The room was huge! There's a separate bedroom to the other area with 2 TVs! It's great that there's a semi full length mirror right outside the bathroom. Their shower has a handicap handle which is a plus for me cuz I tend to be clumsy and would slip. I enjoyed their dinner last night and their breakfast buffet is quite good also. You can pre-order the Eggs Benedict. Another neat thing is that by the fresh fruit section, there's a juice machine where you can make your own juice with the fresh fruit! I chose to eat mine instead ... read more

The bed was incredibly soft and the hotel has full amenities. The room was very quiet, even near the elevator. The WiFi is free with and email, but it gets you a drink. Breakfast had a personal juice bar with lots of fruit options along with a huge buffet. In the heart of the city, but on the hill. The steak, potatoes and broccolini dish in the Hotel restaurant was fantastic and cooked perfectly. The mini bar prices are a bit high. Strong recommendation. Would stay there again. read more

It was a very nice stay. The hotel staff did everything to make my stay pleasant. I especially enjoyed the swimming pool and saunas.

This hotel had such a wonderful location- within walking distance from the harbor, the Sky Tower and the Auckland Botanic Gardens. The lobby was so beautiful with a bar that had coffee, drinks and light snacks available for purchase. The breakfast was awesome- there were so many options and even dishes that were middle eastern, etc. It was neat to try new things (but if that's not your thing they have pastries, eggs, omelets, etc.). There was this wonderful employee (wish I remembered her name), who offered us coffee and pastries one morning before breakfast opened up, since we had an early pickup for a tour, and she was so accommodating. This is definitely a business-geared hotel. You could tell a lot of business travelers stayed here, and they have meeting rooms, a spa, and pool all downstairs. The room itself was okay. Plain and felt a bit outdated. It was spacious enough and quiet, which I liked. We had some towels with makeup stains on them, and the shampoo didn't lather very well so we had to ask for more. Our AC unit seemed to not work one night (I think we set it to cold), but after we turned it off during the day when we were out, it seemed to work again. I loved that the windows opened in the room so we could get fresh air in the evening. The front desk staff was alright- they didn't seem too welcoming and didn't tell us how to use the key in the elevator and gave us a look when we went back to ask. The parking attendants were phenomenal and so friendly! Definitely perfect to have at the front of the hotel. read more

Pullman Auckland Hotel - Beautiful lobby with a TV to watch sports - Hotels Near Me - Auckland, AUK

First time in Auckland, and what a great little stay here at the Pullman Hotel. I was told this place was once The Intercontinental, which usually brings a four-five star rating. With that connotation looming, it appears that thought may just continue to be. In my opinion, it's the location that I dig. It's right next to the university; Which mean good food around the general vicinity. Time to Yelp it up y'all! Service/Registration/Concierge: Dropped off by a SuperShuttle, the bellhop immediately welcomed us and brought us straight to the front desk. We received service with a smile from Gemma as she checked us in. The concierges Stephen and Paris were also very courteous and helpful. They gave us all the information we needed to begin our journey. And also worth mentioning, the housekeeping. When I called, they gave me what I needed. Though one guy did give me a negative attitude, minus one. Room: ~ We stayed at the new residential wing of the hotel. I gotta say, this was well worth it. Though kinda pricey at $449 NZD per night, it's got a small kitchenette with microwave, stovetop/oven, coffee maker, toaster, sink, dishes, dishwasher, and fridge (stocked with candy and beverages). Complimentary snacks also hidden away in the pantry, and liquor above the microwave. The queen sized beddings and pillows were comfortable. The bathroom seemed clean which included a huge hot tub and stand up shower. Plenty of outlet switches as well. Overall/high/tips: ~ No real issues staying here. Kinda expensive, but expected. ~ If you need a 110v plug adapter or converter, call housekeeping. They'll loan you one or two. ~ They've got free wifi and towel heater! ~ Utilize the concierge as they may have the right connections. read more

The exterior is a bit dated looking but still tidy and well maintained. We were assigned room 1024 which gave us great views of the harbor and mountains beyond. The room is clean and tidy with modern decor. The room size is in line with the price point and plenty spacious for two people. The bathroom has beautiful marble and updated fixtures. A balcony would have made this a five star rating. It appears that none of the rooms have a balcony. Free wifi is a plus but it is slow. The location is walkable to quaint restaurants and shopping. A fine place to stay in Auckland! read more

Free wifi, nice service, clean rooms, quite. They gave us a 1-hour late check out, which was really appreciated. We store our luggage with the hotel until our late night departure to the airport, no problem, meanwhile, we can still take advantage of the lobby Internet. Taxis are readily available out front. Next to the University of Auckland and walking distance to City center. read more

Previously crowned the Hyatt Regency, this hotel was bought out by Accor Hotels and subsequently dubbed the Pullman. This explains its dated exterior, though the under-construction apartments adjacent to this hotel would have you thinking they're entirely unrelated properties. Due to weird booking schedules and the price discrepancy between leaving here the day before and the day after (almost $100), I opted to "splurge" for my last solo day in Auckland. I opted for the apartments, wanting access to the balcony and the updated interior. The apartments are accessible through their own lifts, either through an exterior door or through the front lobby of the hotel. Though this was a relatively recent addition to the hotel given the scaffolding and unfinished construction, a lot of aspects of the hotel seemed rough around the edges. There were random scuff marks throughout, the closet door was literally resting on the carpet and had to be yanked open, and the glass frosting on the nightstand was splotchy. Compared to my previous two hotels, however, the rooms were enormous and the bathroom and amenities were fantastic. The gym was located on the bottom floor and was directly connected to the spa. On one hand, having an entirely dedicated floor to the gym/pool means that you're not going to have a half-assed knock down some hotel walls and throw in some equipment arrangement; on the other hand, it means that the gym is not open 24/7 and closed daily at 10 PM. While I didn't have the opportunity to check out the gym, the pool was relatively clean - they don't use chlorine - and minimalist. So minimalist, in fact, that there were literally three pool chairs. I found some hooks on the wall and threw my towel on there because I had no other options. Overall, the whole gym and locker room felt like a slightly more upscale city gym. This is at the point in the review where things go downhill - literally. This hotel is perched on top of a hill so even if you don't like walking you'll either have to hike up or hike down unless you take a car everywhere. I checked in to this hotel with an orange carry on and a North Face duffel bag on my shoulders and by the time I hiked almost a kilometer (half a mile in freedom units) uphill I looked like I was ready to check into a hostel. But the truly unforgivable part of this hotel - so unforgivable I'm going TO TYPE THIS IN CAPS LOCK - is the internet. As a guest to a "5 star" hotel located on the outskirts of the CBD, you're allotted FIVE HUNDRED AND TWELVE KILOBITS PER SECOND. If you want faster speeds you'll have to pay them $10. This is borderline extortionate and completely asinine for 2018 standards. You'd think I'm exaggerating and bitching about internet while on vacation, but 512 kbps translates to 50 kilobytes per second. I speedtested and I scored an even lower 260 kbps internet speed. If you want me to put this in relatable terms, you cannot stream YouTube even at 240p. I was OK with 144p and even that started buffering. Basic web pages barely loaded and at some point I gave up altogether. But why don't I just pay more for internet? Because this is not Spirit airlines and a 5 star hotel should include basic amenities into the price. Also, I'm here less than 24 hours. Imagine my surprise when the next day came and I boarded the very convenient SkyBus to the airport and discovered better internet speeds. A moving bus with Free WiFi has same or better speeds than a 5 Star hotel. Never thought I'd imagine the day. read more

Stayed here for a tradeshow and was impressed with the restaurant, bar and of course the room. Full bar selection and a great bar and restaurant menu. The room had a great shower, comfy bed, air conditioning and amazing view from the seventh floor. I was especially impressed with the concierge service. It was my wife's birthday and concierge arranged a special cheese cake with happy birthday written on it. They also brought some sweet treats to the room for her. They went out of their way to help me make her birthday special. read more

Pullman Auckland Hotel - Gorgeous bar to the left of the lobby - Hotels Near Me - Auckland, AUK

We stayed here on one of our city escapes and while not as luxe as some of the other hotels we've stayed in, it is generally just as expensive. The five star hotel bar is set pretty high in Auckland by The Langham, Stamford Plaza, Hilton et al, and the Pullman just isn't at the same level. There's nothing wrong with it, there's just not much in the way of wow factor. Also the service here is majorly iffy, especially in the Club Lounge. Part of our deal included access to the lounge so we decided to pop in for a nightcap after dinner. The lounge was still 20 minutes away from closing but the attitude of the staff member on our arrival was visibly unimpressed. Once he had got our drinks he started to pack away the food - still a good quarter hour before time. He so completely lacked any service skills I have no idea why they thought to give him a job, let alone in the VIP area. Anyway we pointed out the time and asked him to put it back which he grudgingly did. Unfortunately this kind of thing sours the total experience and The Pullman needs to up its game - the facilities are fine, if a little ordinary, but all around the service is average and below. read more

We came to the Pullman for a work conference and I was completely blown away by how great it was. We spent most of our time in their Princes Ballroom, which was amazing. The décor is luxurious, but modern and we felt really special being there. What got my attention the most was that wherever you went the staff were always so accommodating and helpful. They went out of their way to help us and make sure we were all ok. We also received catered food and drinks that didn't disappoint. On the lobby level there's a full bar, restaurant and lots of places to chill out. I can't wait to go back and actually stay there, especially to check out their spa! read more

Pullman Auckland Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Auckland, AUK

Horrendous management. Hotel itself is a bit run down. Overpriced for what you get. Location is so so. Many better alternatives in Auckland.

I used to live here when it was still the Hyatt Regency. I checked into the Pullmann two times after the re-branding. The ambience of the "new" hotel is a bit more relaxed when compared to the former owner. Although I still think that the actual presentation and image of the Hotel can run a bit contrary to the experience while staying there. Next to the usual business people and tourists you get an awful lot of stag/hen-party people who can clog up the suites. If your room/suite happens to be on the wrong side of the buildings you might have a very noisy night. Due to the L-shaped Pullman and the adjacent Quadrant Hotel the architecture forms a U-shape with noises bouncing off the walls. About the view: The Pullman consists of an older building that is nicely located with views towards Rangitoto Island on one side. I found these rooms to be quite small but I see that they have been renovated as of late. The suites are located in the newer building, with a 50% chance of facing the opposite hotel. If you want good views and nice suites you need to make sure to book the high, front-end suites, They offer spectacular views...for spectacular dollars! read more

Omni Bar in Pullman is great place for quiet drink, where you can have intimate drink. Good selection of wines, cocktails. The interior decor is simple and modern. The restaurant is right across (next to each other), so there's convenience. read more

I stayed at the Pullman in one of the suites from my cousin's birthday do! The place was absolutely amazing, the suites were clean and came with a huge bathroom. The bathroom was perfect as it managed to accommodate 5 girls all doing their hair and makeup without any fights or arguments. This meant a successful beginning to the evening. What I loved about The Pullman was the fact that it was the start of the art hotel and was up to date with technology. We could plug in our iPods and laptops to the TV which enabled us to listen to music and watch movies. Again another amazing start to the evening. After heading out, we all came back and slept comfortably. There were enough blankets for everyone and the living room space was big enough to create space for those that couldn't make it home. read more

So far, not impressed. Informed the front desk that we were here for the start of our honeymoon and couldn't even get them to check us in early after having been soaked by the rain. Cameron White, whom I'm assuming is a supervisor of some sort, proceeded to argue with me about when we should be allowed to get into our room. I informed him that had his staff not kept telling me "oh, just a few more minutes" over and over again for 2+ hours, I wouldn't have been upset. Literally had me in tears at the front desk. And this is a 5 star hotel? Unbelievable. read more

I love this hotel. On the contrary to someone else's review, I find the decor a modern, crisp and clean kind of lux. I actually don't like the frilly tasselled embroidered thing of langham, etc. Which is why I love it here :). Great facilities, lovely staff. It is my choice for staying in Auckland. read more

I've been to the Pullman a few times and I've always been really impressed with how lovely the rooms are and the pleasantness of the staff. Although we just stayed in a standard room I was impressed with the quality and size of the bathroom and every room I saw had a window. The beds are super comfortable and the rooms are nice and warm too (we were there in winter). I also think the catering they do is great. As part of a work function we had a three course meal and it was absolutely delicious! The dessert wasn't one to write home about but the eye fillet was really good and perfectly cooked. I would definitely recommend the Pullman for a conference or work event. read more

I have stayed in many Pullman hotels all over the globe and have stayed in the Pullman Auckland over 30 times. I must say this hotel redefines the standard of 4 star hotels! Every stay has been wonderful. For The room service menus to the restaurants to the friendly bell desk staff just a wonderful and perfect choice for a stay in Auckland. Unparalleled to its brand by far the best Pullman globally! read more

I had a one night stay in Auckland before I flew down to the South Island for work and wanted to stay somewhere in the heart of the city. I did some light research, I was looking for a hip hotel like an Ace or Standard and I didn't find one. (Which is surprising, btw) But I did stumble upon the Pullman - I looked at photos and reviews and it seemed like a good spot. Arriving at the hotel at 8:30 AM, I was sure my room wasn't going to be available, but it was! After a 13 hour flight, this was a big deal. The staff was very fast and helpful. The lobby was modern and tastefully designed. The room was nice and clean with a great view of the harbor. The bathroom is clean and very well done, with marble and bespoke fixtures. It's very close to many restaurants and shops. I had to work that night, so I stayed in and ordered room service, I had the Classic Caesar Salad with chicken and it was fantastic! I've since stayed the hotel another night and had the same wonderful service from, I highly recommend the Pullman Auckland Hotel. read more

The hotel rooms here aren't that fantastic. I had a graduation party here and the room I hired just wasn't very good. We hired a one bedroom suite, and we wanted a balcony. The balcony was a weird shape and not very big, and it had the worst view. Actually, it had no view. It was just a balcony amongst a whole lot of other balconies that were just slapped against the back wall of the building. The kitchen was tiny, it felt more like a motel room rather than what was supposed to be a poshy hotel suite. There was no stereo in the room so we had to request one. It was just a really expensive motel room. Didn't like the place and probably wouldn't rent a room from there again. read more
