Top Whakatiwai Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Auckland Karaka

DoubleTree by Hilton Auckland Karaka

8/10 Good
"Very clean, modern and comfortable hotel. Check-in was easy and the warm cookie on arrival was a nice touch! Staff were polite, although not overly warm. It was very quiet, but the location is handy to the motorway with plenty of takeaway options nearby. Loved the lighting controls and low night lights in the bathroom. When we popped out to get dinner, we ended up getting the last secure parking spot which we found odd as the hotel didn’t seem busy; parking may be limited when busy? Overall, a good stay and would stay again."
