Best Hotels near Penrose Train Station, Auckland

The hotel is 17 kilometers away from the airport. If you are not detoured, you will take a taxi for more than 30 New Zealand dollars. The taxi at the airport entrance is more pitted. It is best to take a local online car. The hotel is located in a business district, very quiet, you can see people at work in the morning, and there are 2 nearby evening restaurants open in the afternoon. The restaurant dishes are good. By the way, I will invite customers to dinner here. The hotel room is fully equipped, I really like to have a dry towel rack, and there is no pressure to wash clothes. The hotel does not have breakfast. There are three breakfast shops in the right turn for a few minutes. The one contributed in the picture is very good. Friendly reminder, the hotel closes at 8 pm, you need to swipe your room card to enter, if the arrival time is late, you must call the hotel in advance to check in the staff; the specified check-out time is 10 o'clock, and you can discuss it until 11 o'clock. In addition, there are colleagues who originally planned to travel together, because they did not know that the Canadian passport to New Zealand also had to apply for a visa, they could not make a trip; fortunately, they bought the room rate insurance when booking, and hoped that the claim would be settled smoothly after the report.

Very nice room and amenities. I will be back in the future as it is also centrally located as well as comfortable. The room had a spa bath and a comfortable bed. It is a short walk from the Ellerslie Village which has multiple cafes, restaurants, bars etc.

Have stayed a few times and represents value for money . Asked for a quiet room and was given one away from the lifts on a higher floor . Rooms are spacious and beds comfortable and lots of pillow choices. Rooms are in need of general maintenance , The bathroom door didnt close in my room which was Ok as travelled on my own however would not have been idea travelling with others. Bad seal on window meant I could hear the wind as it came through gap. Small things that were ok for one night but could be more bothersome if staying longer period.

We were a group of 9 people (2 adults and 7 youth) and we had booked a 6 bedroom and a 4 bedroom apartment. Upon arriving at the Best Western we were advised that we had been given a free room upgrade from a 4 bedroom to a 7 bedroom suite. It was fantastic with enough room for everyone to join in together in one of the apartments for meals etc. In both apartments we had a main bedroom downstairs with kitchen, bathroom etc and then upstairs were the additional beds with own bathroom. Kitchens were big enough for us to cook and make lunches for our day trips. Everything was clean and tidy. The only unfortunate thing was that the 6 bedroom apartment had a lingering smell of fish emanating from the fridge but it was clean and we managed to ignore it.

1. The living environment is elegant and quiet, and the surrounding area is safe and comfortable. 2. It is a 15-minute walk from the nucleic acid detection point and a 25-minute walk from the shopping center. 3. The hotel staff can communicate in Chinese, the service is thoughtful, the attitude is kind, and they have a full sense of security. 4. The hotel is very user-friendly. Even if you check out, you can rest and wait in the living room of the hotel.

TLDR: no aircon, constant power cuts, paper thin walls.. Where do I start. First off there’s no aircon so the rooms are hot and uncomfortable. There are ducted low speed fans which don’t do much. But the biggest problem is the fact the rooms are on what I believe to be motion sensors or some kind of timers so ALL power turns off every 25 seconds, this is not an exaggeration. This includes the lights, jug, the fan - everything. I stubbed my toes in the dark because the lights turned off while I was walking around, and they wouldn’t turn back on. Showering in the dark due the lights constantly on and off. Good luck making a coffee, showering, watching TV or anything without that being interrupted by constant power cuts which drive you mad. I booked the small room. They look small in the photos but even smaller in person and I felt like I was suffocating, the rooms are tiny so heat up like crazy. The smallest hotel room I’ve ever seen. Also the walls are paper thin so I could hear my neighbours conversations word for word.. even with ear plugs. If there was air con and sound proof walls, I could have put up with the extremely small space. Terrible experience. Don’t even bother with this place. The Abstract had a lot of potential as they have decorated it very nicely but they have let themselves down. It is also in a dangerous area of Auckland central so you will want to make sure you are back in your room by dark, lots of drunk homeless people around. After my first night of zero sleep due to the heat, stuffiness and neighbours chatting, I complained and had my room kindly upgraded to a larger one, but the same issues remained of constant power cuts and no air con in that room too. At least it was a bit cooler due to being larger and an extra window, also had no neighbours.. The customer service was pretty good. There is no parking on site so you have to park in a carpark building across the road. The food in the restaurant was average but has a beautiful outdoor dining area which was the highlight.

Loved our stay. It was like hotels used to be. Lots of complimentary items. You could literally just walk in with your clothes. Awesome having a bar and restaurant on site. Parking was excellent. Airport shuttles come to the hotel and it has a heated pool. Highly recommend.

Reminded by their ! I stayed here in February 2020 ( a while back but stick with me). I was there with a work thing so a busy day. I got back to the hotel at about 7pm, had a bath and when I went to let the water out of the bath the water didn't drain. Next thing the plughole in the middle of the bathroom started flooding the room with 'dirty' water. It smelt awful if you know what I mean. I put all the towels on the ground to stop it from getting into my room. I rang reception to say what was happening and that I could not stay in the room. I have to say the night manager was very helpful throughout but, it was 9pm at this point, and having to pack up after working all day and flying up from Christchurch that morning, made for a pretty uncomfortable stay. Even the new room was missing lots of items (tissues, shower gel, tea bags, etc). Please note, I am only posting this now because the cold call from a pretty insistent and overzealous Accor sales representative, reminded me to check when I stayed here. At the time I even said in the feedback email to Novotel ElIerslie that I wouldn't post to Tripadvisor. But then in checking this out, I see that they never even responded to me about what happened or what they were doing so others didn't experience what I did. Overall a disappointing experience.

I stayed here for two nights in March 2023. The hotel was located close to the venue of my meetings and more or less half way between the central city and airport. It took about 10 minutes up the motorway to the central city and about 20 minutes to the airport (early morning traffic). Across the road there is a petrol station and shop (for snacks etc). There is a Countdown supermarket and McDonalds on the other side of the motorway, just a few hundred metres from the hotel, but you would need to go by car to get across the motorway. The hotel is clean and modern and in line with the usual expectations for an Ibis hotel. The room was fairly large by Ibis standards. There is a bar and restaurant downstairs. My only complaint is that, on the second night, I returned to the hotel at about 9:30pm and the carpark was full. I circled for about ten minutes waiting for a space to become available, but that did not eventuate. I asked the reception where I could park and they indicated the public parking area nearby - about a 1-minute walk away from the hotel. That cost $7.50 for 24 hours. Be aware of this if returning to the hotel at night. I then went to the bar to redeem my drinks voucher but, at 9:52pm, the bar was closing and they wouldn't serve me. I could not get my drink or even think of asking if there were any food options. I don't think that closing the bar that early is good for customer service.
