I had a decent stay overall at The Chancellor On Hobson. The location is ideal, close to the wharf and city center, making it easy to explore Auckland. However, I did encounter a few issues with the room cleanliness and maintenance that were hard to overlook. Staff were generally helpful, but some aspects of my experience left me wanting more.

The room I stayed in was a bit worn out, with noticeable marks and some maintenance issues like cracked tiles and loose showers. The photos online made it look way bigger than it actually was, which was a letdown.

The hotel is conveniently located, just a short walk from the Viaduct and lower Queen Street. This made it very handy for exploring the area, yet being slightly away from the main roads allowed for a calmer atmosphere.

The dining options were a bit limited, and I felt the breakfast selection was not worth the cost. There were some insects near the food, which was off-putting.

I enjoyed the pool and gym facilities, although during my visit, the pool was unavailable due to maintenance work. It would have been nice to have access to all amenities.

The room was spacious, which I appreciated, but it felt quite worn out. There were cracked floor tiles, a hole in the toilet door, and the furniture showed signs of aging. I also noticed that the cleanliness wasn't up to par, with marks and stains visible throughout.
Service

The hotel staff were friendly, but the service could be frustrating at times. I found it odd that I wasn't informed about ongoing renovations that created constant noise. Checking out was also a bit of a hassle with only one person at reception, making the process slower than anticipated.

The location was one of the hotel’s strong points, being close to many attractions I wanted to visit. However, the noise from the surrounding road traffic was noticeable and detracted from the experience.

I didn't have a pleasant experience with the food offered at the hotel. Some items were already gone by the time I arrived for breakfast, and there seemed to be a lack of attention to keeping the dining area tidy.

The facilities were basic and showed signs of wear. I found the bathroom particularly dated, and I encountered issues with the air conditioning not working properly, which made for an uncomfortable stay during warmer days.

My stay at The Chancellor On Hobson was a mix of good and bad. The location was fantastic, within walking distance to the vibrant Viaduct and other Auckland attractions.
