Hotel Auckland Bayswater

The receptionist was really friendly and checking in was super fast and easy. Time at the hotel was peaceful and extremely relaxing. Highly recommend this establishment.

The location is perfect, located in the heart of the city centre, 1 mins walk to the nearest countdown/woolworth. You can find anything you need in the area, you name it, you will find it. It is best for traveller first leg in New Zealand. There is a big common area, You get to meet a lot of backpackers which you can exchange information. Highly recommended. The only short is that the water in the shower is too low, it is like spraying water on you.

Very conveniently located in CBD-- e.g., just a very short walk to Sky Tower, a 15 min. walk to the wharf (such as to the ferry building for getting to Waiheke Island) or up to K-Street. The included breakfast had ample choices for myself, a vegan. The kitchenette was also functional. The gym is small but has enough in there to have a good fitness routine. Onsite parking in basement was also a plus, though a bit on the pricy side (NZ$20 per 24 hours). I would stay here again on any return trip to Auckland, NZ.

I like the place and by the name itself it’s already a very clean and stylish as well as first class. But, unfortunately when we came to the hotel our rooms not ready yet and we have to wait for more than an hour. We booked the hotel for a long time and we checked in late but the hotel personnel did not inform us beforehand that our rooms not yet ready which is really inconvenient. The other thing my son complained about is that there ‘s no microwave where we can heat the baby food or milk. We’ve been to other hotels before and microwave’s included in the rooms. Probably it’s our negligence too for not checking before booking the rooms. But hope in the future we expect that if we book the rooms before hand at least the staff will inform us if it’s not yet ready so we can plan ahead and not rush to check in.

Excellent choice if you are traveling with kids.  The room was very clean and well equipped.  The kids loved their own separate sleeping area which had a single bed and a bunk bed that is capable of housing up to 4 kids.  Room price included a complimentary visit to the top of the sky tower.

it was good for location and i booked on short notice, spacious and central in city

It could have been a good stay with its superb location, direct access to Queen’s street and good value for money. The hygiene of the room was actually standard, but one day when returning to our room, I found my pajamas that were left on the bed thrown on the floor after the house keeping service. Probably the house keeper is used to doing this when making the bed but this time forgot to put them back. No matter what I felt very uncomfortable with what I’ve seen.

The location of Barclay Suites is great, although the area is currently under road work construction out front. The reception staff were very friendly and accommodating to any of our queries and needs. The two bedroom, two bathroom suite was very convenient to have on our travels. It is a great offering not many of the other hotels have. The cleanliness was not up to par, however, as there was multiple stained furniture pieces, pillow cases along with debris, dirt, and dust present throughout the unit. Unit could use a very good thorough cleaning to bring it up to standard. Further, the two in one washer dryer is not very good. Made our whites grey, and did not dry properly. The cycles are hours, some 4 hours plus long, so it’s not really efficient or useable at all.

Here is the city, the hotel is in the lane, if you stay in the evening, there is no special attention to the entrance, you will not find the way when you check in. The overall environment is clean and comfortable, and there are lively shopping malls nearby.

Wonderful stay. Very nice room with comfortable beds and a large glass desk. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. Location is great. 10-15 minute walk to the port, 5 minute walk to Sky Tower. Lots of restaurants and shops within a one minute to 5 minute walk from hotel
