The Parnell Hotel & Conference Centre

The Parnell Hotel & Conference Centre

10/10 Excellent
"My wife and i were landing in Auckland ftom a long flight from the UK in the morning, so we booked for the night before our arrival as well as the other nights we needed. Other hotels had a strict check in deadline, but Parnell was very accommodating to our needs so we could check in as soon as we arived in the morning. The accommodation was extremely clean and well equipped. The bed was extremely comfortable and shower was amazing. Also had everything we needed to make our own meals and a bottle of milk to get us started with brews. Short walk to the popular Parnell Road, which has plenty of cafes and local shops. I would happily stay here again. In fact we are in NZ for a road trip of the north island (you can follow our journey on insta under make a buckey list)and if it works out I'll stay here again the night before we fly home.works out better for us, I'll"
