Barclay Suites,

74 Albert Street, Auckland CBD, Auckland 1010

"Great value. We had a 2 room apartment and they both have their own bathrooms. Well equipped kitchen. Access is hampered at the moment due to the works in Albert St, but don't let that put you off. A Hollywood cafe is next door and a superette is tight around the corner. Highly recommend."

"Kind of a mess right now with road construction in front of the hotel. Convenient location for sights and shopping downtown. Not a charming lobby, and just 4-5 suites per floor with concrete hallway walls that felt stark. The suite was more than ample - full kitchen, living room, washing machine in the en suite bathroom - with a reasonable breakfast spot on the corner next door."

"We booked a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment for 3 nights. As soon as we arrived in the room we noticed a horrible stench which became worse when we turned on the heat pump. The furniture looked as though it had never been cleaned and there was rubbish between the cushions. The kitchen area had visible damage and the shower had mould along the entire seal of the door. The lock on the balcony sliding door in one of the bedrooms was faulty and wouldn’t unlock. This, paired with the stench coming from the heat pump meant there was no fresh airflow in the already stuffy and smelly room. We asked the reception staff if maintenance could come and take a look and was told they could not come until 3 days later (which was when we were due to check out). A staff member told us the lock was jammed due to the roadworks currently happening in front of the building, causing the building to move. We then asked if we could change rooms which the staff allowed. This secondary room was a slight improvement but yet again, the furniture was not any cleaner. The washing machine/dryer smelt foul and we found a sock in it. The staff were kind however, due to the uncleanliness and horrible condition of the rooms - I would NOT stay here again."

"Great amenities in the apartment. We booked the Deluxe 2 Bedroom suite for 4 of us. 2 bedrooms (queen bed), 2 bathrooms, living room, dining area and fully equipped kitchen (there's dishwasher, fridge, microwave etc). Walking distance to most eating places and Sky tower."

"Positive : The location was great, it was in the center of the city. Near many store. The room nice, clean and spacious Negative : 1. When we first checked in (we booked 2 rooms), They gave us the room which is already occupied by other guest. 2. The fire alarm was set off in the middle of the night. And all of us need to go outside the building. When we needed to get back up to our room, we needed to wait quite long because the lift is only 2. 3. Our table lamp in the room, exploded when plug in. And the electricity died in our room so they needed to move us to different room. We booked 1 room for 3 people and the new room they gave us only fit 2 people. 4. At 5 am, the receptionist knocked our door, waking all of us up. And when we answer our door, the receptionist is with random guy (probably drunk) and he asked us if we knew the guy. When we tell him that we didn't knew him the receptionist only said "OK" and left. This was probably my worst experience in an hotel and we only stayed there for one night."
