The Convent Hotel (with kids)

It was a winter’s day in Auckland, with a cold southerly wind cutting through to the bone, but stepping inside The Convent Hotel felt like walking into a warm embrace. The interior exudes charm and character, with our room carrying a country French feel – rustic furnishings, brass plumbing, and polished wooden floors that creak ever so slightly underfoot. We stayed in the family room 22 which fitt...

This is an absolutely gorgeous hotel, beautifully updated from the old Convent. Character on every wall and lovely staff who were welcoming and helpful. Will be back again, you have a wonderful little slice of history here.

Room is basically clean and tidy, nothing special. Main criticism is the size, it feels cramped. Plus, not a fan of the rainforest shower head, prefer a hose, but that's just one person's preference.

Lovely stay! Gorgeous room, comfy bed & great location. I also lost my key (don't do that) and finally I found it. The super friendly staff said "wait a few days & see if it turns up", before paying for a lock change which thankfully it did turn up. So nice to experience kindness!

Nice building appearance but incredibly noisy, it's the same as staying in a room above a pub - you can hear everything from the restaurant. I'd describe it as a mix between a hostel and that. I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone looking for a regular relaxing and quiet accommodation experience.
