濱海大酒店(The Esplanade Hotel)

I tried cancelling my booking after I read the reviews but they wouldn't let me. However on the day of my flight it was very sunny and I enjoyed making my way across Auckland and taking the ferry to Devonport. The dinner was a bit too expensive but all in all it was a good way to spend a long stop over in Auckland

The building and position is beautiful - the condition of the property is dilapidated and the bed belongs in the tip. Mattress old and bed base floppy. Also the linen was Kmart quality. We supposedly got an upgrade because they couldn't serve breakfast - heaven only knows what we were upgraded from. No parking - guests are expected to go and move their cars unless they pay public parking fees. Staff were friendly (especially bar staff) and position in Devonport really lovely.

Massive room, lovely high ceilings. There had obviously been a water leak somewhere as there was a musty carpet smell going on. But that happens in amazing old buildings with so much heritage. Room was massive, shower pressure was fantastic. Staff were friendly.

It was a bit run down cobwebs and some damp patches. but worse of all there was no table to plug the kettle in so had to sit on floor then went on the hunt for the cups and found them in the tv cupboard

A beautiful hotel with amazing view over the harbour and so convenient to everything. I loved this place.!!

Worse hotel we have ever stayed in damp ,cold and dirty was supposed to stay 4 nights but only lasted 1 . Definitely not worth $294 a night Have stayed in better backpackers than this hotel . Have to give at 1 star because im not able to give it none

Makes the most of its historical status - its been an icon on the Devonport waterfront for a long time. Facilities good but a little tired. Barman/concierge was helpful and friendly.

The minute we open the door to the bedroom, a strong smell of mould blasted at us, mould on the walls, ripped curtains, dirty cups, dirty stains on duvet and then the wall leaked from rain soaking our shoes and clothes, we were in the penthouse as well, we all felt quite unwell the next day, we went ti talk to someone about it to find office closed and a basket with a note saying, leave your keys here, so upsetting 😡, could be amazing, we paid $258.00 for a night from hell. DONT STAY HERE !

This property should not be on the books - it is terrible. Torn curtains, windows cant close, overpainting on curtains and walls, cracks in walls, very dirty and dusty under bed, room does not have air con, room light did not work........ect ect ect DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!
