Top Kelly Tarlton's Underwater World Hotel Reviews

Horizon by SkyCity

10/10 Excellent

"The bed was the best bed I've slept on in a hotel! Beautiful room and very handy to everything!"

Hotel Grand Chancellor Auckland

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very central yet you can have a quiet night's sleep. Our room was small but we did not spend much time indoors as there are amazing things to do around. The art gallery down the road is cool, and do give Weta Workshop a go, it is heaps fun for adults and children alike. We decided against having breakfast even though we were offered 25% discount vouchers, and this was due to the current offer. We could not order a la carte, they only offered a small buffet. If you are a big eater, this would be the way to go, but we wanted something light. There are plenty of cafés near by, and finding a breakfast is not a problem at all. We had wonderful porridge with berries and poached pear at Honey Cafe CBD located ext to the library. There is a fabulous playground for children at Mayers Park near by, the Albert Park is stunning and do try Koiya Japanese restaurant next to the park. There are bus stops very close by, and the airport shuttle is 2 across the street. We would definitely stay at this hotel again, it was great value."

Radisson RED Auckland

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay here! Awesome location in Auckland city and a short walk to amazing coffee shops and restaurants. The harbor is barely a ten minute walk away! The staff are really great too. One receptionist (I wish I remembered her name!) was so so so sweet. I have an aversion to elevators and asked to use the stairs, but she personally went with me up the lift and made sure I was comfortable. Coffee in room is great and the view from our room was lovely. Comfortable and clean rooms! Would recommend again and again."
