Amazing staff, great location, very boutique feel
Best part of the stay is without a doubt the staff who are super friendly and super helpful. Ohtel is described as a “boutique” hotel and in truth it feels that way though perhaps a little like a bed and breakfast in some ways with odd design choices and a little kitschy at times such as IKEA pieces and Anko cushions. The location is around 10-15 minutes to most places such as Sky City, One Queen Street, and next to the restaurants at the Viaduct. We stayed here post cruise and it was a short enough walk. We love our balcony room which was super spacious and the air conditioning cold and powerful. The “balcony” was a huge terrace however it is one without a view nestled between 3 walls and with other room windows facing us so we didn’t utilise it. The amenities were great, bed and pillow very comfortable. Housekeeping kept everything very spotless. There is enough said by others about Ohtel’s unique bathroom and toilet design, so I won’t repeat here, but the balcony room suffer less of the problem with the bath area to the side of the room (though yes the toilet is still enclosed by only glass ha ha)

Great Ohtel!
Stayed one night for a concert. Ohtel was a superb place to stay, right on the waterfront in the heart of the area but quiet and comfortable

Funky hotel close to the action
This hotel is just around the corner from the Viaduct entertainment district but is soundproofed and quiet. The staff are friendly and accommodating, and the lounge area is great for a quiet drink. My only quibble was the "design for designs sake" glass walled shower and toilet in the rooms - there is a reason bathrooms are usually accessed by a door which can block out light, noise and smell from the other occupants.

I liked Ohtel
Quirky hotel room which I like. Very very clean :-)
Night manager gave me incorrect advice about dry cleaning but the hotel made that ok - much appreciated.
No Sky TV which is unusual for a hotel.

This place had a cool design. It was well done with a lovely retro style. I had a lovely courtyard off my room which I really loved. The staff were great. It was so well located to the CBD and viaduct. Highly recommend

It’s amazing hotel! Everything from fantastic location near Auckland marina to tasty egg Benedict for breakfast (extra) was above expectations. Stayed at Ohtel Wellington last week, this one has better furniture and design. Make sure you are ok with bathroom inserted in the room (behind math glass door). Staff was very helpful and gave a great suggestion for dinner - Oysters grill. Compared with big chain ***** hotels this one is so much more fun!

From the moment I arrived the experience was fantastic, the staff were lovely, friendly and genuinely interested in having a conversation, they had some great suggestions for how to spend my afternoon and were happy to walk me to the corner and give directions!
The room was huge, stylish, bright, comfortable and the bed was a super king!
The flat screen TV with a great selection of free movies and easy connect to my phone was a bonus....
Ive travelled extensively over the last 35 years and this was in my top 5 hotels of all times ! thanks I'll be back
