Friendly, helpful staff checked us in, upgraded our room complimentary as we were celebrating a birthday. Room was clean, modern and comfortable - amenities were fantastic including the luxury Codage shower/bath products. Room service fish & chips were 10/10, we also had a great time up in the So rooftop bar - super comfortable, private and again fantastic staff/service. Would absolutely recommend So Hotel, the staff really made the experience exceptional.

Kia Ora, We are delighted to read the wonderful feedback and are thrilled to hear that your birthday stay felt special from the moment you arrived. It’s great to hear that the room upgrade, modern amenities, and Codage products were enjoyed. The team is especially pleased that the room service and the experience at the So rooftop bar stood out and the hotel truly appreciates your recommendation. The team looks forward to welcoming you back for another memorable visit. Sincerely, SO/.

We had a blast!

Our stay at the SO/Auckland hotel was delightful and more than we expected. All staff members from front desk to dinning were very friendly, and genuinely happy to assist us on our needs. To the point, we have no complaints about our time spent here.

I enjoyed my stay at the property and liked the hotel. The room was comfortable and appealing as was the rooftop bar, restaurant and lobby. It was probably not the best choice for my 85 year old mum, however, as she found the technology daunting and could not access the lifts. She found the rooms, including the bathroom, lacked the traditional furniture of her preference and the bathroom door slide was quite heavy for her to move. Overall she commented that the property was too dark. Not sure how you would market this to deter elderly people from staying. I was disappointed that the coffee shop was closed for the entire duration of my stay and that the roof top bar was also closed for two days (Jan 1 and 2). That does not leave guests with many options. The manager of Harbour Society (the restaurant) was extremely accommodating and I would like to commend her for her professionalism and service. We appreciated her assistance and making us hot chocolate beverages. I also had a minor incident with an item being accidentally discarded by the room service attendant. I would like to thank the staff member on reception, Kes, who diligently managed the situation with the professionalism and courtesy that one would anticipate. I am most appreciative and highly commend her for expert training, care and understanding. Kes has excellent interpersonal and people management skills, qualities that are highly required in hospitality. I was not impressed with the dismissive attitude and abrupt manner of the duty manager at the time, Akshay, and perhaps he could be reminded of the standard Accor members have come to expect. This manager should also better support his reception team and trust them when handling minor complaints. I provided feedback to a different duty manager the following morning and was completely appeased and satisfied by his expert response and understaning.

Kia Ora, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the hotel overall, including the comfort of your room and the atmosphere of our public spaces. We appreciate your comments regarding your mother’s experience. We understand that our modern, technology‑focused design may not suit all guests, and your observations about accessibility, lighting, and room features are valuable for our ongoing improvements. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the closure of the coffee shop and rooftop bar during your stay. We recognize this limited your options and will review how we communicate and plan such closures. We’re glad to hear that several team members provided warm, professional service and were able to assist you during your stay. At the same time, we regret that one interaction did not meet the standards we aim to uphold. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant teams to ensure consistency in guest care. Thank you again for your thoughtful review. We hope to welcome you back for a smoother and more enjoyable experience in the future. Sincerely, SO/.
