What guests think

At Copthorne Hotel Auckland City, travellers highlight the convenient location for Spark Arena and central sights, consistently friendly staff, and comfortable beds, while noting dated rooms, patchy maintenance, and variable cleanliness that can impact overall comfort and value.

On-site restaurant and bar are handy, but breakfast and coffee quality vary, service can be slow, and parking is limited, first-come and charged. Some enjoy balconies or harbour views, while others report noise from lifts or trains, stuffy or noisy air-conditioning, awkward power points, and unreliable Wi-Fi. A practical base for short stays when location matters more than updated finishes.

Comfortable stay - close to main cbd area - parking is a bit short at the hotel but they offer alternative options offsite. Breakfast was well priced. Great service from the manager.

There is a $30.00 per night parking charge. The management of this hotel need to make up their minds as to whether they are a short term parking lot or a hotel with guest parking. This charge caused us not to patronise the restaurant for either dinner or breakfast in protest. The meals/ drinks would have earned far more for the property than their annoying parking policy. Would not stay there again.

The wifi wasn't strong enough to cast to the tv, it kept dropping out but worked fine on phones. The beds were comfortable but the room did look a bit tired. Great location for the Arena.

Was never told about the 100$ deposit for car parking which was charged at 30$ per day for parking and the car park was so tight could hardly fit in the park then on the second night there was no car parks at all so we was told it’s a first in first serve and we would have to pay for parking else where had to park 100m away from our hotel that we was staying at they never charged us for the second night very disappointing

Is close to transport and not that far to.walk to main shopping.or restaurants, parking at hotel was good (pay extra for) restaurant and bar looked good but we went out for meals. Check out was quick and easy. Would recommend if you looking.for a budget friendly option to have a night or 2 away.

Received mail saying NZD50 as security deposit but have to pay NZD150!!! Poor quality of hygiene, washrooms are mouldy, dirty sheets and uncleaned rooms Had changed the room on the next day itself but given a more worse room, literally saying if you shower room will be flooding. As we dont want to spoil our long weekend managed to stay all through the booking. Thankyou for housekeeping to provide extra towel to prevent flooding. Even exhaust is working at all.

When we checked in my partner noticed a used ear swab that was placed on the skirting near the floor which is disgusting. There were also almonds on the floor, we didn’t have these almonds so it was clear that the floor was not vacuumed before we checked in. The shower was also filthy and there was soap scum around the base of the shower, and the glass in the shower was all smeared and dirty. For the amount of money we spent for 4 nights I thought that the cleanliness would have been A LOT better. Due to staffing issues the bar and kitchen were also closed, a very disappointing stay to say the least.

The staff is really great. Location is ok, though restaurants are a good 6-7 blocks away. If you take a left out of hotel, good neighborhood. If you take a right…not so much. Rooms desperately need updating and a deep clean. I was there for 3 nights and changed rooms twice. The first, had a gorgeous view and somewhat quiet- but smelled of mold. The 2nd room, not nearly as quiet, furniture was really beat up, don’t walk barefoot stained carpet, and flooded while I was out on a tour. 3rd room, overlooked a construction site but was cleaner. The staff did immediately move me after the flood and comped my breakfast and gave me tickets for free cocktails. Not their fault, and they did the best they could. Copthorne management needs to do a better job of upkeeping their property. Overall, ok place to stay if you just need a place to end a busy day of touring!

We were happy with our 3 nights stay. We had a harbor view but not necessarily a beautiful view. It was noisy due to proximity to railroad tracks. The room was clean and front desk staff were helpful. There aren’t very many dining choices close by. We ate at the restaurant in the hotel 2 evenings and food was good. The Viaduct Harbor, Britomart and Sky Tower area are within walking distance.

The WiFi was kind of in-and-out (and difficult to connect to on my computer), so not sure I'd recommend this to someone who needs to access the internet often. But for my purposes, this was a clean, quiet room to sleep in after long days of travel, and it did the job extremely well! The bed was comfy, the room was dark, and I never had any problems getting to sleep.

Beds were clean but linen very threadbare. Beds extremely soft. Room was very hot and stuffy and ventilation was poor, too noisy to have it on at night.

Our check in was at 2pm and we had to wait for an hour and a half until the room they allocated us was ready. When we called them they eventually gave us two room keys and none of them was the original room they allocated us, but why give us two rooms? Do they charge extra if people check out an hour and a half after check out? Will not be going back as they made us late for our function, not happy.
