Great location, nice view. Good big bed. Nice sunroom. Old fashioned but well maintained. Room is large with high ceilings. 130 years old, has a lot of character. Right in Devonport. Good price point. Would highly recommend

Way beyond expectations. We booked with the expectation of a room with a view. We were delighted with the private penthouse suite. Better and bigger than our apartment. It had not one but two rooms with a magnificent view of Devonport wharf and Waitemata harbour.

parking is an issue, our room was old which we like but this room needed some tlc. Room and areas were clean and staff was good. If owners ever rejuvenated the property it would be a hot spot for travelers in my opinion. Road to the area is busy and the night views of Auckland are incredible. The bar has limited hours but worked great for us, good light food and drinks with locals.

The facility was in a good location, but it tends to need more care. The restaurant was not open. Overall, this old hotel is a unique place to stay, which was a good choice.

Oozes character. Slightly zany, antithesis of smart city centre hotel. Love it

We appreciate that it is an old hotel so expect the rooms to reflect that. The experience would be better if there was attention to small details like ensuring there is sufficient toilet paper in the room (we had to ask and the response was very flat to be honest). We could think of a number of small things that if they were present would make the world of difference.

Got what I wanted, A historic hotel and a fabulous view of Auckland. Room was dated and mattress OK at best but oh that View.

The staff was so accommodating! We ended up needing an extra night so we booked via a different website and the staff combined our two reservations and even switched us rooms when a fan wasn’t working to an upgraded view! We were so extremely comfortable and it was the perfect location right in main Devonport a one minute walk to the ferry which we took everyday downtown.

I love old heritage buildings so to stay in one was my cuppa tea. My room had a great view. Location was awesome, walking distance to so many places. I would definitely stay there again.
