Top hotels in Glen Eden
Cordis, Auckland by Langham Hospitality Group
They no longer have CNBC on tv. Channel air lounge is always cold, I heard other complaining. They don’t notice as they are working. It’s at a lower level than lounge so of course it’s cooler. Busy Chinese New Year, but no reply to room service. Lovely to see a kiwi girl as waitress in Chandelier ...

SkyCity Hotel
Large room which was spotlessly clean and sound proof. Beautiful bathroom too. Night food markets at the base of the tower with many events happening, topped off with superb celebration of Chinese New Year. Staff were wonderful and you can't beat the location. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Pullman Auckland Airport
Wonderful stay! We were initially a little concerned about the proximity to the airport but we’re pleased to notice we could not hear a thing from inside our room. The hotel is beautiful appointed and we enjoyed using the gym too!

ibis budget Auckland Airport
Very nice and clean but small. Worked well for us! We weren't allowed to use the exit stairways...only for emergencies (was told because of liability and safety concerns)
