Insight Guides "This contemporary hotel takes prime position on Princes Wharf and all rooms have clear views of the harbour."
Concierge "Set right at the edge of Princes Wharf overlooking Waitemata Harbour, this chic, modern property—the best large hotel in Auckland—is where jet-setting business travelers pull into port."
Jetsetter "Wharf-side nautically inspired property with a water-view pool, minimalist rooms and a hip seafood joint." Full review
Fodor's "Perched on the end of Princes Wharf, the Hilton resembles the cruise ships that dock alongside it, with white walls and neutral furnishings in chic, clean-lined rooms." Full review
Lonely Planet "Perched at the tip of Princes Wharf, this stylish luxury hotel is almost out to sea."
Travel + Leisure "Light-filled showstopper (white-on-white rooms; floor-to-ceiling-windows) on a pier near Queen Street." Full review
Rough Guide "Fabulously sited on a wharf jutting into the harbour."
Star Service "At the heart of yachting's inner sanctum, this hotel gets first honors here for its quintessential Auckland vibe." Full review
Gayot "Jutting out like a giant cruise ship, this hotel allows you to sleep, dine and drink not just overlooking the water, but literally over Waitemata Harbour."
Afar Magazine "Drawing inspiration from Auckland’s sailing and maritime culture, the Hilton Auckland is all white and windows, jutting nearly 1,000 feet into the sea like a double-bowed cruiseliner." Full review

Rough Guide "Large and central YHA with seven floors of mostly twin and double rooms – the upper ones with fine city views – plus well-equipped common areas."
Frommer's "One of the best hostels in the country and hosts over 50,000 guests a year. Its rooms, while spartan are meticulously clean, as is the communal kitchen, which is large enough to handle multiple guests" Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Struggle up one of the city’s steepest streets to this big, impersonal tower block near the K Rd party strip. The rooms are clean and well kept, and some have views and terraces." Full review
