Top The Gardens Hotel Reviews

JetPark Hotel Auckland Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our stay was great, including the breakfast, which offered a wide variety of options. The only area where I felt the hotel could improve was the packed breakfast service. As our flight was at 7:00 AM, we had to leave the hotel by 5:00 AM and requested breakfast to take away. Unfortunately, the breakfast box provided was very basic and did not reflect the price we had paid for breakfast. It would be great if the hotel could offer a more substantial packed breakfast for guests leaving early in the morning. Apart from this, we had a wonderful stay overall."
