Auckland Saint Marys Bay Hotels

My colleague recommended it to me after staying there! This is the first time I've stayed at a hotel of this model. First of all, it's located in the city center and the transportation is very convenient! There's a big supermarket right outside the door! It only takes a few minutes to get to the famous ancient buildings and the Sky Tower, a popular landmark nearby. The most convenient thing is that there is a kitchen on the first floor! You can go to the supermarket and buy the food you want to cook! I would say this is the most satisfying and suitable experience for me to go to Auckland alone! I will stay here again next time I come.

The service was excellent! I was even upgraded to a suite upon check-in, which was a fantastic surprise for this trip. When the hairdryer stopped working in the evening, they promptly brought me a new one. You can easily reach the front desk by just dialing 2 on the in-room phone. The location is absolutely perfect. There's a supermarket right downstairs, and both the pedestrian street and the Sky Tower are just a short stroll away. It offers incredible value for money, and there are tons of restaurants and bubble tea shops right around the corner.

I am travelling with family with kids and elderly. The grand is probably the best central location that you can find in Auckland if you are taking public transport. The pickup and dropoff for Skybus to Auckland airport is a 5 min walk away. The surrounding has plenty of restaurants including japanese & Chinese food. Facilities wise it has a gym and a heated swimming pool which the kids enjoy. Room is clean & spacious. Hotel price wise is on a high but weighing all the plus points, I will book it again for all the reasons above.

Sky city is always a great place to stay. Customer service and room service always prompt and professional. Highly recommended

I really liked the hotel! I had a gorgeous room with a washing machine, kitchen, large bed, work area and a view of the tower. When checking in, they asked for a $500 deposit. A little unexpectedly large, but they returned it upon check-out. The kitchen has excellent new appliances. I really enjoyed using the oven. There are problems with the Internet. It doesn't connect, the connection drops with an error. You have to try to connect again many times. It connects after the 5th time. You can set any temperature on the climate control remote, but if you set it to 23-24 degrees, it doesn't start heating right away, but after 5-10 minutes. A comfortable office chair. You can sit and work at the table. I was allowed to check in a little earlier and it was also possible to check out at night, since the reception is open 24 hours. There is a restaurant with buffet breakfasts.

Really enjoyed my stay at Barclays suites  Not only was the location fantastic, near to the shops & ferry terminal, it’s spacious (two-bedroom suite) and comes with full kitchen if you want to do some cooking. Toiletries are wonderful too. Renovation works right in front is inconvenient but it’s still overall a very pleasant stay.

This hotel sits almost next to the Sky City and Sky Towers and very close to the airport bus stops but is a long walk towards the harbour. So it depends what your intention was. Other than that we didn't use any of the facilities or breakfast so there is not much to comment on their qualities. The check in was a bit of slow as the staff seemed too distracted by a chatty customer in front of us to clear the queue first.

Awesome location in the central, few minutes walk from sky tower, supermarkets, Viator harbour. Rooms are spacious, clean and helpful reception. Yg was a helpful reception. Safe and clean place. Coffee, hot chocolate and varieties of teas are provided in the room. Good job!! Wish they could provided pair of room slippers.

Luxurious and excellent stay in the heart of Auckland. Booking here was a no-brainer as it's one of the newer and more modern hotels in Auckland CBD + the newness of the bedroom amenities and hotel facilities really showed. The footbridge on level 4 connects this hotel to the older SkyCity Hotel across the street and made it really easy to take shortcuts to avoid traffic (plus great to use in wet weather). The only thing I raised with reception though was I specifically requested a room with nice city views, but was advised I'd have to pay an extra ~$350 NZD per night as these rooms were located on level 8 and onwards. I only knew of this after I entered the room, and noticed a distinct shadow being cast into the room. Turns out we got a room facing the new multi-level carpark being built, so didn't get direct sunlight or nice views. The other thing to note is, this hotel doesn't have a pool. Otherwise, if you're looking to stay somewhere close to shops and restaurants, this is a great option as everything is close in walking distance.
