What guests think

At Novotel Auckland Ellerslie, travellers frequently praise the friendly, professional staff and convenient location near public transport and Ascot Hospital, while noting occasional dated features, patchy housekeeping, and inconsistent dining and service experiences.

Many enjoy the breakfast buffet and the on-site bar/restaurant, though menus and room service can be limited or close early. Parking is available but often limited or carries extra charges; the gym is appreciated yet upkeep and lift reliability vary. Rooms are usually quiet and spacious with comfortable beds, but some face noise, dated decor, maintenance niggles, or shower-over-bath layouts. Overall, a practical base with good comfort and location, tempered by occasional hiccups.

Nice corporate hotel. Parking was a little challenging as there was none when we got in late from our event. In saying that, the public parking over the byway was cheaper than what the hotel charged to park in their area

Friendly quick reception & check in, good bar food & good servings of wine & I like the atmosphere in the house bar area. The only let down was the sewerage smell in bathroom but mostly managed to air that out when we went out for awhile. Suspect floor over flow drain needs to be sluced out with a reasonable volume of water & something like bleach based toilet cleaner. The Bed was really comfortable & it was a good nights sleep. The breakfast buffet is excellent.I guess one day this hotel will have both lifts working, is the right hand one still under maintenance from when I was there 2 years ago? But would I stay there again? Definite Yes.

The dining room very spacious and plenty of tables to choose from. No-one made us feel rushed. We loved the 11am check-out. The gym was well equipped and easy to access 24hrs a day.

Hotel seemed to struggling with shortage of staff, at breakfast service and bar area in the evening. One morning at breakfast there was little food left at the breakfast buffet, with only 1 chef struggling to replenish various food items. Check-in and reception staff seemed fine, however. Gym was untidy and clearly not cleaned or serviced regularly (I had to ask the reception staff to service the gym, i.e. no towels, water cups, and generally untidy). Room service was variable, sometimes good standard, other times only okay (e.g. bathroom not properly cleaned and replenished).

The staff and service were top notch. Room was fine but noisey. Each time a person shut their door in another room nearby it would shake the wardrobe glass doors, this happened while sleeping so not great. Air vents were super loud also despite dropping the fan speed. Coffee supplies were grim and milk revolting inside the room. Bathroom needs a spruce up too. Still clean and tidy and comfortable warm beds. Something inside the room like a compendium would be ideal as we were not told anything at checkin nor knew where anything was. The restaurant was pricey for dinner but delicious. Buffet breakfast was spectacular and the kids had a great time! We would definitely stay again but would bring air plugs for the night.

Happy with the room very comfortable beds and plenty of room -but a pity the shower is over the bath - very dangerous Would not recommend the dining as not up to standard of prices . We suggested the chef tasted his food as the duck was tough and obviously cooked incorrectly .the salad appeared to have been tipped out of a bag on the other .The staff were very pleasant meal . Didn't fancy the smorgasbord .

The room promised sound proofing but heard people in corridors and the motor way noise . I had surgery and asked for my last night to be refunded as I needed someone by my side during the night and so stayed with a friend . I was not given a refund under my circumstances which I thought was poor service.

Most things were great - but there was one thing that I really can't stand!!! I was booked for 2 nights, after the first night I had breakfast at the hotel but was locked out from the lift and getting back to my room - the swipe card just didn't work. The reception could not offer any explanation as to why this happened, but simply reactivated the card as if this was normal practice. I've had this several times - even in other hotels, and it is so annoying - STOP DOING THIS NONSENSE - I know this is NOT an accident!

I stayed in Novotel/Ibis hotels in many countries and different continents therefore is a review based in experience as well. I will not stay again again in this hotel. The hotel is okay (the building is mixed between Ibis & Novotel) and no complaints regarding the building, location or cleaning. This particular Novotel/Ibis have poor management skills. We stayed a few days as a family (with a young kid) and specifically for the weekend they allocated opposite and between our room a huge amount of teenagers making party, screaming at night, insulting/fighting and vaping in the hall, etc (something that not even in a cheap Hostel happens). Took many attempts for the reception to take acknowledge of the situation (specially for the fighting and the insults that generated guests to feel unsafe). The reception argued that because the hotel was full they allocated people as possible and they only took seriously the situation when I mentioned to the reception that I will escalate to the authorities and the teenagers where jumping in the Hall.
