4/10 Fair

Could Be Better

This place has the potential to be a fantastic spot if some money was spent. For example, cooling system/air conditioning or fans that don’t sound like a truck, a shower that has consistent water temperature, a place that serves morning coffee or breakfast, better cleaning, and curtains that aren’t torn and old, and when the one window is open if there is a wind there is a banging noise. The location is perfect but the hotel not so much.

The building is 122 years old and you can see that But it’s fairly well kept up and has lots of charm The room was large, with a very nice bathroom The living area had a large three piece couch and a nice balcony with a view of the ocean The staff helped us out by bringing us a toaster and microwave, as the restaurant was temporarily closed Overall it was a great place to stay

Loved my stay: Devonport is a great base for exploring Auckland, and the run along the coast to a Cheltenham beach around the headland is fantastic. My room was comfortable but I would have appreciated a desk where I could sit and work.

loved it was so near to town but hated that the booking site says parking included but it wasn't included and they had no parking, we needed to find our own on-street parking. i would not stay there again because my car was not safe.

Stay Here for a Slice of History

What an amazing historic building! The room was very grand - the highest ceilings you can comprehend. I felt like royalty has probably stayed here in the past. Obviously with buildings of this age it comes with challenges and makes it hard to maintain but I loved staying here - view was incredible. I would not recommend taking a limited mobility person but I enjoyed feeling the history and grandness and echoes of days past.
