Hotel Grand Chancellor Auckland

Hotel Grand Chancellor Auckland

10/10 Excellent
"Shops nearby down the hill, close to sky tower and a walk to the Harbour and Viaduct. Good location to get around on foot or grab a tour or uber. I had a great view of the harbor and tower and great amenities- shower/bed/mini fridge/couch was all I needed!"
