Hey guys, I will be heading to AKL midweek. I have not yet booked accommodation. Past few trips I've been on I have either found cheap lodging due to off-peak or have lodged with family.
I remember when I used to work in Canberra around 2010, there was a link via lastminute.com.au and a similar site that offered "secret hotel deals." They didn't tell you the name of the hotel or it's EXACT location until you booked but the descriptions were extremely accurate. Yes, they told you roughly where it was and if you were smart you could pretty much bet your bottom dollar that you could suss out which hotel it was. I travelled to Sydney fairly frequently throughout my work tenure in Canberra and always got 5 star luxury at bargain prices. Sometimes the rooms were huge.
Anyway, obviously, there would be hundreds of if not thousands of vacant hotel rooms mid week next week in AKL. Having never been there before, an considering I ONLY have a maximum of a day and a half to do some sightseeing, I want to be fairly close to the city centre/harbour/commercial hub and close to all the attractions.
I want something comfortable,4 or 5 stars. Size of the room is more important than the star rating. I can't stand being in a 20sq M room. I'm looking for 30-32+ centrally located in AKL and for the cheapest price possible. Wouldnt rule out serviced apartments.
Considering my exploits with great secret hotels was successful (got a great room at the Radisson Blu in Sydney in 2016 for half of what it would have been.
I'm assuming there are apps for this thing now.
Can anybody help me with both my queries?
Thanks!
