear everything next door or on the hallway. The room is generally clean. I don’t feel comfortable with beddings. The comforter shaped weirdly. The pillow in my room smells like someone’s grease hair, bad, they change pillow case soon on my request. The location is great. Big and clean kitchen with utensils provided. Laundry room is clean. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Unexpectedly great!”

My wife and I were not expecting a lot for what we paid, but it turned out to be great. Really enjoyed the staff, great location, very clean, nice facilities in the basement if you wanted to save further money and prepare your own meals. Nice neighborhood, walkable distances to the harbour. Near a nice little park (Myers). Lots of food options nearby. On the minus side, very small rooms, but well set up. No air conditioning, but a very functional ceiling fan. It never once gave us that uneasy travellers feeling that we were in a questionable area or a dodgy establishment. Well managed, very nice staff, both at the front desk and cleaning. A bargain.
