Hotels near Remuera railway station, Auckland

Great place to stay and close to many restaurant’s. The rooms are quite large. Only complaint was that room was made up so late each day.

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.

Found this gem on the Great South Rd Greenlane. Just passing thru Auckland and needed a place for one night. After a long day of travel, I checked in at around 7 pm and was welcomed by the most obliging, helpful young lady at reception. Found my room on the 3 rd floor and settled in for the night. Wow, spacious, clean, fully equipped, large flatscreen tv with heaps of channels, mega comfortable bed, updated and clean bathroom, kitchenette with microwave, mini-fridge, full utensils, capsule coffee maker, toaster..everything at your fingertips. Extremely good value and I will certainly be back next time I am in Auckland. ( ps beware of the towaway zone outside the motel, it's hard to see when you arrive late at night in the dark. Poor Council signage. Cost me 130 bucks to get my car back.)

Booked one night to stay at this Motel in a studio room. Booked a second night after seeing how clean the room was and the facilities provided. Despite being on a busy road the room we had was quiet and the bed was really comfortable. Toiletries were provided as well and tea and coffee making equipment, microwave, toaster plus a little fridge. Free wi fi and parking were a bonus. Would certainly stay here again.

When we first arrived, all went well, easy check in, lovely receptionist. The room was a bit dark and the view to the neighbouring building was not that private so we couldn't make use of the nice divan in front of the window to perhaps read or relax. We had a Romantic Spa Suite supposedly, but there was no spa - just a bath, and it was definitely not romantic in the bathroom! But.... we got on with it and cooked our dinner in the very tiny kitchen. The glass table was awful - so hard to not make a noise on it, and to have to be careful not to break it - unsure why some places have glass tables for guests - silly idea - keep it simple and wooden! It was a rainy and cold night so we decided to stay in after doing a bit of ”work online”. So much for that - the internet was not working, but by the time we found this out, the office was shut. Turned the TV on to see what was on - not much on normal tele, so tried Netflix (maybe, just maybe the internet was only a problem on our devices). No Netflix, no nothing - just boring TV and a rainy night in a dark room with no romantic atmosphere whatsoever. Next morning I complained - the very understanding receptionist refunded our next night's stay that I asked her to cancel - without question. It didn't completely make up for the crappy night, but better than nothing.

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.

This motel seems to be run by Chinese. When I arrived to check in I was left waiting in the reception area for maybe 15 minutes. The insincere apology was worthless. Upon check in to my room I could hear the woman in the adjoining room screaming into her cellphone. I tolerated this for some time but after several phone calls by my new neighbour, I returned to reception to express my concern. The same Chinese woman told me residents “have their rights” so I enquired if the “resident” was a social housing customer. I was assured this was not the case, but having observed the next door neighbour it is very evident she is a social housing tenant. She is extremely noisy, having no regard for anyone but herself. Be aware this badly managed motel appears to have a mix of social housing clients and the more traditional, respectable type of customer. You can likely do much better than staying at Tudor Court.

When i book through trip.com the confirmation email said the check out time is 12:00pm but in fact the check out time is 10:00am. The staff knock on my door at 10:10am and ask me to check out, otherwise will charge me for the late check out. It was so embarrassing. Location was good 5 mins to westfield shopping centre
