This feels like a student halls of residence with rooms arranged in a two bedroom shared unit (or at least that's what we saw). The two bedrooms share a kitchen and bathroom. It's not grand, but it does everything you need it to do. It is an excellent location in easy walking distance of Sky Tower and the Marina. Be aware though that the wifi must be purchased separately. This seemed to come as a shock to a number of people. There is very limited parking, which you have to pay extra for, but be warned it is difficult to get in and out of, but nearby there is a multistorey car park (although more expensive).

Everything. Great value for money. It is NOT a great luxury stay. But anyone that would expect that kind of service for a 47$ private double room is out of his mind. That's one of the best value for money I got in my stay in New Zealand. For that price for two people you would usually only get two beds in a 12 bunk bed, or a really unclean private room. Columbia is clean and nice. Try it, don't be afraid of cheap accomodations ! That's where the real people are. Change your expectations. Dirty elevators won't kill you.

The owner is good to talk to and the mart next to the apartment is a life saver. Your stay (like in all shared spaces) depends on your roommates and other people staying in the floor. I was fortunate to get good flatmates who were considerate and also helpful. Location (other than in the evening) is good if you want quick access to Symonds street, Queens Street or K-road. For students coming in and wanting to book the apartment, you will find a video on YouTube by CjS Vlogs on Columbia Apartments. That might be useful before you book.

Would recommend this if you’re on a budget and are planning on basically just sleeping. Good location, comfy bed, nice shower, nice staff, decent view. Good value for money.

The location and view from the window was great, and it was fantastic value for money. The room was simple, but clean and tidy. The description of the accomodation was accurate and we knew what we were paying for.

The room was clean and well-ventilated. Very silent as it was on the 19th floor with a beautiful view of the city with the Auckland Museum in the background. The accommodation provide us with two toilets and one shower which was very convenient, also a mini kitchen with all necessary facilities including a mini fridge. The location couldn't be more convenient - in the city's heart! The bed was comfy enough for relaxing sleeping.
