"Blown away!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Apr 30, 2012
For the price I would have expected to find 1/10th the quality. Location perfect for strolling Auckland's CBD. Well done, thank you!

"Big and Beautiful Hotel"Reviewed by Julie A of "NJ" on Apr 17, 2012
Loved the hotel and all it had to offer. My only complaint was about the 1/2 hour it took for the staff to bring our bags to the room...should have just taken them up ourselves. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

"Bianco off Queen"Reviewed by Ginny B of "Charlotte, MI" on Apr 10, 2012
love the concept of serviced apartments - had everything needed, including our own washer and dryer, nice complimentary continental breakfast delivered to our room each day, separate bedrooms and bathrooms. Only concern was couch was not very comfortable.

On a peninsula overlooking scenic Waitemata Harbour, Auckland CBD is not only the country’s major business centre, but plays host to a concentration of artistic and cultural venues in addition to nightlife precincts. In more recent years, much of the waterfront has been reclaimed for high-end residential apartments, trendy cafes and bars, marinas, and public recreational use.

"My stay at Rydges Auckland, a technology disaster!"
I checked in, as I have elsewhere in the US and Australia as well as New Zealand. I connected my laptop to collect email and upon check out received a $4,500.00 bill for data usage. I did not down load movies, music or large files. The hotel "negotiated with their ISP a reduction of the charge to $800.00! I did not have this happen anywhere else during […] my three weeks stay in Syndney, Brisbane or again back in Auckland at another hotel. Read more

"Centrally located, with nice appointments"
It was a great stay at the hotel. The bed was comfortable, the room was outfitted in a modern style, and the location was convenient to everything but still on a quiet street. The only thing that we would have preferred was a bathtub, or at least a shower where water didn't pour all over the floor (thought he bathoroom looked quite stylish, the partial […] glass wall did not prevent water from spraying all out by the toilet area). But overall, a very nice stay! Read more

"Loved this hotel"
Great location and very helpful staff. Free Internet for guests. I would stay here again.
"Wonderful location"
Very comfortable stay at this hotel. Can be noisy as it is downtown, so you may want to request upper floors if you are a light sleeper. Absolutely no complaints.

"Great hotel in a great location"
The most comfortable beds I have ever slept in -- very luxurious. Everything in the city was within walking distance, especially the pier for the cruises. I think towels say a lot about the quality of a hotel and the towels here were thick and fluffy.

"Rydges Aukland-good choice"
Hotel itself was excellent. Location was a little further from waterfront than what I anticipated. Neighborhood was downtown commercial: No ambiance but very convenient for restaurants, ATM, sights. Valet parking service was very convenient. We had a car which made it easier to get around town. In house-restaurant excellent. Join Rydges frequent stayer […] club (free) for good restaurant discount. Excellent lobby coffee/pastry service for quick getaway. Very friendly and helpful staff Read more
"Rydges Harbourview Auckland"
Great stay and location. Everything I needed to see Auckland without a car. Airport bus, City Link bus were great and cheap way to get around.
"Nicely Upscale"
This stay was great. Helpful staff, attractive room and decor. Couldn't have asked for more.
"Rydges Auckland-Newly Renovated!"
We got to our hotel before check-in after a long flight from LA and they graciously found us a room that was ready early. They had newly renovated and the room was very luxurious and comfortable.
"great value"
clean. efficient staff. convenient location. nicely furnished.
"The Modern Heart of Auckland"
A couple of blocks from Sky Tower and Queen Street the hotel is modern, spotlessly clean, with friendly and helpful staff and reasonable rates. The rooms have large panoramic windows (the outside walls are practically all glass) and I could see the Sky Tower out one side and just the city skyline out the other. Rooms are good size, with armchair and […] a desk, beds are comfortable.. If there's one thing I wished for it would be a Euro-style handheld shower head.. I'd definitely stay there again. Read more

"Great room for the money"
Nice hotel in a location near all Auckland attractions
"Uphill Location"
We were put in a room facing the neighboring office block on a low floor. The room is clean with all the basic amenities. Bathroom is old but nevertheless clean. We had a bit of struggle towing our luggage to the hotel after stepping off the Airbus. The breakfast included was very good but the renovation work at the lobby being done with minimal […] cover was a negative. It is unlikely we would go back. Read more
"Nice, clean hotel"
The hotel was very comfortable, we had a nice stay overall. The room was adequate with two double beds as we were three persons in the room. The bathroom was very clean as well. Nice view of the city too. The only reason I rated it a 4 on some counts was because we requested the room be serviced and it was not. We hung the sign on the doorknob requesting […] the room be services--really we just wanted the beds made up and towels replenished, with 3 to a room you can understand how a run on towels can occur. Anyway, I'd recommend calling in your request to the front desk if you want your room serviced and that should solve any problem there. Read more
"Great hotel, close to everything"
We stayed in a dump the night before so a closet would have been an upgrade but, this hotel was great. Right in the heart of downtown, walking distance to the harbor and everything. The wifi signal is weak in the rooms but it's free...which is extremely rare in New Zealand.

"Very handy location for our show at The Civic."
Both couples enjoyed their stay, found it was an easy walk to The Civic theatre and not too far from The Wynyard Quarter/Viaduct areas. Our only negative comment would be that each room (we booked 2) were charged for drinks that we never consumed. Fortunately my husband was quick to alert Rydges to this error, had great staff assistance and was able […] to sort it out. Read more
OK - but i was disappointed that I could not get the internet service to work in my room. I was connected to a help desk person but they could not help me sort out the problem either - I think it related to the slow band speeds in the hotel.
"Close to Civic Centre"
We booked this hotel as it was close to Civic Centre where Jersey Boys was playing. The airport bus dropped us off in Queen Street and it was about an 8 - 10 minute walk to the hotel. It is uphill but not overly strenuous. Rydges was a nice hotel we were very pleased with it.
Average hotel. Difficult to trace the hotel.
would come back again and reccomend to others
"Good for Location but nothing else"
The only thing good about this hotel was its location. Other than that It has nothing to offer. We found its bathroom smallest I have ever seen with a very mediocore room.
We like our stay in Rydges. The front desk staff are very friendly and helpful and the room is very clean and confortable. Hotel is very close to shopping street and has a supermarket nearby. We will stay here next time.

Excelent Hotel in very convenient location,very reasonable Rates,and an excelent Restaraunt.
"Ideally situated"
This is a very comfortable hotel, ideally situated in the cdb, the reception area is good, and all the staff obliging, when possible we always stay there.
"Good location, good staff, ordinary rooms"
My partner and I stayed for 3 nights. The location was good, an easy walk down to the harbour and one block from the SkyTower. The rooms were clean but standard. I had a choice of two rooms, both of which were facing the apartment block next door which meant we had to keep the curtains fully closed the whole time which wasn't very nice. Try and get […] in the new part of the building, which was opened in 2010. The staff were very helpful and they made the stay decent. I had booked the standard king room and they offered us a free upgrade to a newer room but we ended up choosing the older room as it had a bigger bed which we needed for my tall partner. The concierge was great, very helpful and enthusiastic. Read more
"could have been good.."
With more than 150 travel days yearly, I usually I only take the time to write a rating of a Hotel if it is either very good or dissapointing bad. Unfortunately Rydges fall into to last category. The price did not put expectations up for extravagancy but it did make me expect a decent business level hotel. Somehow the surface looks ok, danish designer […] furniture in the lobby and a slick modern ground floor restaurant. But it seems like it do not have that influence of a management perspective looking at everything from top to buttome and correcting the small bits and pieces. E.g. I spilled som coffee in bed and left the stain exposed to to have the sheet changed.. did not happen. Minibar was not automatically refilled and I had to call two times to make it happen. Breakfast was around 30 kiwi $ with a terrible too creamy pre-made scrambled egg and bacon which was more like a pile of boiled thin sliced port. The above is just what comes into my mind a week later, but all to say it was far from good experience but I should say not terrible either. Just no touch of anything but below average in all ways.

"good location but........"
No problems with the hotel however when I made an enquiry about antique shops in Auckland, staff had no idea but despite not being busy, didn't offer to check the internet for us or make any enquiries. Mini bar prices were exhorbitant - $5 for a $1 bottle of water. Really! Good location - easy walk to plenty of eating places and the piers. Parking is […] adjacent and a reasonable cost for the city. Bed was okay but only 2 bath towels for 2 adults so none spare for hair-washing. Bring back the days where 4 1/2 star hotels provided extra towels in the roooms. Plenty of pillows & reasonable variety. Easy access from the motorway despite lots of one way streets - take the Nelson Street exit then a right onto Victoria & left into Federal. Hotel is on your left. Read more

"Rydges Auckland, New Zealand"
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at this hotel. It was in a very convenient location, right in the city. The room was spacious, very modern and clean, and the bed was so comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly; we arrived very late on a Saturday night and were made to feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. We chose to have […] breakfast brought to our room and it was delivered on time, and the cost was very reasonable. I would not hesitate in recommending this hotel to anyone who is staying in Auckland, I can't praise it enough. Read more
