This property was old and rundown. The walls had stains all over them. The AC didn’t work. Opened the windows, but the sound outside was extremely loud. Even with the windows closed, the sounds were still present though more muted. Parking cost an extra $30. Recommend using that money and springing for a better hotel just 1 mile down the road.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I recently stayed at VR Auckland City Hotel, and unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant. They offered me a room on the 9th floor , upon entering the room to my surprise the room was not cleaned and it was all dirty leftovers left by the previous occupant. Then they offered me another room on the 2nd floor. The bathroom was cramped, with poor water pressure in the shower, and the amenities were very basic for the price. The Fan was broken and the TV remote had no batteries The staff was not particularly helpful or friendly, I expected much better quality and service. Overall, I would not recommend VR Auckland City Hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, pleasant stay. It was a disappointing experience, and I won’t be returning.

Issues with the aircon meant our apartment was like. Sauna. When we told reception she didn’t really care, maintenance had a look and he didn’t do anything either. Freezer also not working and the shower needed a bloody good scrub!

tired but good value for money
VR Auckland City is in a good location, but didn't give guaranteed parking. Staff was vey helpful and polite. The kitchen s very convenient to have, but not adequately stocked, no sharp knife, the lid on the one pot was too small and no large spoons, spatulas etc. Although the room was spacious, it was very tired, cracks in the floor tile and sink, grout needs replacing. Even with the negatives, the room was still good value for the money,
