“The Grand By Skycity emphasizes its position in Auckland's CBD with an ease of access to the Sky Tower and Waitemata Harbour. I noted the well-appointed rooms, especially those on higher floors, provide appealing city views, though some may overlook nearby construction. The on-site dining stands out, particularly at Cassia, though booking ahead seems essential.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Grand by Skycity offers a superb location right by the Sky Tower, making it easy to explore nearby attractions and enjoy local dining options, with Queen Street and the wharf area within a short walk. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some featuring separate showers and tubs, as well as Harbour Bridge views. The on-site gym provides a decent selection of equipment, and breakfast offers a variety of choices; however, some guests have noted that the small double beds and shower drainage could be improved. With direct access to transport and multiple restaurants, this hotel stands out for its central location and convenient amenities.

the gym had equipment, i suppose. it certainly wasn't empty.
check-in was a bit of a laugh they claimed to give me an upgrade, but i'm not sure what was supposed to be so amazing. the shower didn't drain properly and flooded the floor, nice. the small double beds was like a joke considering what i paid.

Surprise Staycation Success

present arrangement helpful staff city access
I arranged a surprise for my partner requesting the staff place gifts in our room before arrival. I appreciate that the gifts were present when we entered. The room was close to everything downtown. Staff members were very helpful and kind.
The shower did not drain properly and flooded the floor. I noticed small double beds instead of queen or king beds. It was difficult to get into any of the food establishments because they were fully booked.
Service

Check-in was simple and efficient so I received an upgrade. I am grateful staff let us check in early because our cruise ship arrived in the morning. The breakfast had signs by the hot food items.

central location pool facility hot tub stale smell elevator wait
The location was central. The Sky Tower and the All Blacks museum were nearby. The bay area and Queen Street were also within walking distance. The hotel has a pool with a sauna and a hot tub. I used these facilities several times .
My room felt a little grungy. I noticed a stale smell upon entering. The elevator wait could be long.
