Top Grafton Hotel Reviews

Hotel Grand Chancellor Auckland

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very clean & well presented. It was very quite at night for sleeping with no outside noise being heard for such a central location. Nice & close to Sky City & other attractions. I also liked the fact that room service goes late into the night & early morning. I will definitely stay here again next time I come back to Auckland 🙂."
