Very cramp for this 2-bedroom unit for 7pax. Does not have enough chairs for 7pax dining. The kitchen is small, the fridge is not mean to store frozen food as it does have a freezer. There was no oven glove if you do grilling. No closet in one of the room. Mirror should be provided in both bedrooms. Hot water for shower need to wait for 15 mins after each person used it. However, the host was friendly and accommodative.
I stayed in a renovated room. Staffs very nice. The room was basic however good value for price. I liked the renovation efforts definately no frills but adds a freshness, simplicity and modern feel to the motel room. I noticed lots of noise from upstairs and tennis court across from garden however other guests were considerate and nil sport or noise late at night. The fridge was humming (there was a single bed in the lounge area) which was a bit annoying so i would not reccomend that area for sleeping. I would however reccomend the for couple or two people happy to share a bed as the bedroom was better. I was a bit worried about security as there is no chain lock and the window opens widely however there are cameras. Small shower and bathroom however remains excellent value. I really liked how they were not knocking on my door sharp on checkout time as I was travelling with small children. Thanks for great value and fresh living space.
It's an older property but very well maintained. Staff is excellent and very responsive (Janelle). It could improve the outside lighting. Our daughter walked back after dark and a few too many dark spots. Overall, a great place at a great price.
The room was dated but spacious, clean and functional. The staff were pleasant and went out of their way to be helpful. The location is close to Mt Eden's walking/jogging routes and the views of Greater Auckland from the top are well worth the walk up from the motel. Boutique cafes and restaurants were only a short walk from the motel and a jaunt around the suburb's side streets revealed many gorgeous examples of lovingly maintained and restored colonial houses. We were originally going to stay in the Central Business District (~5 km from Mt Eden) but changed our plans and were so glad we instead stayed in this quaint neighbourhood.
First time visiting New Zealand, and this Mount Eden Motel was my first stop place for my week stay in NZ. Friendly folks at the front office and very nice place for the great price. Will book here at the Mount Eden Motel again, when my next visit !! Thank you, Mount Eden Motel staffs (mon and daughter) !!
