It’s clean and well kept with consistently good reviews. There’s some car parking available. The hotel has a little more character than many in others in the cheaper price range and therefore offers great value.
The Quadrant Hotel and Suites is a perfectly adequate Auckland hotel at a reasonable price in a slightly off central location. It’s in easy walking distance of all of downtown, and it’s close to Auckland University.
A cost effective, clean, safe place to stay; but not an instagramable location by any stretch of the imagination. You don’t come here for a romantic getaway, you come because your budget won’t stretch to something nicer. That said there’s nothing wrong with the hotel or the location, but it won’t be the highlight of your trip – it’s just another cheap hotel in Auckland.
Located on K Road in the top of Auckland’s CBD Haka Hotel is in a different part of town to any of the other central Auckland Hotels. K Road is known for its vibrant nightlife, and there’s plenty of bars and nightclubs close by so expect some noise. You should also expect plenty of drunken idiots roaming the streets on a Friday or Saturday night. You’ll find this is a great location if you’re one of the drunken idiots.
The hotel itself is really nice. Partly because it’s still pretty new (as of 2019) and things are well maintained. Because of this reviews are generally very good, which can be hard to maintain for a cheap hotel.
In summary Haka Hotel is a high quality cheap Hotel in Auckland in a location that won’t suit everyone. But for others the location will be part of the attraction. It’s walking distance to anywhere you’ll want to go if you are young and fit. Eden Park is only 20 minutes walk and Ponsonby is close by. You’ll find getting to the Viaduct is a pleasant 30 minute downhill stroll, However less fit visitors might want to take a bus or uber back up the hill. It’s perfect for younger travellers.

Situated near the top end of Queen Street the VR Queen Street Hotel is a definitely a cheap hotel. It’s still in the Auckland CBD but it’s near the top of Queen Street. So if you’re holidaying here you can still walk anywhere in Auckland Central but it is a bit of a hike back up the hill to your hotel. Consider it part of your fitness regime and you’ll be just fine.
The hotel itself is at the nice end of 3 star or the bottom end of 4 star. You’ll be staying here because of the price or lack of vacancy in other hotels, but it’s actually a nice place to spend a few days. It’s close to K Roads bars and nightclubs. It’s also close to the townhall and Aotea square. All in all this is a really good cheap hotel in Auckland.
