Lonely Planet
"It features lovingly tended period details such as supremely high ceilings, and has much more style than many of the luxury hotels in the city centre."
DK Eyewitness
"Slick, elegant luxury boutique hotel on the Devonport Village waterfront, a 10-minute ferry ride across the harbour from Auckland."
Fodor's
"Upstairs, a wide corridor hung with chandeliers leads to generous rooms with period furnishings ... harbor views come at a slightly higher rate."

Lonely Planet
"Nestled in a forgotten strip of inner-city houses edging a steep park near the university, this homely hostel has only seven rooms and a great backyard."
Rough Guide
"slightly cramped accommodation, an easy walk from both the CBD and Parnell. Relaxed atmosphere, small garden and limited parking. Dorms $24, shares $26, rooms & en suites 2."
