Top Hillcrest Hotel Reviews

Radisson RED Auckland

8/10 Good

"The room was nice and clean, although there was really loud construction work going on outside that started very early in the morning waking us up each day. Would have been nice to be warned beforehand. The staff at reception were very nice and helpful. Breakfast was very disappointing - over an hour before breakfast was due to finish over half of the food stations were empty and never replenished, so there wasn’t much on offer. The staff never replaced any of the empty items."

Hotel Grand Chancellor Auckland

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely new hotel centrally located in Auckland CBD. Nice views of the harbour and well appointed room with a super comfy bed. Nice welcome on arrival from Jameica on the front desk and great service from Thea in the Hotel Restuarant. Excellent food ,good portions and obviously cooked by a chef as opposed to a Cook. We’ve tried a number of Auckland CBD hotels and this one is our go - to."
