Situated in a lively area of Auckland, 'ibis budget Auckland Central' is surrounded by a vibrant nightlife with its proximity to numerous bars, pubs and nightclubs. Guests often mention the noise permeating from these establishments, particularly on weekends. The noise from the nightlife scene, including loud music and partygoers, can be quite intrusive and is described as ongoing until the early hours of the morning.
Despite the consistently high levels of noise, some guests noted this did not significantly impact their overall stay, acknowledging that the hotel's central location places it in the heart of the city's bustling evening activities. The night club adjacent to the hotel is a frequent source of disturbance, making soundproofing a suggested improvement. Nonetheless, the access to such an active nightlife can be seen as a plus for those looking to immerse themselves in the city's evening entertainment.
The hotel does operate without air conditioning, which, coupled with the external noise, might affect the comfort of some visitors.

Rated satisfactory by visitors, the hotel meets standard three-star expectations. While it doesn’t match up to the higher end of the Ibis Budget chain, it offers what one would expect from a budget-friendly option. The rooms resemble a simple, functional boat cabin more than a luxurious stay, but they are clean and private.
Some guests noted that while the hotel markets rooms as studios with a kitchen, the facilities may not be entirely usable as such. However, for those who prioritize affordability and a central location, this property remains a good deal. While not suited for extended stays, its three-star pricing aligns well with the value offered, making it an appropriate choice for budget-conscious travelers.
