10/10 Exceptional

Great stay
Addison, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location in Auckland CBD

Nice hotel above a brew pub so can get a bit noisy at night but not too bad. The building is historic so no elevator but the staff helped me with my bags. Many things within walking distance.
Roseanne, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This historic tavern is well-preserved and well run. My partner & I stayed in-house but had our meals in the bar downstairs and enjoyed the boutique beer/cider. The atmosphere is relaxing & the meals well-presented and very enjoyable. The staff were very welcoming and helpful with any enquiries. The ladies toilet was the only disappointment: it is in dire need of a makeover as it was pretty old, messy & needing some repairs in the walls, etc.

Shakespeare hotel

No one was there when I arrived. Doors all locked. Rang bell. Nothing. Luckily someone was coming out and we were able to store luggage. No hair dryer. I didn’t have right outlet converter. They did lend me one!!! Good location and close and walkable for sites!

Jo-Ann, 1-night trip

Nice, but old.
Thorben, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was on 3rd floor and as this hotel is very old there wasn’t a lift and had to climb the stairs every single time, staff was helpful with carrying luggage’s all the way up and down bless them. Very annoying to back and forth with stairs specially when your room is at level three. I was exhausted.
Bhagya, 2-night trip

I loved the hotel. There were a few small things that were a bit of an issue but everything was perfect. The staff were nice and made check in easy
Alexandra, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

clean affordable friendly good location

2/10 Poor

Old and dirty

While the staff were nice and very helpful , they were battling a building that is old, worn out, and dirty. I have a video of me opening my door with a credit card slipped into the gaping space in the door jamb. Not using the key! The air conditioner was always dripping on the bed and floor and soaked everything which is why it smelled like a swamp. The coffee pot has mold all inside it. Yuck. Cockroaches in bathroom. No lift up 3 flights. Location is fine but this is an old and running brewery pub downstairs. Smells like it. Keep the air conditioner off, open the windows and spray for bugs if you stay here. No paid parking either. Price was great though but we still left early. Not for normal travelers.

Climbing

Good cost effective clean and comfy stay. Four flights of stairs, so I hope you like climbing.
Joe, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I emailed support twice asking about check in and never heard back. We were not aware that the whole hotel would be shutdown with check in being at 2pm. I emailed asking before our stay if we could check in before 2, if we knew this was not possible we would have stayed elsewhere. We ended up missing our booked tours on Waiheke Island which was a shame.
