Reviews of Grand Central Serviced Apartments
N.
Room was very large, clean and safe. Comfortable and quiet. Shower head was unpredictable, almost flooded the bathroom out as pressure was to strong for the fixture. Such a good idea to make an old memorable building into accomodation. Only stayed one night with my group, we all were happy with our rooms.
T.
Nice, friendly, and accommodating staff ! Very nice building too, with nice rooms and facilities ! Would recommend ! Thank you very much !
R.
Stayed here 3 nights all up. The first room had the first 2 nights was nice but the last night 2nd time stayed was much nicer. Big long room. Great shower and spacious. Comfy bed. Good facilities. Bar fridge also. Fizz etc. Only thing is was noisy 2nd time stayed with people and trains. Altho they finish around midnight. And back about 6am. Friendly staff. Good location
E.
Good value for money. Very unique space! Old school station, very old. Honestly a little bit creepy at times but our room felt safe. Bathroom was clean and quite new and comfy bed.
V.
Better than it looks. No issues with the room or staff. Very clean. Location is ok but on the edge of the city. Feels and looks low rent and unlikely to stay again which reflects poorly on me.
B.
We had a room on the 3rd floor this stay that backed onto the railway lines. There was a bit of noise from the trains but not to bad. Our room was a new fit out and was very clean and tidy. There is a TV, kettle, iron & hair dryer in the room. This place is right next-door to Spark arena so perfect if you need somewhere to stay for gigs there. They also have parking available for $15 a night.
M.
We enjoyed our stay so close to the Spark Arena. No issues with sound levels which was good. The room was very good, and well serviced. The building is a bit run down, a bit cold, and the staff aren't very available at the desk, however overall we would stay again.
A.
Location was great in terms of it being accessible but not right in the city centre, right next door to the Spark Arena so great if you're going to a concert but not sure what the noise would be like if you weren't at the concert but staying in the apartments anyway. The building itself is extremely interesting as a renovation of the old station and still has a lot of original decor in tact. The room was nice and modern, light and quite spacious.. There were a couple of things about the cleanliness ie smears on the front of the microwave, tea stains on the side, hairs in the bathroom that prevents it from being five stars but otherwise it was a really great place.. would definitely recommend.. we were however in a room overlooking the train tracks and so the noise disturbed me but my boyfriend slept through it no problems... not all rooms are over that side though I don't think, so I guess it's pot luck.. there was an extra surcharge added to the price of the room which I wasn't expecting, because we paid by card but it wasn't a credit card it was a NZ bank card so? But it didn't amount to very much like only $2-3.. overall we really enjoyed the stay and would stay again
G.
Dominic and Kitty run a really nice restaurant and bar. The accommodation is clean and really well priced. It where me and my older brother Peter stay when we go to a concert at Spark Arena. It's only 50 meters away. Food is awesome and very well priced with a cool atmosphere..... close to the supermarket and city centre.... definitely recommended
L.
Fabulous historic building. Lovely room, exceptionally clean. Lovely, helpful and friendly lady on duty. A huge asset.
C.
It provides accommodation options for families, couples and singles. A historic building that has been maintained well. Rental accommodation includes electricity and water. Common kitchen facility, laundry facility. Entry through access tags and keys. Internet service options available- separate payment. Close to supermarket, train station, bus services and 10mins to CBD and Auckland universities.
H.
Fantastic location for a concert at Spark - literally next door. Nice clean room.
The website states carparks for $7 a day but they only have 4 available so this did cost $50 to use Wilson's for 2 days. Need another mirror in the room. One in bathroom for 3 girls getting ready for a concert lol. Great shower.
G.
Frankly real good for the price. 75$ for two per night, with a king size bed. You can leave your luggage for free at the front desk, room cleaned everyday, kitchenette, free good wifi... Thumbs up!
M.
Helpful staff, spotless room, modern bathroom, nice breakfast and good value for money. Only issue was noise from the corridor (which could be cut in half if they oil the door hinges), and the passing trains. But very happy overall and would stay again.
T.
Polite and helpful staff, I accidentally booked for the wrong day and they fixed everything up for me. Fan supplied but could use airconditioners. Bed comfy, pillow a little flat. Overall a great stay in a great location
T.
For the price it was good. But expected more for the upgrade to a King Deluxe room just seemed like a double room. Lovely customer service.
C.
I have stayed here on three occasions and love it. The proximity to the CBD is fantastic, the rooms are clean and spacious. Reception staff are so friendly and helpful. I just love that I can stay in a building that is so iconic to Auckland.
U.
Awesome old building refurbished into apartments and hotel rooms. Great staff and very handy to spark arena.
Bar / restaurant in the lobby is superb.
Love this place and will come back again and again :)
T.
Very clean.But noisy during the night.carpet was old and stained but unit very modern
J.
Fantastic staff who couldn't do enough to make our stay an amazing memory. They all went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience. Thank you to Dominic, George, Kitty, Ivy, Kamilla, Vincent and Lucas..legendary. the Platform 8 restaurant food and service is 10 out of 10
Z.
This is a fabulous old building with a great location.
The staff on reception are friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately our room was at the back of the Spark arena ....they seem to do their glass recycling all through the night .
V.
Loved the old building. Great location, just next to the Spark Arena stadium. Very uncomfortable shower. Dusty room. Helpful staff
s.
Clean, neat and simple room. Super comfortable beddings. Also value for money in this area. Nearby: Sparks arena, Asian supermarket, a few Korean restaurants, and just about 20mins to walk to CBD area (where you can find food alley with variety of Asian cuisines: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thai, Vietnam, India etc)
N.
I had great experience at the room on the ground floor. The ambiance is great. Thank you for the staff for their kindness and helps. The price/performance ratio is unique.
W.
Good hotel everything is clean, great shower and staff is helpful and nice. Bed is very soft and the room stays pretty hot.
WiFi is lightning fast
T.
I was surprised at first with its old style railway station buiding but the quality I got is five stars comparing to the price I paid. No trouble staying there. Convenient location.
N.
Even though it's clean and tidy the furniture state is less than expected. The closet contains only three clothes hangers (see the photos).
Low value for money.
S.
Interesting old building with very clean modern rooms. Staff were helpful.
M.
Better room than expected. There have been renovations done. Great experience staying at a historic Train Station.
A.
Magnificent historical building converted into apartments still carries evidences of the not so old times of NZ railways.
G.
Stayed here for nostalgia reasons. Very helpful staff. Good presentation. No mattress pretector on the bed so I only slept on top. Very unhygienic. Hope this has changed
A.
Hidden gem. The interior was totally unexpected. Very modern, spacious and clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Overall a great experience!
B.
Heritage building nice place to stay clean and tidy with affordable price , next to spark Arena
c.
Staff needs to learn to speak English plus the room is not great but noisy trains not good
L.
If you are going to an event at Spark Arena stay here, parking easy and cheap and sleep well...well appointed rooms, comfy beds..
P.
Value for money, a bit noisey by the lift shaft but being from the country we are not use to city noises so it probably would not bother town folk . Clean and tidy
I.
Good location, staff willing to assist. Would stay again.
Quiet location, very comfortable
d.
Redevelopment of old rail station. Internal mar le pillars remain leaving some of the classic feel to it. Just go to the bar in the foyer for a drink and see for yourself
G.
Very nice. Great locality to the Arena. Bit noisy but the shower makes up for it. Highly recommend.
S.
Very affordable place to stay at the Auckland Central. Was in a deluxe suit, and it’s amazing, nice amenities, modern interior, quiet excellent service.
D.
Grand Central Apartments is a good choice for those looking for accommodation within the Auckland CBD. It is 10 minutes walk from Britomart Metro station and within convenient distance of the University of Auckland amd AUT, and many other important locations in the city. Rates are very reasonable for a city centre accommodation and you can get them cheaper when you go for long term deals.
P.
Great place to stay, quiet and clean, really comfy beds and super close to spark arena👍

(Translated) Quite a specific hotel. Very interesting architecture, well-preserved station. Nice service. Rooms very simple and impersonal, hot water and generally clean room and bathroom. In our room we did not have a special problem with noise.
(Original)
Dość specyficzny hotel. Bardzo ciekawa architektura, dobrze zachowany dworzec. Obsługa sympatyczna. Pokoje bardzo proste i bezosobowe, ciepła woda i generalnie czysty pokój i łazienka. W naszym pokoju nie mieliśmy szczególnego problemu z hałasem.
A.
(Translated) Positive: very good location for driving the Northern Explorer. The old station building has style. The apartments are new and clean, the breakfast in the lunch box ok.
Negative: have never felt so unwelcome. Film recordings were made on arrival. We were driven out, despite the fact that we were guests. We could not be offered a parking space for a short time to unload and check in. We had to circle by car and wait until we got to the room because of the filming. No apology or courtesy came from the hotel staff. Nothing. Obviously we disturbed as guests. Then it would have been better to close the hotel completely.
(Original)
Positiv: Sehr gute Lage um mit dem Northern Explorer zu fahren. Das alte Bahnhofsgebäude hat Stil. Die Appartements sind neuwertig und sauber, das Frühstück in der Lunchbox ok.
Negativ: Habe mich noch nie so nichtwillkommen gefühlt. Bei Ankunft fanden Filmaufnahmen statt. Wir wurden, trotz Hinweis, dass wir Gäste sind, vertrieben. Ein Parkplatz nur kurz zum ausladen und einchecken konnte uns nicht angeboten werden. Wir mussten mit dem Auto kreisen und wegen den Filmaufnahmen warten bis wir auf das Zimmer kamen. Vom Hotelpersonal kam keinerlei Entschuldigung oder Entgegenkommen. Nichts. Offensichtlich störten wir als Gäste. Dann wäre es besser gewesen, das Hotel komplett zu schließen.
I.
(Translated) The size of the room is too big, but at night when there is no custodian (reception or manager), it's because it was an old station, or if there are noisy guests, it will be noisy throughout the building. Sporadically to midnight rather than saying much ... But!
(Original)
部屋の大きさは十分過ぎるのですが、管理人(レセプションやマネージャー)がいない夜は、昔駅であったためか、騒がしいお客さんがいると全館に響き渡ってうるさいです。ずっとと言うより散発的に夜中まで…?!でも、眠れましたけどねぇ?!
B.
(Translated) very good price-performance ratio. large rooms, a bit noisy, but cozy. The special thing is in the old station, huge entrance area in the station hall.
(Original)
sehr gutes Preisleistungsverhältniss. grosse Zimmer, zwar etwas laut, aber gemütlich. Das spezielle ist im alten Bahnhof, riesiger Eingangsbereich in der Bahnhofhalle.
백.
(Translated) It was a train station in the old days, and the atmosphere was so good, and the inside of the room was also very chic and highly acclaimed place. Hotel to want to go again next time!
(Original)
옛날에 기차역이었어서 그런지 분위기도 너무 좋았고, 방 내부도 세련된 정말 극찬할만한 곳 이었습니다. 다음에도 또 가고 싶은 호텔!
