Top Waiuku Hotel Reviews

Manha Hotel Auckland Airport

Manha Hotel Auckland Airport

10/10 Excellent
"We have stayed here before an overseas flight and it was great. However, this time we missed out as we had to be leaving for the airport at 6.45am and the breakfast doesn't start until 7am. I would suggest that breakfast start at 6.30am so that you can at least pick something up before you leave. (We didn't know of the breakfast hours until we had booked). Everything else was great -an uber from the airport costs around $17 but is so much easier than waiting for the bus. It is in an industrial area, so make sure you have a meal before you arrive if you need to."

"Just a quick stop over for us. However it was so good and I actually said to my husband that I wish I was staying longer! We had one of the ground level rooms which had what I called “our own backyard” that our toddler was able to play around in so that he wasn’t stuck in the room. Breakfast buffet was nothing short of amazing and had heaps of variety, comfy beds (heaven honestly). Our room was super spacious which was an added bonus. They had a portacot for our toddler which was bonus as well. 10/10 will be back whenever I’m in Auckland again overnight."
