Best Hotels in Devonport

This was our last stop on our trip around New Zealand. We took the ferry to Devonport and had brunch at the Esplande before going to the airport. We made allowance for the staff who were clearly busy trying to set up for the day but our group of four loved everything about it. We are easy going customers so it did not matter if the service was a bit slow, we were quite contented to sit in the window seats and watch the world go by. Brunch came and was fantastic. It was the best way to wind up our travels and we would certain go there again

From check in to check out everyone I dealt with was so polite and helpful! The Duty Manager Lucas was so accommodating when I requested to extend my stay due to family circumstances. The buffet breakfast was a delicious spread of all things breakfast! Room service was fast and the food arrived hot! The location is perfect to all Auckland City amenities. And the Rose Gardens across the road are a perfect morning stroll.

Perfect Parnell Hotel Had one night here with the family and it was just perfect. The hotel was well maintained, clean, user friendly, comfortable, attractive and nice to be in. The room was well appointed and had everything we needed for our stay. We had a separate bedroom with two large beds in it. Very comfortable and fresh. The lounge was a good size. It had a mini sofa, some arm chairs, a round table and a little balcony looking out at the city and harbour. There was a bit of helicopter noise at night due to the proximity of the hospital. The hotel as in a nice location, just a short walk to the Rose Gardens and a set of shops that had a veggie shop, chemist, corner store, sushi shop and a café.

The room had shampoo and body soap available, and both the room and the bathroom were clean with good security. English is not my first language. I have lived in Australia for one year and spent two weeks in New Zealand, and I have never had trouble understanding English before. However, I had a little difficulty understanding the English spoken by the receptionist at this hotel. He didn't have a smile, so I felt a bit nervous.

My husband stayed here once by chance and now it has become the place he stays most weeks, Large, clean, quiet rooms, equipped with everything you could need, coffee machine, microwave, big screen tv, the comfiest bed and a huge bathroom with a good shower. But the best thing by far are the staff, from the friendly welcome and attentive service, you couldn’t ask for more, little touches like remembering your names, means a lot…. Have to give a special mention to Pawan, it’s just like a friend greeting you, a genuine friendly welcome back every time, makes you feel like you are home. Thanks Pawan!

A centrally located hotel within walking distance of the harbour and other attractions. Stayed here for two nights to recover from a long flight before setting off on our New Zealand odyssey. Check in is efficient and our room was on the 23rd floor which afforded views across the city. The room was spacious and clean and the king size bed very comfortable. The bathroom was stocked with good quality accessories and the shower was powerful and hot. Ideal. However, we were close to lift and the whooshing noise when it was in use would annoy some. Breakfast was a little disappointing. The buffet is expensive for what’s on offer and the quality of the food we found average at best. At the time we stayed there was major construction work in progress outside the hotel although we were out during the day so it didn’t bother us.

We visit NZ often and when in Auckland always stay at Quest Parnell. Staff are most helpful and friendly. If you arrive out of hours there are detailed instuctions at the door to gain access. If arriving before your room is ready, staff will keep your luggage safe. After hours checkout is also easy. If you do have a car, you can book a secure parking bay for about $27 per night. A car is not necessary though as it's an easy 10-15 min walk into the city centre or a 2 minute walk to a nearby bus stop where there is a bus about every 10 minutes. There are plenty of good food outlets on Parnell Rd and a large Countdown supermarket near the harbour. If feeling enegetic you can walk back to Quest from there but it is uphill part of the way so it's good to use the green or orange buses which run every few minutes. We generally have a 1 bedroom apartment which is a good size and well set out and has a washing machine in the bathroom. The kitchen has a cook top and microwave, dishwasher and full sized fridge whch is very handy if self-catering and staying for a few days. The apartments are very clean and well-maintained and are serviced each day except Sunday. Highly reccommended

The room facilities are very complete, there are washing machines, clothes dryers, parking spaces are few, only a few, there are many paid parking lots next to it, the university is nearby, very convenient. . .

Holiday Inn Express is one of my favorite hotels during my 2-week stay in New Zealand. It is located in the heart of Auckland’s cbd area and close to everything (shops, restaurants, bars, harbor). It is a 6-minute walk to the Sky Tower where you can pick up the Airport Express bus for $17 nzd. The hotel entrance is on a significant incline. The reception is on the 2nd floor which you can take either an elevator or escalator up. The cafeteria and small lounge are to the right of the reception desk. Breakfast was the usual scrambled eggs, sausage, ham, toast, yogurt, cereal, fruits, muffins, and other pastries. Due to the high volume of clients the 2 coffee machines were usually low on milk to make certain coffee drinks. I love the room set up. The closet is across of the bathroom and had plenty of room for your luggage. The shower is enclosed in a glass cube with wave designs. A nightlight in the bathroom saved on electricity if you need a little light to move around the room. The bed was comfortable and the a/c worked. The reception staff was kind to let me stay an extra hour past the check-out time for the room that I had with my tour. The room that I booked after the tour was ready early and I got to settle in at 11 am before my afternoon tour. Construction is happening around the hotel with the streets being torn up and a new building under construction next to the hotel. The hotel is well insulated that I couldn’t hear any of the construction.

We had a twin room for two friends going to a concert. The room was very plain and basic , but for us that was ok as it was really only somewhere to sleep that night.We didn't spend any time in the room other than to sleep. No air con in the room we had - not sure about the others. Directly across the road is the charming historic Parnell Village. We were able to walk to the CBD to catch the concert bus and a taxi back was around $15. There are a couple of cafes close by for coffee/breakfast,etc. The main thing is the room was clean. It's not a conventional hotel with a bar, restaurant, gym, lounges but is good value for money if you just need basic overnight accommodation.
