Hotels near Auckland Airport

Pros: Location is great and reason for booking at Novotel Airport. Our check in time was very early morning. Given the construction works at airport I noted that a lot of traffic jam at airport. So staying at Novotel Airport overnight is necessary.

Cons: None. All good

Pros: Just a couple of minutes walk into the Departure Terminal, the main reason for booking this hotel. Room immaculate, tea, milk and coffee provided and also a refreshment and drinks fridge, so you could purchase extra if you wished. A cafe on site.

Cons: All fine

Pros: Check-in process was great, Platinum breakfast benefit was recognised, free upgraded to Executive room, drink vouchers can be used on delicious mocktails in the bar, free bottled water in the room.

Cons: No in-room welcome amenity - I rang and asked for this, and was told that it would get brought up, but it never did. Also got told at breakfast in the morning that we would have the breakfast rate charged to our room - and I had to remind them that this was complimentary as a Platinum member.

Pros: This is a relatively luxurious hotel positioned right next to the international terminal but is still quiet and welcoming. There is a good restaurant, and whilst not cheap, offers an exceptional buffet supper. We cannot rate the breakfast as we did not have that.

Cons: Not a lot, really. It was generally good so not many minusses to complain about. It is on the pricey side but for that you get immense convenience.

Cons: The view of the carpark development

Pros: Great for 6am departure. Views of tarmac. Clean. Great vibe. 24/7 reception.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location! I just walked 50 feet from the international terminal and I was there. Nice too that the public bus stop is right there too.

Cons: Main floor restaurant undergoing renovation.

Pros: The bed was really comfortable, room was quiet and modern. Really happy with the convenience of the location.

Cons: As above - noise and mosquitoes!

Blinds in room were dirty and had food stains on them. room service a little on the pricey side for the quality ash tray on balcony still full of other peoples ciggarette butts :( looked like it wasnt emptied for quite a while.

Pros: location, open windows

Cons: Our room was directly beside the multi air conditioning units. It was not possible to stay in this room with open windows, especially at night (one of the reasons we picked up this accommodation was that we were able to keep windows open) Hotel offered to change our room but we were already unpacked and decided to stay in this room, it was a big mistake .

Pros: Location suited and first time at a Heartland and it exceeded my expectations

Cons: A quieter room would have been nicer but I knew when I booked it was on a busy road.

Pros: Heartland hotel is a nice hotel not far from the aiport . They offer a free shuttle, from the aiport and the hotel. The Shuttle drivers were very kind . The hotel has a nice breakfast , the room is clean and they have as well a small gym ! Would come anytime again ! They allowed me as well to checkout a bit later than 10 AM and they allowed me as well to storage some lugguages till coming from my next travel to them again ! I appreciate that very much and they deserve definitely a good review from me !

Cons: everything was perfect

Pros: The situation close to the airport the ability to leave your car parked there and the shuttle service is a huge plus for your hotel. Great piece of mind and the pick up on return back to the hotel is also great. We always choose to stay here on the way out of and back into the country for both Business and Leisure

Cons: When we checked in Wednesday 15th January 2020 I asked for a wake up call at 6.15am but was woken at 5.30am - I checked my room clock which said 6.30am, so we thought we were late so rushed our showers and packed raced downstairs to the lobby to found we were 45mins early for our shuttle? - Wrong wake up call time and clock not set on correct time? No point in talking to the staff on the desk because they were different people On arriving back from our holiday 26th January 2020, we checked in at 12 midnight went to our room. Real noisey international guest where we didnt get to sleep till 1.00am. Couldnt ring reception - no phone instructions on the key pad? We were then woken up at 7.30am with the hotel maids coming into our room to do room service - We were still asleep and in bed so very disturbing to be woken by people entering your room.

Pros: Everything. The food was the best airport hotel food I've ever had. The venison was cooked superbly. The fish and chips were light and crispy without too much batter and not at all greasy. The chocolate melt dessert was out of this world! Just enough for 2 to share without a lot of guilt. The beds were very comfortable with feather or foam pillows to chose from. The jacuzzi tub was an added bonus!

Cons: Not many food choices except hotel restaurants without taking cab, which was expensive.

Pros: The bed was super comfortable and the room was clean. It was good for a layover stay, Or an arriving stay. Reception was helpful & picked me up from the airport.

Pros: Excellent service from the very hard working professional proprietor.

Pros: Bed was comfortable rooms were clean

Cons: Had to wait an hour for shuttle to pick us up from airport when driver arrived I asked why it took so long as she said she was at home and had to do “some stuff” the ride back to the airport the next day driver was on time though. Long term residents who live there are noisy. No onsite restaurant but they do have a couple nearby places that deliver that food however was probably the worst I’ve ever had and expensive. Not the worst place but I won’t be staying there again

Pros: Room was big, bathroom seemed very new. Large shower. Close to airport. No extra charge for airport shuttle.

Cons: Attention, we had the worst service experience in our whole trip here. The woman picking us up at the airport and checking us in: no welcome, no smile, no help with luggage. At check in we wanted to cancel the porta cot as it is 15 dollar/night. When I tried to explain that I was told on the phone before that we can decide on arrival she wouldn’t let me speak at all. Every time she interrupted me and said either I pay the fee now or I will not get any keys. Then I asked her if she will let me finish my sentence. She said no. I asked why. She said it wouldn’t make any difference. Pay now or denial of keys. It was night time, my wife is pregnant, we have two little kids under three and she threatened to not let us in our room (which was all paid except for the porta cot), imagine that. We have never experienced such unkindness before and it was a very bad start into our New Zealand holiday.

Pros: Comfy bed

Cons: The noise and dirty carpets and furniture

Pros: The room was spotlessly clean. The cleaning staff were very friendly

Cons: The reception staff need to be really re-trained. It was the most peculiar situation I have come across. The bus person is also the receptionist. So you call for the bus and the receptionist has to drop everything and run to the bus and pick you up. I arrived at 9 at night the person had no interpersonal skills whatever. Next morning same thing, the receptionist had to drop everything to run to the airport with people so that people who had questions lining up at the desk had to wait for him to return from his trip... very odd. They are out to make money without the warm friendliness of the NZ people. A bit hard to take just of the flight from Australia. Out in the sticks no place to by any food at all..

Pros: I chose the hotel because of its location near to airport, and it is. I did not mind how basic the room and amenities were, as I felt I got the value for which I paid.

Cons: Room was basic, but the shower leaked on the floor, and you could see water damage in the walls around the shower as well. The sink faucet needed repair as it dripped constantly, and the door to the bathroom left bits of "fluff" on the floor as it was opened and closed. Fortunately I don't have many allergies, or I might have had some issues with the lack of maintenance of the rooms.

Pros: Could not beat the price and convenience to airport with free shuttle. Not a place for those who must have the Four Seasons luxury.

Pros: The staff and manager were all very helpful and courteous with us. We changed our plans suddenly as a result of the recent coronavirus scare, and the manager didn't make us pay for the second night. He allowed us to change to just the one nights stay. We were very appreciative of his understanding. We'll stay at the Airport Gateway Hotel again.

Cons: All good.

Pros: The Hotel is very clean and although the reception lady didn't seem to be knowledgeable about airport, the staff were friendly. I'd definitely stay here again. Good for the price!

Cons: The place is a bit dated. The reception lady didn't seem to know which road to take to airport. Given that the name of the Hotel is "Airport Gateway Hotel" that info should be an absolute must to know!

Hygienically sick. Black mould growing grounds

Pros: Excellent location and free shuttle to the airport. Plus I left my car there for 4 days free of charge. The rooms are comfortable and clean (if somewhat basic, but that’s exactly what I was expecting given the price). All in all, you can’t beat it if you’re catching an early flight.
