DK Eyewitness "Conveniently located in the heart of the business district above the Elliott shopping complex and just a short walk from the Edge Entertainment Centre, SKYCITY complex and Queen Street."
Star Service "Situated midway between the Aotea Performing Arts Centre and the ferry terminals...this downtown landmark resides in a striking 28-story tower balanced atop one of Auckland's shopping malls." Full review
Frommer's "The service is friendly and efficient. But there are some drawbacks... from the exorbitant charge for Wi-Fi to the fact that some rooms overlook a very noisy nightclub." Full review
Fodor's "The suites on the 28th floor have great views and bigger bathrooms for just a slightly higher price. The website often has quite good deals." Full review
Frommer's "Its location can't be beat; rooms are spacious and well-maintained, the beds boasting quality, pillow-top mattresses; and the service is friendly and efficient." Full review

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." Full review
