Mollies

The best

Had an excellent time at Mollie's, mostly due to the personal attention of Bernadette and Steven, the owners. We only had breakfast on our meal plan, but it was fabulous, especially the poached egg and avocado. The room was upstairs, had a loft and balconies outside the main and loft floors. Air conditioning, important in NZ's summer months, was more than adequate. Parking was off street and plenty large enough for our rental Toyota Highlander and the other guests' vehicles. Location was good. Close enough to downtown Auckland as to be walkable if you're able to walk a few miles, but you'll probably want to take a cab back. The local restaurant/shopping area is a neighborhood called Ponsonby. There is plenty to see and do there, it is also walkable but probably not going back to the hotel if you've done any shopping.

An absolutely fantastic multi-level room with wonderful décor and views. However, we were greeted by a young woman from the kitchen who had outrageous body odour and on departure it took a full fifteen minutes for the two young women to work out how to take my money even though they were getting guidance from some guy on the phone! Fifteen minutes was an appalling amount of time for a checkout and frankly when I'm paying that type of money then Mollies can supervise it's trainee staff in person and not inconvenience it's paying customers!
