The newest hotel of the three in the chain at Sky City. Absolutely beautiful hotel. We saved the best for last. Accommodations were outstanding. Front desk stored on luggage on the last day b/c we had a late flight. Even offered us to use the workout facility to shower before we left for the airport-a first for me. The Grill Restaurant at the hotel food and service gets a 5 star rating. Ir is now my place to stay in Auckland.

Hotel Indigo Auckland by IHG

Auckland Central Business District

10/10 Excellent

The Indigo is an excellent hotel in all respects except the restaurant. The Bistro Saine, which is part of the hotel, is far too small to accommodate all the hotel guests, so long line-ups form for breakfast - and no prior reservations are available. Reservations are required for dinner and the evening dining experience has small portions, high prices and very slow table service. Plan to take 2 hours to eat supper. Fortunately there are plenty of great restaurants in the local area.

Excellent hotel in kind of an Art Deco style in a nice area of Auckland. Not a far walk from the wharf and ferry building. It has a bar on premise with a free drink on arrival. The included continental breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit, toasted muesli, Greek yogurt, bread basket and fresh OJ and coffee. Delightful. It is small, only two floors and we had a second floor one bedroom suite. Top quality linens, gorgeous bathroom and spacious sitting room with a table and sofa. Cool decor with...

The property was very clean but the standout reason I would go there again is the staff. We had a small issue with breakfast one morning and they went above and beyond to rectify it. They were kind enough to get us a van for our ride back to the airport and when my son accidentally left his wallet in the van, I called the hotel. They were able to reach (by some means) the driver who returned to the airport with the wallet. Every member of the staff ensured that our stay was memorable.

The location with shops and restaurants were perfect and the train station a 1 min walk. The was very nice and up to a high standard. I had some friends who lived in nearby condos to check it out because if they have family coming for visit, it was a great place to put them up or if a large family, they move into this place. The constructive comment, it rain hard the other night and as you walk from the car park and enter on the left side, the rain gutters in the left-side on the smaller...
