The Convent Boutique Hotel

It was a winter’s day in Auckland, with a cold southerly wind cutting through to the bone, but stepping inside The Convent Hotel felt like walking into a warm embrace. The interior exudes charm and character, with our room carrying a country French feel – rustic furnishings, brass plumbing, and polished wooden floors that creak ever so slightly underfoot. We stayed in the family room 22 which fitted 3 adults and a 5yo very comfortably. The walls are adorned with eclectic and thoughtful art, each piece adding to the hotel’s unique personality. There’s a sense of history here, paired with modern comfort, that makes it more than just a place to stay – it’s an experience. The restaurant menu looked excellent, though sadly we didn’t stay long enough to try it – a reason to return next time. Conveniently located close to the city, it’s the perfect base for exploring Auckland while enjoying a touch of boutique luxury at an affordable price.

Lovely stay! Gorgeous room, comfy bed & great location. I also lost my key (don't do that) and finally I found it. The super friendly staff said "wait a few days & see if it turns up", before paying for a lock change which thankfully it did turn up. So nice to experience kindness!

Lovely friendly welcome. Our suite was perfect and the bed was sooooo comfortable. Lovely bathroom and well equipped kitchen. Easy check in and check out. Lovely and peaceful accomodation. The host recommended a great place for breakfast. Will definitely stay here again.

This is an absolutely gorgeous hotel, beautifully updated from the old Convent. Character on every wall and lovely staff who were welcoming and helpful. Will be back again, you have a wonderful little slice of history here.

Room is basically clean and tidy, nothing special. Main criticism is the size, it feels cramped. Plus, not a fan of the rainforest shower head, prefer a hose, but that's just one person's preference.

Nice building appearance but incredibly noisy, it's the same as staying in a room above a pub - you can hear everything from the restaurant. I'd describe it as a mix between a hostel and that. I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone looking for a regular relaxing and quiet accommodation experience.

Stayed for one night prior to flight out of Auckland to home. We booked an upstairs room based on other reviews about noise (the Chapel as I recall) and it was nicely decorated, had a small kitchenette with an espresso machine, sink and mini fridge. Also a balcony with tables and chairs - nice place to hang out and chill (except for the noise at recess from the school next door. We did not experience noise from the two events going on (one in the bar and one in the restaurant) after about 10 pm. We did have dinner in the restaurant (reservation was necessary) and it was pricey but excellent. Nice staff, interesting and decor and nice bar with balcony.

Quirky art-filled and unique decor, comfortable room with patio in a quiet neighborhood. Unique setting in a former convent building. A bit of noise from the bar below, but not terrible. (Bar and restaurant are fabulous!) loved our stay here!
