City Lodge

"Thin walls, hard to catch a lick of sleep. Reception is super loud and doesn't know what headphones are when they're watching TikTok. Room smelt strongly of chemicals. Don't stay here."

"While the location isn't the worst, the rooms and service definitely are. Won't stay again, don't recommend. The room was cold and damp, and not serviced properly once during our stay. Unmade beds, dirty cups and not a clean towel in sight was what awited us when we returned in the evenings. After complaining the second time it happened, it only continued to get worse. There is absolutely no soundproofing at all and the constant noise made sleep almost impossible. The cashier at Vincent Mini Mart across the road, was more friendly than the staff at City Lodge. There is also only a 6 spot parking lot, so you are more than likely going to have to park else where and walk to and from your car. It's not a far distance but still an inconvenience especially with luggage. The communal areas are not too bad, and we did have some interesting conversations, but that doesn't make up for the fact that the rest of the stay was entirely horrific and we couldn't wait to leave!!"

"Booked a room here through Agoda - very good rate, and excellent location. A few things to take note of though - amenities listed on other sites, like hairdryers and document safes are NOT available at location, and room doors only have the doorknob lock on them, no additional chain lock. Was quite surprised when they took a bond from me from checking in, meaning there's a history of guests damaging the rooms. Received it back in full without incident upon check out, but something to be aware of. Found that the best food to eat around there is either along Queen street, about 10-15 minutes walk away, or near Intercity Bus Terminal, about 10-12 minutes walk away. Wifi had a bad habit of dropping out, but I was probably sharing with dozens of other guests, so to be expected. Clean rooms, relative quiet, but nothing fancy. I'd stay there again if I was going through."

"Excellent location, parking mustn't be a given as it was unavailable when we arrived and we had to find parking elsewhere. Rooms are big enough for staying a night to a week but any longer than that you might be over it as the bed is quite close to the door, so noise from the hallway could be an issue. In saying that though, it is fairly priced. Also there is the communal kitchen you can access if you need."

"Been in Auckland for work 5 months now and moved around a bit.. This would be the most comfortable and professional budget accommodation ice had in Akld. Reception have been friendly and helpful. Good clean kitchen facilities and a great social area....free pool, ping-pong, board games etc. Recommend!"
