The room staff and location are great. This would be where I would choose to stay here for myself and family as the value is outstanding. Free parking, laundry and spacious room. We were upgraded to the room with a spa bath, in the 1 bedroom apartment. It was fresh, clean and everything you could need for either a short term stay or a long term stay. The staff are so supportive and down to earth, incredibly considerate and friendly which for us gives this place A++ ratings, very highly recommended. There is some traffic noise, however after coming from another major city it is minimal.

This was a good visit with nice staff. This is an older motel which would benefit from some upgrades. However it was very clean and comfortable. The only downside for us was having a second floor room and the site didn’t have an elevator. We both have difficulty climbing stairs.

Shuttle pick up was good. But 0800 number from my international number didn’t work and I had to go on line to find the local number to ring them. That mattered only because it cost money to ring the 0800 several times to find out it didn’t work, and because at midnight after 24 hours of flying you just want it to be pretty easy. A clear number on the receipt email would help here. Or better let me arrange an approximate pick up time by email before I come. That said the instruction of where to meet the shuttle from the driver// receptionist and the greeting were all good. As was the ease of arranging the shuttle in the morning. Once there the general state of cleanliness was good. Except for small forest of pubes in the bed. I went and told the receptionist who was upset and very helpful and who along with getting me clean sheets and towels also came and helped me change the bed - which at 12:45 was much appreciated. For £80 (price of a road side travel lodge in the uk) and as a seasoned traveller, I knew I wasn’t getting 5 star. But hoped for a slightly higher level of ease and cleanliness in nz for that cash. Receptionist// driver was great.

The hotel is conveniently located near the Auckland airport. However the building construction is poor, with no soundproofing from the upstairs unit or from outside road noise. The heavy footsteps of the guest upstairs kept us awake all night, even though we were wearing earplugs. The room was not clean, with smelly old carpet, blood stains and long hair on pillowcases. We would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Over the 6 weeks of our travel and 18 different hotels in NZ, this hotel was unfortunately the worst.

We had a wonderful stay at BK Pioneer! The place was very clean and felt just like home. Everything we needed was available from a fully equipped kitchen with all the utensils to onsite laundry facilities.Housekeeping was done daily, which was a pleasant surprise. They changed our linens and made the beds while we were out, which made our stay even more comfortable. It was spacious, with a big bed for us and a separate room for the kids with two single beds. There were also two tv's which was great for relaxing in the evenings, with all the apps including netflix, youtube etc, the wifi internet speed was excellent, we really enjoyed our stay, reception staff was also nice.

The shuttle took a long time to pick me up from the airport and doesn't operate between 10 am and 2 pm... My flight was at 2 30pm so this was very inconvenient. I ended up getting an Uber because I didn't want to be stuck at the airport for hours with my suitcase. The traffic was incredibly loud, there is no soundproofing at all and it's on a very busy road. The sink in my bathroom was broken and barely drained. The staff were really nice and friendly though so that was a positive.

Mixed review. On the plus side: large, spacious room and bathroom. Very comfy bed. Close to the airport and cafes etc. On the minus side: noisy. Busy road. Also can hear guests walking about in room above our heads late at night. No plug for sink, but since the sink drained slowly it was not a problem. Spa did not work. Toilet flushing mechanism needs replacing. Light above bathroom mirror not working.

We arrived without any travel adapters for the plug sockets but reception were very helpful and lent us some they had. Situated right across the road from a fantastic car rental company, Kiwi Direct, so the location was perfect. Would use again when passing through Auckland.

The room was very clean and had the expected kitchen facilities etc.
