At ibis budget Auckland Central, travellers praise the central CBD location and helpful staff, while noting very small, no-frills rooms, dated fittings, and street noise at night; overall value suits short stays when expectations match budget basics.

Tiny, old and needs a serious reno (or knockdown). One night we were descending in the lift from the 14th floor when at floor 9 the lift jerked and got stuck between floors. When I pushed the emergency button it restarted and we continued to the ground floor. Cost us $60 for 2 X nights parking next door with the hotel's discount. We had a 1mtr X 1mtr "smoking platform" outside the room.

I booked this hotel including breakfast. This hotel has no restaurant/dining place inside the hotel. Hotel will give you breakfast voucher to go outside the to other restaurant. You have to walk through the street even it's cold ,raining or bad weather. Hotel charge $20.00 for breakfast. You can take breakfast same restaurant which cost you $12.00. I will not stay this hotel again . I will not recommend this hotel as well since staff not friendly.

They limit the wifi usage to 2 GB in total. They provide you with these ridiculous codes that you have to enter after certain amount of MB are used so essentially every 5 minutes you are having to enter another code and after all 4 codes are used, you're done with wifi. As an international visitor with limited data usage, this was a huge pain. Wouldn't stay here for this reason alone. Unless you have a SIM with unlimited data, this hotel isn't for you.

This is the worst hotel we have ever stayed at. The room was so dirty, mouldy and dusty that we checked out a day early. We didn’t mind that the room was small and outdated but couldn’t stay another night as we could feel ourselves getting sick. We didn’t believe the other bad reviews of this hotel but we should’ve. We requested a refund for the night we didn’t stay but this was denied by the hotel. This place wasn’t even that cheap. We changed hotels to one that was cheaper per night in the same area and it was much cleaner.

Reception staff were great. Could not fault their service. Rooms could use a bit of updating and some deep cleaning. I.e. there were hand/finger marks (old blood stains too) on the doors that could use a good clean down. Bed and bedsheets were excellent and the size of the room itself is totally fine for the convenient location and price. TVs do not have smart tv capabilities which is standard in most 3 star hotels these days.

The location is great, just off Queen street and 15 minutes walk to airport bus. The room is clean and the bed is comfortable but there was no seat, no table, no bedside table and no bedside light. The hotel seemed very safe with key only access to the floors and a 24 hour front desk but the area is very noisy at night with drunken people on the streets below.

Property and rooms are definitely showing their age. Rooms are compact, though the bed was comfortable. Televisions are quite old and only pick up three channels, which is fine if you want to seek alternative entertainment elsewhere in Auckland. Microwave and hob provided, but no cutlery or pans to cook with so bring your own if you intend to cook. There's a step into the bathroom area. Water pressure for shower was good. It's fine as budget options go, and is relatively close to the city centre, only a short walk to the waterfront.

Let’s start with the fact that housekeeping WALKED IN ON ME (didn’t knock or anything); the bathroom door is severely water damaged since the layout of the bathroom is so poor, the rooms have a faint smell of sewage/toilet water and rooms aren’t very clean. I guess if you want somewhere cheap to stay this is it- the one positive being that it’s in a good location.

Great customer service when I arrived 12:30am for check in. When I got out for checkout, the receptionist did not greet or even smiled or asked how I was. Poor body language and facial expressions. When I asked if I can get a cup for the coffee machine, he got me a gray cup with chip and crack. Also, when he was asking about a bag. He yelled "excuse me is this yours?" across the room". I felt embarassed as there were other customers there. Best if he approached me discreetly. Please address this issue as this employee might tarnish your reputation.

I had the worst experience with the receptionist at this hotel during my stay in Auckland. The receptionist was rude and completely ignored me when I arrived at the desk. His attitude didnt improve when there was a mistake with my booking and he made it seem as if I was stupid for not knowing the rules. The mistake was easily resolved when a different receptionist intervened eventually. Perhaps the guy was having a bad day or something but making a customer feel uncomfortable and stupid is probably the least I expected when I decided to stay at Ibis budget. The Hotel itself was ok perhaps a bit old but it is the poor level of service that I wouldnt recommend this Hotel.

Le petit déjeuner à prendre dans un bar un peu plus haut est correct.
