I had a wonderful stay at the Grand Mercure, enjoying its modern decor and luxurious vibe. The location was perfect, surrounded by shops and restaurants with stunning views from the restaurant. However, I encountered some noise issues from the street, which could be a downside for light sleepers. Overall, it was a memorable experience, especially with the amazing breakfast that I still think about!

I recently enjoyed a stay at the hotel, and there were many highlights. The harbor view from my room was stunning, and the central location made it easy to explore the city. However, I did face some issues with cleanliness and the breakfast dining experience could definitely use some improvement. Overall, it's a solid choice with potential for better execution.

I have been returning to this hotel for years, and with its recent refurbishment, it truly stands out. The staff was attentive and quick, making our stay enjoyable. Although the room was smaller than what I expected, it didn't hinder my overall experience. The location is superb, allowing easy access to local attractions, but I did wish for even better customer service at times.

I had a fantastic stay at the Grand Mercure Auckland! The hotel is in an excellent location with plenty to see and do just a short walk away. The rooms were modern and comfortable, making for a pleasant stay. However, the breakfast experience could use some improvement, as it felt overcrowded and the hot food options were limited. Overall, it’s a great value for money, especially given the convenience and comfort.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was great, making it convenient for exploring the area, and my room was clean and comfortable enough for the two of us. However, the service was lacking, and there were significant issues with the management and handling of requests. Overall, it felt more like a 3-star experience rather than a luxury stay.

Rooms
7.0
The room was small but comfortable, although I felt a bit uncomfortable due to the lack of privacy in the bathroom's glass door design. The room was clean and had all the amenities I needed, but it wasn’t very spacious for two people.
