Have stayed here many times including before 2020 Covid. Very good convenient location near public transport and shops. Nice, friendly staff especially manager Steven Zhang. Very Good pricing, nice rooms,good facilities with kettle, microwave, fridge, and cooking utensils within the 3 room unit. Some rooms have fans. Please put fans in all rooms as it is getting hotter towards summer. Only one issue is pity that there is only 1 lift for a 20 floor building. it can take some time to go to your room or come down to reception as it can get very busy. Apart from that this is a very nice place to stay and would definitely stay here again in the future

Nice place . However only 1 lift for a 20 storey building and in peak hours takes long time for lift to reach your floor as mine was 19th floor. Ideally another lift is needed.

Thanks to the hosting, good experience.

was just okay, good for price is what you pay for

Bring a wedge with you to secure your bedroom door if you cannot afford anything better. Situated at the bottom of a very steep hill well away from amenities. Staff do not have a good grasp of English. I would avoid this and use backpackers or ordinary hotel such as the Albion in Hobson street instead.

Pubes on the toliet

Carpark is tough. Good pricing, rooms are clean but can be made over.

Booked in my family for two nights, we ended up staying one night. It was AWFUL! The place was so dirty i just couldn’t believe it. The room we stayed in had 3 separate bedrooms, 1 toilet and shower. All disgusting! Nothing was clean absolutely nothing! I ended up putting their towels down on floor for us to walk as it was that dirty! I wiped fridge, sinks and tables before we even did anything. My poor children was so happy to stay in apartment for the weekend but i could not leave them one more night in that disgusting awful place. Elevators dirty and old and only one. Dodgy people walking in and out all the time. Not a place for children at all! The stairs was so disgusting and what the hell is that smell all over that place! You have been warned. Do not stay here. Rough and run down. Spend your money somewhere else. Im sorry to my children:(

Very relaxing trip

Room was different to the one booked. Had to choose between 2 rooms, 1 had no curtains, the other smelled of cigarettes

Good cheap accommodation, central. Nothing flash, but perfect for a short stay.

average had to buy internet at $10 no tv a shared toliet and shower kitchen but i was only one in !

Half my bed was wet. Smelt like fish in the halls. There was blood on the ground. The toilet wouldn’t flush, which lead to water leaking on the ground and leaving a puddle.

Location location location great!! Servicing great also However bathroom for me too small to sit on loo cupboard blockage. Shower recess could be cleaner!! Taps in bathroom very difficult to operate, no plugs for sinks

Very basic good location lots of keys made it hard to get into room

it was dirty and we couldn’t drink the water, and there was no onsite parking. good location in city centre though

Central location, student accomodation

Central location, this is also a student accomodation, only one lift but never waiting too long, have laundry.

Wouldnt stay again service was nothing and overall very very very dirty

Sharing a bathroom isnt something i will do again any time soon x

Not so good. Not clean enough. No heater. And the other occupants were noisy slamming the doors

The walk to the property is a bit uneasy, the room is small and mainly students. The location is pretty strategic to city center.

Tiny room-have been in closers that were larger. No a/c. It is more of a very tiny dorm room for the adjacent university.

Nobody in reception when we arrived, waited quite a long time then told we had been moved to adjacent Empire building. Room fine. Building appeared to be mainly student accommodation for Asian students. No parking available; we parked in a street 10 minutes walk away with meter payment from 8-6 Mon-Sat.

I had a good stay at Columbia Apartments in Auckland and would recommend to people who are wanting affordable accommodation in the CBD. The staff who helped me on each occasion I had an enquirer were very helpful. Thanks!

Just a bit dirty and shabby will not recommend- no air conditioning very stuffy and shabby tower block.

Booked a city view room but got a brick wall view instead, only gave us a 15% refund discount
