The Spencer Hotel

The central location in Takapuna was wonderful, plus the apartment was quite spacious. However, the Internet was terrible, and we were disappointed in the substandard housekeeping and rather tired looking bathroom.

Was okay. No restaurant available despite it being closed for 3 months and being told it was under going renovations. No renovations were actually taking place. The king bed is just 2 king singles together. Not fun when having sexy time!

Location is very near, walking distance to many eateries, beach and shopping. Parking in hotel underground car park is $30 a day otherwise can park opposite at public parking which is free overnight. Rooms are standard an well maintained. Choose ocean view with balcony, it's worth it. There is no breakfast but a cafe around the corner.

Nice place to get view of Auckland from Northshore side;Hotel is a bit outdated however it has all the ammenities, kitchen and laundry. Great and friendly services

Was a good place too stay just for the night nice and close to the township

I travel weekly overseas for work.After a few problems out of thier control were dealt with.And sometimes im hard to deal with.Having not slept for 2 days.Thank you for sorting me out.Clean room balcony...i cant be more happier.

The room is dated, the bathroom is tired. The restaurant is still under renovation, I saw another review from 3 months ago saying the same thing.The balcony door is so drafty you can literally feel the wind passing through it which is probably the worst part of it all.

Lovely friendly staff but my room hadn't been vacuumed. I do appreciate businesses are struggling with staffing issues at present but this was very visual when I walked through the door. Bed was well made and bathroom seemed clean which was good and it's probably one of the quietest hotels I've stayed at.

Firstly the staff are amazing very friendly and helpful, the location is superb and you’re right in Takapuna. The pool and spa are very nice as well. The rooms are dated, and tired it’s a shame as this used to be classed as one of if not the best hotel on the shore however that is now not the case. The bathrooms have paint flaking away, fans not working the beds feel uncomfortable and and old the TVs very small and just generally feels tired. For the price you pay which is still on the higher end of what’s out there it’s just not great value we didn’t think. We have a special place in our hearts for The Spencer having held our wedding reception there many years ago but time has not been kind and the lack of any real investment in the rooms is now showing.EDIT to reply to review - We had two rooms booked they were Room 410 & 402 we checked in yesterday and checked out this morning, also booked direct via the website so I assume this was hosted via the hotel and not a 3rd party.

Held our business AGM function here for all our sponsors and stakeholders. Highly recommended as a venue. Everything was setup perfectly, very professional environment and the food was outstanding! Fantastic location too, with lots of parking and easy access to transport. We will be back again
