The Convent Hotel

Unclaimed

Absolutely loved the decor, uniqueness and history of this small hotel. Wonderful warm welcome from reception was a great start. I stayed in one of the Nuns Repose rooms upstairs, room 11. It's cozy but big enough for one with a small bag. The decor fit beautifully with the rest of the hotel and nods to the convent. The balcony was large and had outdoor curtains to prevent the apartment right next door from looking in. Bed was comfy and loved the free little mini bar. Noise was OK, you can hear creaking and doors closing but I guess that's what cones with an old renovated building. It would have been five stars except you can't control the room temperature yourself so I was sweltering one night then ice cold the next. Parking was also a bit annoying. You must book in advance as the restaurant staff use a lot of it as do rest guests.

I stayed here for a week and even that wasn't long enough. I LOVE this place and recommend it to anyone staying in Auckland. The architecture, decor and atmosphere is top notch. The staff were always so kind and accommodating. Close to Ponsonby which has great shops and restaurants. Also 10 minute walk from Grey Lynn park. I loved that this place was a good distance from downtown. So a more quiet, chill atmosphere. The lounge and restaurant within the hotel are also great as well.

Beautiful rooms and decor. They're still working on sound proofing due to noise from the bar so recommended asking for a room further away for a good night's sleep. Would definitely stay again as the staff were helpful, friendly and accommodating of our families needs.

Quirky art-filled and unique decor, comfortable room with patio in a quiet neighborhood. Unique setting in a former convent building. A bit of noise from the bar below, but not terrible. (Bar and restaurant are fabulous!) loved our stay here!
