We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel DeBrett. The location was fantastic and made it so easy to explore Auckland on foot, with great restaurants, shopping and the waterfront all close by. We were also very unexpectedly upgraded on arrival, which was such a lovely surprise and very much appreciated. The room itself was incredible, full of character and beautifully styled. We especially loved the art deco inspired decor, which gave the hotel such a unique and luxurious feel. The staff were so incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay and genuinely made us feel looked after. The bar also had a wonderful atmosphere and was a great place to relax at the end of the day.

We had a celebration lunch at the restaurant and the service and food were superb. Wonderful staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and the food was delicious. Highly recommended and we will be back

Great location, staff went above and beyond. I checked out early to attend a meeting but had the wrong time and they kindly let me check back in again. That gave me time to go the gym - anytime fitness on lorne street. It was great having access to a full gym.
