This hotel is on one of the great bus routes. 1-2 minutes walk to a bus stop to take you to Parnell, Newmarket or Victoria Park the opposite way. It is modern, fairly new with great bathrooms. We arrived early and managed to get an early check in. Wonderful front os house service.

I stayed at this hotel at the beginning of my trek around NZ, and liked it so much I cancelled the hotel at the end of my trip and booked this one again. Rooms are large and well decorated, bathrooms are huge. Location is ideal. Staff are super personable. It was my favorite hotel of my six ones I tried throughout the country.

Disliked: Amenities
The staff were friendly and professional, the rooms were clean, but the air conditioning unit was loud, the toilets were loud enough to wake the other up when flushed. The Auckland chlorination is so strong that the fan was not able to keep the place well ventilated. My recommendation is new quieter air conditioning units, new quieter toilets and a water filtration system for the building would make it a 5 star rating for me.

Overall we were happy with our stay at Imagine beach hotel. The staff were very friendly and the rooms were fairly new and modern with everything we needed. The location was good and walking distance to the main parts of the CBD. The only complaint we have was the outside noise was easily heard on level 4, including the hallway and roads.
