Nice place . However only 1 lift for a 20 storey building and in peak hours takes long time for lift to reach your floor as mine was 19th floor. Ideally another lift is needed.

Have stayed here many times including before 2020 Covid. Very good convenient location near public transport and shops. Nice, friendly staff especially manager Steven Zhang. Very Good pricing, nice rooms,good facilities with kettle, microwave, fridge, and cooking utensils within the 3 room unit. Some rooms have fans. Please put fans in all rooms as it is getting hotter towards summer. Only one issue is pity that there is only 1 lift for a 20 floor building. it can take some time to go to your room or come down to reception as it can get very busy. Apart from that this is a very nice place to stay and would definitely stay here again in the future

Good price, close to amenities, only down was bathroom could have been a bit cleaner, but considering the excellent price, I suspect there won't be much time alloted to servicing, and the cleaning staff were lovely

I had a good stay at Columbia Apartments in Auckland and would recommend to people who are wanting affordable accommodation in the CBD. The staff who helped me on each occasion I had an enquirer were very helpful. Thanks!

For last minute accomodation, it was ok. The apartments are very small, the beds aren't very comfortable and the sheets were very rough. The bathroom was very small. Showers were dirty and mouldy. overall a very average stay.
