Amanda A. Families - 8/15/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Out of our 6 nights in NZ included two Accor stays this was our most expensive stay and the most disappointing. Firstly, I had Accor chasing me for payment when the booking was a pay at time of booking. The reception staff when calling to verify were unable to help me as they mentioned that they dont deal with payments head office does and I was just given the head office number to call. Upon check in I showed the reception staff my emails and calls chasing payment and was told to reply to my original booking to show head office. The right thing to do would have been for me to send these to them at reception to manager. Especially as a Platinum member. Upon checking into the room we were pleased with the size and layout, it had been only freshly painted so was in a very clean condition. .However when sending our son for a shower he came out crying due to the hot water being either absolutely boiling then freezing cold then it would completely stop - the same happened with the taps when you turned them onto warm/hot. We alerted the reception the next morning however we were due to check out shortly so requested they fix it before the next customer entered the room. As mentioned in the title this was our most expensive night at around $500nz for one night and out of our whole stau it was the most disappointing.

Kerrie P. Couples - 8/14/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

We booked a fly/drive package through a travel agent. The room on booking was a king room we had no idea the room would be tiny. We read some reviews once we arrived and saw there were stop and go rooms which would have been ok if it was only 1 night we stayed 2. We had people staying upstairs and you could hear everything everytime they went out the door banged loudly. You could hear them walking around which was constant for over 2 hours the first night. You could even hear them have a shower. We had the buffet breakfast on our first morning and all the food that was supposed to be hit was cold.
