Everything about Ohtel was above our expectations. Great rooms, very spacious and clean. Parking was easy. Location was perfect. It can get a little noisy on weekend evenings if you're sensitive, but it didn't bother us.

Auckland stay
Quirky hotel but room a bit busy. Welcoming interior but too many chairs and tables in a relatively small space. Overall was nice but not special.

Fun weekend stay
Excellent location steps from the Viaduct/waterfront. Cool mid-century modern vibe, from decor to mood music. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Pool deck looked great, but didn’t use it myself.
Minor negatives were an open-concept bathroom in some rooms, and weekend partying noise being so close to the waterfront taverns.

Great Stay
Enjoyable stay, good size room with excellent facilities. Great location just near Viaduct Harbour where there is a great choice of bars and restaurants, but had no noise issues regarding this. Would stay here again.

Very comfortable hotel in a fabulous location
What a fab location. Just by the gorgeous Viaduct Harbour area. Staff really helpful with check in and parking. Room a good size and with decent air con and coffee machine. Layout with shared sliding door for shower and toilet was a bit weird but we got used to it.

Location
hotel has excellent location to see the harbor and the central business district in Auckland. Nice rooms, with the exception of the strange bathroom layout and potential leaking shower.

Great Ohtel!
Stayed one night for a concert. Ohtel was a superb place to stay, right on the waterfront in the heart of the area but quiet and comfortable

Funky hotel close to the action
This hotel is just around the corner from the Viaduct entertainment district but is soundproofed and quiet. The staff are friendly and accommodating, and the lounge area is great for a quiet drink. My only quibble was the "design for designs sake" glass walled shower and toilet in the rooms - there is a reason bathrooms are usually accessed by a door which can block out light, noise and smell from the other occupants.

This place had a cool design. It was well done with a lovely retro style. I had a lovely courtyard off my room which I really loved. The staff were great. It was so well located to the CBD and viaduct. Highly recommend

Not an easy hotel to navigate especially if you have a car. Not sure how it’s 5 star. No restaurant other than small breakfast pantry. Would be great for hip young things who arrive by Uber and have business meetings out and about, rather than people wanting a relaxing hotel to enjoy facilities.

I liked Ohtel
Quirky hotel room which I like. Very very clean :-)
Night manager gave me incorrect advice about dry cleaning but the hotel made that ok - much appreciated.
No Sky TV which is unusual for a hotel.
