Top Grafton Hotel Reviews

Hotel Grand Chancellor Auckland

10/10 Excellent

"Newly fitted out so everything was spotless and being kept pristine, buffet breakfast was extensive, staff friendly, the bed was so comfortable I fell asleep within seconds. Great location to walk to many places in central Auckland, particularly the casino. I rarely write reviews but thought I’d share about this wee gem."
