Auckland Rose Park Hotel

“What an improvement!”

It's always been comfortable and i stay regulalry, but the recent refurbishment has done wonders for the place.

It's always been comfortable and i stay regulalry, but the recent refurbishment has done wonders for the place. Really like the bathrooms and new TV set up, the paint job of the main building really tidied it up. Can't wait for the upcoming upgrades as well. So good to finally have a very, very good quality family accommodation option on the city fringe. Just can't be beat.

“Nice hotel, let down by some of it's staff”

Situated as the name suggests, next to the beautiful Parnell Rose garden. About a 30 minute walk from Britomart train station or 10 minutes on the 755 bus.

Situated as the name suggests, next to the beautiful Parnell Rose garden. About a 30 minute walk from Britomart train station or 10 minutes on the 755 bus. Check in, was a strange affair, the young lady clearly missed the charm school bit of her training as we found her quite sharp and abrupt, however I will say, most, if not all of her colleagues did attend. But I will say, “first impressions are lasting.” The room, on the ground floor, so subject to a bit of road noise, was large and airy, nice big, bed, but as seems normal in NZ, slightly soft. The shower/wet room was nice and large, but strangely a large step to the shower. The tv had many channels, which included sports channels. Breakfast was a buffet, with a typical, NZ/Aus selection of tinned pears & peaches, but also included fresh fruit, yogurts, bread, pastries etc… hot food included sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs hash browns and and orientalist selection. Fried and poached eggs available to order. One other frustrating incident, on one day, our rooms not serviced, we’d left the towels on the shower floor, so couldn’t really re-use them, also, we’d used the coffee cups and glasses. We reported this to the reception, who apologised and said they be up shortly… they weren’t, so we took the used towels, cups and glasses to reception on our way to the restaurant. Upon our return, they still weren’t replaced, we had to remind them, when they were replaced, the cups and glasses were not. Again, another trip to reception. Evening meals at the restaurant were good value and well prepared, and the waiter (didn’t get his name, but should have done, tall with moustache and long hair in a ponytail) gave great customer service.

“Take earplugs”

I was in room 230, which was incredibly noisy. From 4.45am I could hear a large group gathering to get on their tour bus. After being kept awake by people returning late at night and hearing every word as they came back to their rooms this was not the ‘sleep’ I had hoped for. The hotel is recently… more

I was in room 230, which was incredibly noisy. From 4.45am I could hear a large group gathering to get on their tour bus. After being kept awake by people returning late at night and hearing every word as they came back to their rooms this was not the ‘sleep’ I had hoped for. The hotel is recently renovated but parts of the room are already showing signs of wear, such as the tea and coffee area where the particle board is starting to peel. The bathrooms are modern and fresh and the beds are comfortable

PARNELL ROSE GARDEN DELIGHT Straight across the road from the renowned Parnell Rose Gardens stands the Auckland Rose Park Hotel. Comparatively, room rates are acceptable and rooms are of good condition as the place appears to have had a refurbished recently. Service was a bit light on the ground to enable us to get the better room rates such as one person at reception and a cook and a waiter at restaurant and cleaning staff stretch to the limit. ADVICE: Give them a try.
