What guests think

Across reviews of Ocean Breeze Hotel, travelers highlight scenic harbour and city views, a quiet waterside setting near the Bayswater ferry, and spacious, self-contained apartments, while noting tired exteriors and recurring maintenance issues affecting some rooms and shared areas.

Staff are frequently described as friendly and check-in easy, though reception can be unmanned at times and service inconsistent in a few cases. Cleanliness is often good inside units but uneven overall, with reports of insects, mould, messy grounds, and renovation clutter. There is no on-site restaurant and few dining options within walking distance, so guests typically self-cater or take the ferry to the CBD. Overall, it suits travelers seeking apartment-style convenience and easy ferry access more than those wanting full-service amenities.

As our two bedroom Apartment commanded a spectacular few of the Harbour - we were blown away! As evening fell & the Auckland Harbour Bridge lit up, we were able to watch the cars as they drove over the bridge. Because I am having treatment nearby we have already rebooked for 3 weeks time. Excellent value & so quiet. There was limited parking due to a slip at the back but additional parking was available if needed on the grass. Highly recommended!

We had a great stay at Ocean Breeze Hotel for three nights. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and quick. The location is ideal for us, offering beautiful views of the CBD and Harbour Bridge. Public transport options, including buses and ferries, are easily accessible for getting to the city or exploring the North Shore, and there are plenty of parking spaces available! The property could benefit from some maintenance, especially the exterior. The curtain in our living room couldn’t fully close, which was a bit annoying. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The room was quite spacious, and the area was peaceful and quiet. We would definitely come back and stay here again in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Large well equipped room with a great view. Clean and comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy free parking. Bayswater is quiet but the hotel is only a five minute walk to the ferry and a ten minute ride into the centre of Auckland. There is no restaurant open on site currently and no restaurants or shops nearby, so plan to shop and eat in central Auckland or in your room.

Hotel did not feel welcoming, some balconies looked very untidy and parking limited. Nobody on reception to greet us and check in experience underwhelming. No on-site dining available, but thanks to Uber we got fed. View from our ground floor window was shocking, including rubbish and beer cans on the ground. Noisy music until very late. Tried to contact reception but no reply and later discovered it was unmanned during the night. Complained to Hotels.com at 10.30 pm who also were unable to contact hotel to resolve the noise issue. This hotel felt like a shelter for the local homeless and is not suitable for travelling hotel guests. Couldn’t wait to leave at daylight and will never return. Real shame because 7 years ago when we last stayed it was lovely. Feel like we have wasted our money and would rather have slept in the car.

The front of the building looks quite exclusive with a 'grand' entrance and check in area. The room we had was like an apartment, came with a little kitchen, living area, balcony with harbour/waterview, big bathroom with washing machine! The back of the building and it's surroundings looks less maintained, it appears to be that there has been a slip or something happened to the steep bank which made me wonder how safe the parking area and the back of the building were.

Fab location and has potential to be great accommodation however the rubbish, old mattresses, garden waste etc as we drove around the rear to park was our first impression. Then the laundry bags lying in the stairwell. Our room had a great view, but i had to wipe food remnants off the kitchen bench with a very well used sponge cloth, black mould in the shower grout, leaves cluttered around the air con on the balcony. Little things that would make a big difference. On the plus side, it was quiet, room view was awesome, the beds very comfy and the shower pressure was good. Wouldnt take much to improve this property.

The magnificent and spectacular view of the harbor, bay, and bridge made up for any deficiencies with the property. Check in was smooth but staff was short and not overtly friendly. Room was clean. While there is a small combined washer/dryer unit, it cannot realistically be utilized as it takes ~6 hours to complete the process, is extremely loud, and is right at the entrance to the bathroom from the main bedroom, making it impossible to sleep with the machine on. However the view made up for this inconvenience

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment and it had a weird set up with the only bathroom being off the main bedroom - meaning everyone had to go through the main bedroom if they needed to use the facilities. Other than that, the room was perfect and the staff were amazing. We were very happy. The people in the neighbouring rooms were either very noisy or the walls are quite thin not sure which, but this was NOT the hotel’s fault, only mentioning in case you are a light sleeper - you may need to bring some earplugs.

Our room was a seaview suite and we were very pleasantly surprised. It was a large bedroom with a separate lounge/kitchen area. The bathroom was very nice and clean with a washing machine in situ behind a cupboard. The room has a microwave, cooking hob, cutlery, crockery and pots and pans. There is a veranda off the lounge with access from the separate bedroom also where you can look over the city and harbour bridge. It also has a generous dridge with a separate freezer, it even has a dishwasher in the kitchen with powder supplied. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again.

This hotel promises more than it provides. It is in a lovely location, but the interior is lacking. It is probably trying to upgrade, but hasn;t yet made it, with sad decor in the rooms. The programmes on the washing machine in our bathroom did not work properly and it took hours to tumble dry any clothes. It was useful to have the dishwasher in the kitchen, however. The sofa was uncomfortable and there were very few TV channels available.Our toilet didn't flush properly and when we reported it at reception, nothing was done, possibly due to languge difficulties.

Prisvärt! Nära till Auckland city via färja som endast tog tio minuter. Finns dock ingenting annat i närheten av hotellet än bostadshus. Restaurangen stängd och gymet kändes övergivet och behöver kärlek. Men personalen är fantastisk och det finns det mesta för självhushåll. Lite slitet överlag men helt ok för priset.
