What guests think

Across many recent reviews, The Surrey Hotel is praised for friendly, accommodating staff, a convenient Grey Lynn location near shops, cafes, buses and Eden Park, and generally comfortable, spacious rooms that suit short stays and family visits.

Guests like the onsite bar and restaurant, an indoor pool, and free parking, though a few found the pool cool or restricted by limited hours. Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many note tidy rooms, but repeated complaints cite stained carpets, missed housekeeping details, and occasional lingering odors. The older, quirky property brings dated fixtures, some maintenance niggles, stairs with no lift in places, and intermittent noise. Overall, expect a good-value, well-located stay with welcoming service and practical comforts.

This place is a little gem!! Our 4th time staying here. Family with young children. The rooms are always clean and functional with tea/coffee and toiletries etc. Although parts of the hotel appear run down in some areas…(just paint work etc, they really aren’t where it matters!! It also gives the hotel its character. Strong showers, great beds and pillows, spacious rooms. Very clean. Pool is always clean. Staff are super friendly. Restaurant is super handy and chef is so knowledgeable and accommodating. They will always have the sport playing if it’s on. Drinks and food reasonably priced. Parking is free and plentiful. There is a really nice bakery and Pizza Hut just 100m up the road if you need a snack or something extra for later. Highly recommend. Will book again for our next trip to AKL.

I had an enjoyable four night stay at Surrey Hotel in Feb 2026. I had space and convenience which was fantastic. The ever helpful housekeeping staff went out of their way to provide me with coat hangers and a microwave which h was great. Very pleasant surroundings, close to local cafes and public transport. Swimming pool was average. Location in main building across the road and lack of changing facilities meant I only used it once during my stay.

Apparently other parts of the hotel have already been renovated. Location was excellent for us & staff friendly, although restaurant/bar shut pretty early.

Receptionist and housekeeper were very friendly. Full tiled shower looked good however it wasn’t cleaned properly. Appreciate the shower head was movable and was quite powerful. Also liked the provided set of body and hair cleaning products.

The hotel is older and quirky but the rooms are comfortable and clean. Unfortunately the people in the room before us smoked in the room, selfish!! So it reeked but that’s not the fault of the hotel and they were very apologetic. Couldn’t change rooms because everywhere was booked (Metallica!!) but with the help of a little fan thing and leaving the door open we got rid of the smell eventually. Staff were all lovely and super friendly. There was a shuttle that took us to Eden Park for Metallica at no extra cost which was awesome. Walk back in the rain was manageable especially after a few drinks haha. Would definitely stay again if we need to go to an event at Eden Park.

The 1st lady on the night was ok but seemed a bit angry was not very hospitable and lacked a little in hospitality. The morning younger lady was very nice hospitality excellent and showed up the lady last nite as she made you feel important and welcome so 10/10 for her she made my day. The beds were ok the mattress was lumpy an poked you when you lay on it and was very uncomfortable and hard . Needs to be replaced and there was no utensils like a teaspoon or knife and fork or spoon nowhere to heat anything or cook anything just a jug and coffee cups and glasses was all it provided. Found a syringe 💉 on the outside of my window so they should have checked the windows from the last person's stay an they should have removed it.The room was lovely just a few things like could hear snoring in the next room an kids bouncing a ball on the ground that was either upstairs or next door.

We decided to stay here for old time's sake as we stayed for 7 weeks 10 years ago while our new house was being finished. What a disappointment! While the rooms have had a modest refresh, the service and quality has significantly dropped. The restaurant staff were cheerful but inattentive, left us sitting with a table of dirty dishes for over an hour and didn't check in for drink refills. They spent most of their time out on the deck together smoking. At 6pm we asked for coffee and were told they close the machine at 5pm. They offered no alternative and told us they were dead serious. My friend found brush bristles in her salad and they kindly provided a new salad which was appreciated.
