Avoid the soul-destroying Waldorf Bankside
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/19/09
- joke of a water view. The merest glimpse between office buildings or in the far distance. You'd be far more likely to see the top of the multi-storey car park that is directly opposite and beyond that the ghastly 70's office block.
- crummy furniture, straight out of a secondhand shop
- poorly-designed interior - acres of space for kitchen facilities, no space for bedside table
- smoke detector positioned directly over bed, means flashing lights all night immediately overhead. Insane.
- prison-like decor on landings. Bare concrete, bare steel girders, bare strips of metal. For real!
Experience the worst that Auckland has to offer at the Waldorf Bankside, if you dare.
