Rajat B. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

The property is great - well located, the staff is super friendly and all the amenities are there. Yet somehow nothing stood out! Maybe this is the case for all hotels in Auckland (I cannot be sure as I stayed only here), but comparing to the hotels I stayed at in the South island (St Moritz Queenstown and Peppers Bluewater at Lake Tekapo) that went over and above and also provided some amazing welcome gifts for our honeymoon, SO/ was lacking in some aspect despite being a 5-star. That being said, the breakfast buffet is excellent - gluten free brownies are to die for. There were some flies on the desserts in the dessert section so would advise to avoid any other dessert apart from the brownies as they are placed in a different section. Also, the rooftop bar has mesmerising views of the Auckland Harbour and the good and drinks are great as well.

We are pleased to hear you enjoyed our central location, friendly team, and amenities, as well as the rooftop bar views and your experience at breakfast!

We stayed in the Atelier Suite, an upgrade with our membership. The room was great and nice view out to the harbour. Kesi looked after us very well and we found the staff pleasant, helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our welcome drink at the terrace bar and the exec lounge was nice also. We didn't use the upstairs of the lounge due to a private function which was a shame, but we enjoyed the complimentary refreshments in the downstairs lounge.

Kia Ora, Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay in the Atelier Suite and that the upgrade as part of your Platinum membership enhanced your experience. It’s great to know the harbour views, terrace bar welcome drink, and Executive Lounge offerings all contributed positively to your visit. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team and will be sure to pass along your compliments. We are sorry to hear that you were unable to access the upstairs lounge due to a private function, and we understand how this may have been disappointing. Your feedback is valuable, and we will take it into consideration as we work to improve guest access and communication around such events. It was a pleasure having you stay with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon for another enjoyable visit. Sincerely, On Behalf of SO/ Auckland Team

Carl R. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

First time to the hotel. First impressions weren’t ideal, felt like I was entering a luxury nightclub in the worst way. Dark, glossy reception area was a lot, and not intuitive to navigate. The lifts take some getting used to and the strip lights from ground in the corridors are a bit intense. Even the room decor was a bit too intense for my tastes, patterns and surfaces everywhere, and some of the furnishings were a bit worse for wear or even broken. After a couple of nights, I settled in and looked past things not to my tastes or expectations, and found the beds to be really comfortable and the in room bath to be a real luxury after a long day. All up, after some getting used to the unconventional interiors, I enjoyed the space and may consider returning.

Kia Ora, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your stay. We’re sorry to hear that your first impressions and arrival experience didn’t meet expectations, particularly around the reception atmosphere, layout, and check-in service. We appreciate your comments regarding the hotel’s layout, lighting, and overall design. While the concept is intended to create a bold and distinctive experience, we understand that it may not suit everyone’s tastes, and your feedback is valuable as we continue to review and refine our guest experience. We’re also grateful for your observations about the room condition and furnishings, and we will be addressing these with our team. That said, we’re pleased to hear that you found the bed comfortable and were able to enjoy the in-room bath, it's great to know these elements helped you relax during your stay. We are glad that your interactions with our team improved as your stay went on, though we acknowledge that a warm and well-organised welcome is essential, and we will be working on improving this consistency. Thank you again for your balanced feedback. We truly appreciate it and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more seamless and enjoyable stay in the future. Sincerely, On Behalf of SO/ Auckland Team
