"We were in room 5 with a small kitchenette and large bathroom, wonderfully comfortable bed and very little of the noise other reviewers have described."

The Convent Hotel - A Spanish mission-style boutique hotel with 22 rooms and an Italian restaurant in Grey Lynn

Located in Grey Lynn's artistic district, this 3-star Auckland hotel occupies a historic Spanish mission-style building with ornate ceilings, stucco arches, and vast steel windows. The Convent Hotel features 22 air-conditioned rooms equipped with smart TVs, tea and coffee facilities, and modern conveniences, while select units include private balconies, kitchenettes, and city views. The property's Ada Restaurant, set beneath a glass-vaulted ceiling in the former cloisters, serves seasonal Italian cuisine and specializes in pasta dishes. The hotel sits 2 miles from Auckland's central business district, with Western Park 1 mile away and Mount Eden within 1.5 miles. Surrounding streets house coffee shops, brewpubs, and pop-up restaurants, while nearby K-Road offers vintage stores, international dining options, and nightlife venues.

Pros

Historic building features preserved architectural elements including ornate ceilings and stucco arches

Walking distance to Grey Lynn's boutiques, organic grocers, and local cafes

Ada Restaurant occupies the former cloisters under a dramatic glass-vaulted ceiling

Staff provide local recommendations for dining and city exploration

Cons

10 miles from the nearest airport

Limited on-site facilities compared to larger hotels

“The Convent Hotel impressed me with its playful repurposing of a historic building in Grey Lynn. I think its greatest appeal lies in the character-filled rooms-some even feature balconies. Ada restaurant's approachable, Italian-inspired menu enhances the hotel's local charm. The complimentary snack bar feels like a warm, personal touch.”
