cruzadict Posted July 13, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I have been looking at the Langham Hotel for our 4 day post cruise in Jamuary but read on another site that this hotel is not in a good part of the city. Has anyone stayed at this hotel who can let me know if this is correct. We wanted a really good hotel with WOW factor to finish off the holiday so any suggestions would be great. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chrismch Posted July 13, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2009 We stayed there in Jan 2005 for 3 days before our cruise. It had just changed names from the Sheraton to the Langham. It is located at the top of a street (this city is hilly). An easy walk down to the harbor of 15-20 minutes. Remember it as a very nice hotel (but no wow factor like the Hyatt in Sydney our other hotel at the end of the cruise) and we liked the location. It wasn't located in a fashionable or trendy district but we felt safe there. It was just 1/2 block away from the dairy store (similar to a 7/11) where we could have coffee, juice and a hot breakfast of quiches or meat pies and ice cream in the afternoon. This was important as a full American breakfast in Aukland at a hotel will cost around $25 pp or you can get a meat pie, quiche or sausage roll for about $3 each and coffee for around $2. The hotel also had a fitness center so we do a quick swim, shower and freshen up after our long flight. We had arrived at our hotel around 8am and no rooms were yet available. We had a change of clothes in our carryon luggage so this gave us a quick start to our day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
