I booked the Queen Deluxe unit. The manager was friendly on arrival and my unit was at the back up two flights of wooden outside stairs, which was ok unless you have a lot of luggage. My unit was clean, the bed comfortable, but would have been nice to have an electric blanket, I did find two extra wool blankets which helped. The room is in serious need of updating and the colours on the brick walls gave no warmth to the room. The fridge was stocked with milk and their was coffee and tea to choose from. Salt and pepper would have been nice to have and ended up buying my own. The bathroom was nice with a built shower unit and had little extras. Soap, shampoo and conditioner, the towels were replaced daily. I would stay again if they updated the unit.

Friendly staff,  but needs a fresh paint on the walls

We found Mt Eden Motel was well located between Auckland International Airport and CBD. 20 mins easy drive to tge airport & 40 mins walk to CBD. The motel is a little tired but was clean and quiet and provided basic cooking facilities and guest laundry, value for money. We stayed one night prior to returning home to Oz.

Value for money 

I was here from May 23rd until May 31st. My partner recommended this motel and I’m glad she did. I loved it, nice spacious room with everything I needed for my stay. 

The motel is in an amazing location and I stayed in room 10 which is very private 

I would recommend this motel for anyone wanting to stay in central Auckland

Best value for money motel in Auckland

Friendly staff but room was in need of a serious refresh. We accidentally left some prescription pills (thyroid medication) behind and telephoned back to the motel only a few hours after leaving to organise a friend to collect them for us. The staff had already disposed of the pills which we thought was strange. They hadn't put them aside nor made contact with us.

Bad with lost property.

Not a good example of a New Zealand motel, with a distinctly slovenliness feeling to it. This is where poorly-performing companies send their poorly-performing salesmen to overnight. Only men; women would refuse to go.

Pay in Advance

Be Very careful to read any available terms and conditions of the valid timeframe of the 5 Nites Club. There`s no timeframe listed on the back of the 5 Nites Card, The receptionist dates each night you stay in a Studio Unit and each 5th Nite is meant to be free on a card with 10 spaces for a date.
However, somehow members are meant to know it has to be within 2 years!
The 5 Nites card with 2 dates outside that unexpected 2 year timeframe simply was disregarded as valid!!
Although I asked for that card to be returned as my property, I was refused. I wanted it for a souvenir and for scrapbooking, so that refusal was most disappointing!!!

5 Nites Club

Disappointing. Old,cold,damp and draughty. Not impressed that the total amount of money is taken, rather than a deposit or credit card reference at time of booking - which you don't find out until the end of your booking transaction! So no refunds if you want to leave early.
We had booked 4 weeks prior so no excuses that we had NO hot water on arrival after a long trip, to shower. We had to wait until cylinder filled over night. 
Toilet leaked over the floor on the 1st night, which they dried with towels- although a plumber came the next day.
A small fan heater was the only heating, which struggled as doors didn't close properly.
Oven, refrigerator & microwave all ok, two Tv's; lounge & bedroom.
Bed was very damp & had to put electric blanket on to air, but was comfortable. Serviced daily, but new  towels would be a bonus.
We were in a back unit, so little traffic road noise.
A concern to read in the room information pack, that security is a concern. This was evident with 3 locks on the front door, replacing previous locks. 
Overall, very basic and VERY much in need of a makeover.
Next time, turn the hot water on at the switchboard for your future guests, in advance.

MT EDEN MOTELS

We stayed in a one bedroom on the back block. Very private. Sure you could hear cars coming in at night but its a motel. You could not hear any road noise at all. Motel is not flashy it is very old world comfortable with plenty of room and all the amenities. Well worth the price paid. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We advised them we would be arriving late and they came straight down to set us up.Serviced each day with fresh towels etc. I admired their economies, remember to check fridge is on when you arrive. I think they are green without realising it. I always travel with my own coffee and soap anyway but as I said they restock daily. Plenty of hot water and I loved the power of the old fashioned shower rose. Remember to ask at Reception when arriving for a hair dryer and your Wifi connection.

Quiet and comfortable

My family (2 adults, 3 young children) enjoyed our time here. We missed it when we left. We were given a 2 bedroom unit which sleeps 7 for a reasonable price. It had all the beds upstairs with a single tucked under the staircase a balcony upstairs with small flat screen tv.. it had a kitchen and a big dining table to go with.. and a bigger flatscreen downstairs with a couch. It was very good value for what we paid. The cleaners were good! Our children loved the outdoor pool. Only slip up was when checking out the female owner snatched the key off me and said "Righty-O".... And that was it.... All in all it was great for us. 👍

Great place for us

Very old, rundown, and dated. Is nothing like the photos. 
The staff were friendly but this is the only thing it had going for it. 
There were a lot of cobwebs and we saw a couple of cockroaches. There is much nicer accomodation in Auckland for cheaper.
