Unfortunately the show we came to see in Auckland was cancelled just after our hotel check-in due to COVD-19 restrictions. It did however mean we spent more time enjoying our room and we were very comfortable. It was nice to watch a free movie and make a Nespresso coffee in the morning.

Well Located

Customer review rating 3.5/5

David Couples - 23/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Great location but the decor is not more confused than avant-garde especially in the top floor dining room. Had read about the chef and high quality dinners but the overall feel of the room is more like a school cafeteria. Some of the decorations in the lobby and other public rooms are interesting but don't seem to go together as a whole. Rooms are noisy even on higher floors perhaps due to the single pain windows? Really dislike looking into the bathroom from the sitting area. Perhaps it is a feature for someone taking a romatic bath to look outside, but there is nothing to recommend it when you are sitting on the sofa and someone else is using the sink and bathroom. Shared sliding door between shower and toilet only allowed for water to run from one into the other. Staff were helpful and did a great job.

Second time a charm

Staff was very friendly. Rooms nicely decorated. However, the outside noise bothered us.

Dear Mr N., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the SO/ Auckland at the start of the year. I am sorry for the delay in our response but it appears as though we had incorrectly loaded your email details at the time. We are sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. At SO/ Hotels and Resorts, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us. Since late March 2020, SO/ Auckland has been supporting returning New Zealanders with Managed Isolation facilities. We hope that in 2021 we will be in a position to refresh the hotel and open to the public once again, with the need for isolating hopefully diminishing and borders re-opening. When this time comes, we will stay connected with you and invite you to experience SO/ Auckland once again with a 50% discount on your next room booking in light of the less than ideal experience back in March of this year. Please contact H9… if you have any dates in mind. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, SO/ Auckland Management
