Great location for public transport (buses), close to some nice bars and eateries, Western Springs Park, Auckland Zoo, and easy to get to and from the city. Beautiful and faithful renovation of this iconic building. The rooms were cosy, the bed was very comfortable, and the decor was stylish. Great to have free off-street parking with easy access to the hotel.

There was no dedicated area to boil the jug so had to balance it on the toilet which isn't ideal (no space on the top of the fridge or on the bedside tables). There wasn't much space around the bathroom basin to unpack a few toiletries for easier access. The light over the bathroom mirror is very stylish but completely useless for providing adequate lighting for applying makeup and getting ready. There isn't a security lock on the inside of the door, which is a must-have for a solo female traveler.

The Convent Hotel was wonderful. Very beautiful inside with all the artwork and the history. It was a bit challenging for our large suitcases to go up the wooden staircase. The room was absolutely beautiful. Every amenity was thought about. There were three of us traveling together and the two rooms (with a mini balcony) were perfect. I loved the Red Skelton paintings in the office when we checked in! Truly a wonderful place, with a nice little garden out back. The beds were THE MOST comfortable! We loved our stay here.

The parking lot in the back is a little tight and there is a light to alert you if there is an oncoming vehicle coming into the lot. It was unfortunate that we didn't have enough time to try the restaurant in the hotel, as it looked delicious.

This was a lovely place to land after a 15-hour flight. Our room had a balcony that had enough space for a yoga mat and a café table. Whomever designed the rooms and curated the collection of art and antiques in the space did an excellent job. There’s an interesting mix of cheeky religious paintings, contemporary work on paper, and antiques and photographs from India. Our room had gorgeous handmade (?) tiles in the bathroom and a copper sink. Our bed was very comfortable, and the kitchenette was thoughtfully stocked with the exact things I want after a long trip: teas, crisps, and good chocolate.

The parking situation was a little confusing.

The ambience didn't disappoint. The interior design is impeccable with so many interesting things to look at. The staff member was awesome - very friendly and accomodating. The free parking was great. An easy walk to K-Road/Ponsonby one way and Grey Lynn shops/cafes the other. Loved the balcony (were in room 11 upstairs). Being upstairs in the middle, it appeared to likely be one of the quietest room positions. The outlook from the balcony was directly into the apartment building next door, but the sheer curtains solved that.

Everything, especially the restaurant Ada. Love the location and the ease of getting in and out of the property. It was also really clean. .

I felt there could have been better attention to housekeeping and the makeup of the bed and consistent provision of towels etc. lMy bathroom lightbulb wasn’t working and it wasn’t fixed during my 5 day stay. It should have been picked up by house keeping. Overall I say they were an 8 out of 10 but everything else was excellent.The room was really clean. I will come back .

This was a special occasion for us and we lashed out for the best room we could - worth it. Balcony, small kitchenette, coffee machine with fresh pods, King bed, beautiful bathroom, just stunning. Our friends stayed in a slightly smaller room and whilst still lovely, we were glad we had gone for the bigger room. Refurbishment of this old Convent has been lovingly done with a real eye for detail, quite eclectic and interesting. We enjoyed pre-dinner drinks in the very stylie bar and of course, dinner at Ada - this is a must!

Nothing not to like.

Looking for something a bit different from your hotel stay in Auckland? Then try The Convent. Though the rooms are on the small side, they are very comfy for a short stay. Great art and decor, and a outstanding restaurant on the ground floor. No breakfast served but there are cafes close by. We found the bus service to be reliable and frequent from right outside the front door. It was fun to stay and would recommend for people who appreciate the querky.

Convent Hotel was a great place to stay in Auckland. The building and rooms are full of character and interesting decor. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom were well equipped with very good showers. The complimentary crisps etc were much appreciated and the free parking was a bonus. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and came to our aid by finding and looking after our pack of travel documents which we accidently left behind. With the city centre only a 10 minutes drive away this a lovely place to stay if you visit Auckland.

I loved the interior design of the hotel and artwork throughout. The space felt cool, hip, yet still comfortable. The staff was helpful and very friendly to welcome me and having Ada just downstairs was delicious for wonderful dinner!

The location is a bit out of the way to really explore Auckland by foot. I tool several long walks to explore the city myself, but I didn't realize when booking that this neighborhood is more ideal to stay in with a car. The Queen room also felt a bit smaller in person than it looks in the photos.

local cafe breakfast as advised by staff was a low point. Keep away from Postal service cafe, i can only wander what the others would have been like. but i would try my luck.

a flickering internet modem was a bit of a shame in the ceiling. all else hotel was quite nice and cosy. i really liked the convent and would return to try the alternative cafes that had higher google ratings than the one the receptionist told me to visit. oh well all is well. coffee tomorow and all is forgotten.
