Good location in Auckland CBD

Nice hotel above a brew pub so can get a bit noisy at night but not too bad. The building is historic so no elevator but the staff helped me with my bags. Many things within walking distance.

Courteous staff. No elevator is the main negative concern, but the staff were very helpful in assisting us to carry our luggage up to the 3rd floor.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This historic tavern is well-preserved and well run. My partner & I stayed in-house but had our meals in the bar downstairs and enjoyed the boutique beer/cider. The atmosphere is relaxing & the meals well-presented and very enjoyable. The staff were very welcoming and helpful with any enquiries. The ladies toilet was the only disappointment: it is in dire need of a makeover as it was pretty old, messy & needing some repairs in the walls, etc.
